Luxembourg’s Grand Duke Henri formally signed the Act of Abdication on Friday (October 3) ending nearly 25 years on the throne. His eldest son, Crown Prince Guillaume, has become the new Grand Duke following the ceremony.
Luxembourg lies between France, Germany, and Belgium and has a population of under 700,000. It is a constitutional monarchy in which the Grand Duke holds executive power and bills only become law with his signature.
Among the attendees were the Belgian royal families and the French and German Presidents, Emmanuel Macron and Frank-Walter Steinmeier respectively.
