GD Henri will appoint his son Guillaume as Lieutenant Representant in October - 2024

Pretty sure he won’t abdicate before that. Personally, I’d hope that he fully hand over shortly after that (maybe even a day later now Guillaume is appointed on the 8th?). One year in the role seems enough practice to officially take it on.

The ceremony will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 8, 2024. The signing of the Grand Ducal Decree of appointment by Grand Duke Henri will take place at the Grand Ducal Palace. This will be followed by the inauguration of the Hereditary Grand Duke before the Chamber of Deputies, as provided for in the Constitution.

The official program was revealed:

Grand Duke Jean abdicated 7 October 2000 and hopefully Grand Duc Henri will wait until after his Silver Jubilee.

Agreed, he needs to wait for that 25-year mark and celebrate his years of service to his country, and one day his son will do the same and retire in good health too.

Does anyone have pictures of Henri's appointment as lieutenant-representative? I do recall pictures of his ascension to the throne but not of this moment.
