The Grand Duke Henri
Hello, I'm Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. I succeeded my father, Grand Duke Jean, who had succeeded my grandmother, Grand Duchess Charlotte. Today, I have handed over my position to my son Guillaume. It has been an honour for me to serve Luxembourg, the Luxembourgers and all those who live and work here over the past 25 years.
Grand Duke Henri was born on 16 April 1955. While studying at university in Geneva, he met Maria Teresa, who became his wife and with whom he has five children: Guillaume, Félix, Louis, Alexandra and Sébastien. His role as Head of State includes a number of different tasks, which are explained on this website. He thinks about future generations and is very aware of all the problems facing the planet, both in his work and in his everyday life.
He swims, plays tennis, skis and sails regularly and enjoys going out on his motorbike. He also enjoys literature, music, nature and sports. But he likes to make time for family time, because he's also a loving grandfather to Noah, Gabriel, Amalia, Liam, Balthazar, Charles, François and Victoire.
