First, it was announced that Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II would step down as monarch on January 14, 2024, and relinquish the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik. And now, it seems that another prominent royal may be following in her footsteps.
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg recently told the French publication, La Libre, in an exclusive interview that he plans to retire from the throne “at some point.” Translated by The Daily Beast, the 69-year-old royal shared with the outlet, “All this is planned in family consultation. I find that it is very important to give young people a perspective.” He also added, "There are plans, it will happen.”
