The Embassy of Luxembourg in New Delhi, India recently played host to a high-profile diplomatic gathering honoring the formal “Trounwiessel” — the official transfer of power in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The reception, led by Ambassador Christian Biever, brought together diplomats, ministers and foreign dignitaries to mark the ascent of Grand Duke Guillaume V as the new Head of State, following the abdication of his father.
More than a symbolic ceremony, the event underscored Luxembourg’s diplomatic reach and the international interest in its century-old monarchy. Guests included foreign envoys, prominent policymakers, and diplomatic staff — all gathered to toast a new era. The reception served both as a celebration of continuity and as a reaffirmation of Luxembourg’s enduring ties with partners across the world.
For Luxembourg — and those abroad who follow its royal traditions — the Trounwiessel marks a historic moment. It combines constitutional change with a gesture of openness, signalling a future rooted in tradition but attuned to modern international relations.
