Day of Funeral
© GRAND DUCAL COURT / LOLA VELASCO / ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
This morning, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg released a
heartfelt letter about his late father, Grand Duke Jean.
The letter was released by the Grand Ducal Court in both
Luxembourgish and French. The translation of his letter, done by
Luxarazzi, is below:
Dear fellow citizens,
Today on the day of the funeral of our beloved father, I would
like to tell you how much he meant to us, his children,
children-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was
always there for his family, despite his many obligations he
fulfilled with a great sense of responsibility and duty. In
this, he could always rely on the support of his wife, my
mother, Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte.
His open and affectionate nature and his ability to approach
people impressed everyone who met him. He was an incredibly
positive person. He could always be enthusiastic about
everything. Up until a few days before he was hospitalised, he
insisted to take part in the Forum (about sexual violence) my
wife organised or to visit exhibitions.
He was interested in everything that happened in the country.
Even the difficult Brexit agreement proposals contained few
secrets for him. I am convinced that our father’s sincerity and
enthusiasm are some of the reasons he reached such an old age.
He passed his zest for life on to us, his family, and his humour
brought more than one tear of joy and laughter to our eyes. He
was our constant support, encouraging us, congratulating us for
our actions while fully respecting our choices and decisions.
Of course, the other ambition in his life was the deep love he
felt for his country and the great affection for its people,
their unity and diversity. The hardships he overcame with so
much courage built an unparalleled connection with his mother,
the Grand Duchess Charlotte. He believed in the good of
humankind and its progress, just as he took great pride in the
progress of our country in the past several decades. The
affection and plentiful tributes for him by the people of
Luxembourg of the past two weeks will remain for me one of the
greatest and most memorable experiences of my life.
A few weeks ago, when Grand Duke Jean was hospitalised, we all
accompanied and surrounded him. He was the centre of three
generations. Two days before his departure, he thanked those who
cared for him, then he said goodbye to us. Those were his last
words. Once more, he showed the greatness of his soul and his
consideration for others. He died with the feeling of a
fulfilled life.
We, his children and his family, are particularly proud and
happy to have had him as a father.
Thank You, Papa,
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you
have done for us.
Henri
