Saturday will be the first Place Royale show of 2025. And what is certain is that the year will be busy for the crowned heads.
This Saturday, Place Royale will broadcast its first show of the year 2025. And the news from crowned heads is likely to be very busy, including several major events.
“During the month of January, we should know the verdict of the lawsuit that Prince Laurent brought against the Belgian state. Then, more joyfully, in Monaco, Stéphanie will celebrate her 60th birthday in February. Albert II will celebrate his 20 years of reign on the rock. This year, there will also be a great jubilee to be planned in Sweden, on the occasion of the 50 years of reign of King Karl Gustav. But the event closest to us and unmissable will be the abdication to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, since the heir couple Guillaume and Stéphanie will become Grand Duke and Grand Duchess on October 8“, explains Alix Bâtard, presenter of the show.
2025 will also be a special year for three grandchildren of Albert II. Indeed, Prince Emmanuel and Prince Laurent’s twins will celebrate their 20th birthday. As for Philippe and Mathilde, two big trips are planned for them. First of all, a humanitarian trip for Queen Mathilde to Costa Rica in February. And then a state visit to Vietnam in April.
Tomorrow’s show will also focus on the new generation of crowned heads. “This is perhaps the generation that has the most surprises in store for us. We have already followed them a lot in 2024 in our shows. And this evening, in Place Royale, you will see or see again who truly embodies this next generation. Who are the heirs, the most prominent heirs? How are they prepared to rule? (…) In our country, the one who best embodies this new generation is Princess Elisabeth. It is taken as a reference throughout royal Europe. In 2025, we hope to be able to follow it further“, concludes Alix Bâtard.
Catch your show Place Royale tomorrow evening, from 7:50 p.m., on RTL tvi and streaming on RTL play.
