Prince Charles of Luxembourg (Charles Jean Philippe Joseph Marie Guillaume; born 10 May 2020) is the heir apparent to the Luxembourgish throne as the elder child and son of Grand Duke Guillaume V and Grand Duchess Stéphanie. He was born at Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg City. His birth was celebrated by a 21-gun salute at Fort Thungen in Kirchberg.[2][3]
On 19 September 2020, Prince Charles was baptised at the Abbey of St. Maurice and St. Maurus of Clervaux in Luxembourg. His godparents are his maternal aunt Countess Gaëlle de Lannoy and his paternal uncle Prince Louis of Luxembourg.[4]
On 3 October 2025, Charles became heir apparent in line with his grandfather's abdication and the accession of his father as Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Although he is first in the line of succession, he is due to receive the title of Hereditary Grand Duke only upon reaching the age of 18 in 2038.[5]
