Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg on Sunday announced he will start transferring powers to his son Guillaume in October, in a surprise move paving the way for the monarch's abdication.

"I would like to inform you that I have decided to appoint Prince Guillaume as Lieutenant-Representative in October," Henri, aged 69, said in a national holiday address.
