Dear members,
the turn of the years are like stumbling blocks. Some leap across them lightly, full of joy and fun,
some carelessly without even thinking about it, some confidently and excitedly for all that may come.
Others, however, falter, hesitate, stop. They fear the uncertainty, not knowing what's coming, or they know what's coming and fear it. Others look back in sorrow, having suffered great and small blows of fate.
Some have had beautiful, enchanting experiences, both big and small, and grieve precisely because
they are unique and irreplaceable, because something quite as beautiful will never happen again.
We grow older, things pass, what once was will be no more.
Looking back at the royal year we’ve seen joy (like the births in Sweden, UK and Monaco), sorrow
(the death of the Duchess of Kent), challenges and crises, changes (like in Luxembourg)
but also hope, relief and new beginnings (the recoveries of King Charles and the Princess of Wales).
So, however you master your leap, I wish you strength.
Strength to leap, strength to let go, and strength and joy to embrace the new.
On behalf of the whole TRF Team I'd like to wish you and your loved ones
a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year 2026!
