In accordance with the Order’s Constitution, The Coadjutor, H.E. Chev. Francisco de Borbón von Hardenberg, GCLJ, has become Interim Grand Master until the Chapter General elects a successor Grand Master. We sincerely welcome his leadership.
May his legacy be everlasting and let us all reflect on the Order he always loved.
