Principality of Monaco – 22 Nov 2025

Coronation Greetings of Our Prince Antonio V

Prince Antonio V.
President of the Council of the Realm, Dame Marianne Paine, Duchess of Angol.
Chancellor, Dame Nina Saleh Ahmed, Duchess of Neuquén.
Dame Annette Montague Tomás, Baroness of Quetrequil.
Relatives of our Prince.
Ancestral Authorities of the Mapuche People.
Friends of our Royal House.

I address these words in recognition of our Prince Antonio V.

Along with this tribute, I wish him success in the performance of this magnificent task, of the continuity of our Reign, but also for his active defense of the indigenous peoples of Argentina and Chile, particularly the Mapuche people. The Chilean state has recognized 11 indigenous peoples according to Indigenous Law No. 19,253.

The central axis of our commitment must be the defense of the good life of our people, maintaining and recovering their territory and natural resources, thus ensuring their existence.

Where the State of Chile assumes the commitment to ensure respect for the rights that have been historically denied and violated.

Today marks three years and six months of military occupation in the Araucanía region (Wuallmapu). The communities live in a permanent state of violence, with raids on their homes, usually very late at night, with little regard for children, mothers, and the elderly.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to celebrate this historic day that will remain in the collective memory of those who are here today and will be a day of remembrance for all of us.

It is an honorable date for me to express to you, Prince Antonio V, my consideration, and you can count on my absolute loyalty.

Long live the Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia!
Long live the Mapuche people!

Chev. Domingo Paine – Duke of Angol
Vice-President of the Council of the Kingdom
