"It has always been a matter close to my heart to act as patron of the BMW Advent Charity Concert.
For me, the benefit concert is something very special - an evening that creates hope and provides concrete help for disadvantaged or sick children and young people in Munich.
After 25 years, I am delighted to hand over this office to Duchess Marie Caroline in Bavaria."
