A car salesman has formally become a prince at the age of 26 after being formally acknowledged as the son of the Belgian King’s brother Prince Laurent.
The formality affords the new prince equal inheritance rights to [Prince] Laurent’s private estate with his half-sister Princess Louise, 20, and half-brothers Prince Nicolas, 20, and Prince Aymeric, 19, children Laurent shares with Princess Claire whom he married in 2003.
But he will not receive a royal allowance, nor will he be expected to take on official duties, and he has no rights to the Belgian throne.
