Prince Laurent of Belgium Biography

Prince Laurent of Belgium is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 19, 1963 in Laeken, Belgium. Defenders counter this claim that there is a tradition in Belgian politics and the Belgian press to focus on the shortcomings of members of the Belgian royal Family. King Philippe, for example, has been pursued because of a lack of dexterity among his advisors. Lilian, Princess-of-Rethy (1916-1902) was also pursued by some deputies, who in her younger years turned parliamentary sessions into discussions about her necklines.

In a corruption scandal involving funds from the Belgian Navy that were spent on Prince Laurent’s Tervuren residence (Villa Clementine), Prince Laurent’s name was exposed in December 2006. While Laurent was not personally involved by the investigating magistrates, some of his accusers have indicted him in the media.

On 5 January 2007, it became known that King Albert II had signed a royal decree, making it possible for Laurent to be called up as a witness in the corruption trial which was to start 8 January. One of the defendants immediately used this to subpoena the prince. During the evening of 8 January, Prince Laurent was interrogated by federal police, appearing in court the following day where he testified at the trial that he had no reason to believe the funding of his renovations could be illegal.

In March 2011, the prince visited the former Belgian colony of the Congo without receiving the required permission; the reported purpose of the visit was to promote awareness of deforestation. As a result, on 9 April he accepted conditions laid down by Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme regarding his future activities; had he not done so, the matter of his annual appanage would have been in question.

Prince Laurent Coombs and Claire Louise Coombs were born in Bath, England but have lived in Belgium since childhood. They were married in Brussels, 12 April 2003. After her marriage, Miss Coombs was also titled Princess of Belgium. They have three children together:

Prince Laurent of Belgium (French pronunciation: Laurent Benoit Baudouin Marie; Dutch pronunciation: Laurens Benedikt Bodewijn Maria; was born on 19 October 1963). He is the second and youngest sons of King Albert II, Queen Paola and King Philippe.

Laurent’s involvement in animal welfare and the environment along with a lack of interest on protocol has led to him being called ecolo-gaffeur by some elements of the Belgian press. He is currently 13th in the Belgian succession line. He was previously as high as third, but in 1991 the constitution was amended to grant equal succession rights to women who descend directly from King Leopold I, the founder of the dynasty. This put him behind Princess Astrid and his descendants.

Media reports in March 2007 suggested that Laurent was no longer welcome at the Royal Palace, possibly due to his role in the corruption scandal.
