Laurent: prins op overschot

It examines why the Salic law was abolished in 1991, allowing women access to the throne. Due to this political decision, Laurent drops from third place to fifth place in the pecking order of the succession. Many observers think that the law was abolished by Baudouin because he knows better than anyone how unruly his nephew is. Laurent's childhood years were therefore particularly turbulent and not very princely. His rebellion is mainly against his family.

Just after his father's accession to the throne, Laurent becomes the most popular member of the royal family. He is the only one in his family who actively seeks out the press. He has star quality and has been the darling of the royalty press for a while. That won't take long. When he is reported critically or ironically, he becomes arrogant and loses popularity.

It zooms in on the women in Laurent's life, such as his mother, who shows up when he is in trouble again. But also his relationship with the singer Wendy Van Wanten and his wife Claire.

Prince Laurent is scornfully called Monseigneur Woef, but his initiative to set up free veterinary clinics for people who are struggling financially is still a success.
