[lucien]

There will definitely be no introductory visit to Belgium by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of The Netherlands.Protocol says the shortest Reigning has to visit the longer Reigning "collegue" first,that would do if King Albert was still on the Throne.

Now King Filip has taken up the Reign the new King of Belgium should visit The Hague first.

The date the visit to Belgium was originally planned,october 14th,now is the date King Filip and Queen Mathilde will be visiting Sweden.

A new date for a Dutch visit has not yet been set.

I read the story on RTL. why so much fuss? I mean, it's not like having a false passport, just having an authorized documents with a fake name. but still, it was authorized. it has been done for ages in many countries (the duke and duchess of York - later King George VI and his consort Queen Elizabeth - were known as Mr and Mrs Johnson)

The Savoie abroad are de Sarre.
I studied in Oxford at the same School of Marie Beatrice de Sarre (the King of Italy youngest daughter)
The Habsbourg Duc de Bar.
Prince Lorenz for his work is or Archduke of H , or Prince of Belgium or Duc de Bar
Leopold III , Comte de Rethy etc...
