History |
The death of King Baudouin in 1993 caused a short period of uncertainty about the succession. Prince Philippe was the expected to be the next king; but Baudouin's brother Albert became the new monarch.[2]
Since 2009, Belgian law identifies the eldest child of a Belgian monarch the royal heir. The first-born child follows his or her parent on the throne.[3] This is known as full or equal primogeniture.
In 2013, Albert abdicated for health reasons and his son, Philippe became the King.
