Belgium




We'll start with the Royal Family of Belgium. Alphabetically it makes sense, and in four days it will be the 2nd anniversary of King Philippe's reign. Congrats!

The Belgian Royal family dates back to 1830. They went over to absoloute primogeniture in 1991. This means doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, you're first in line. There are currently 14 people in line for the succession (all descendants of King Albert II and Queen Paola the previous King who abdicated in 2013). Click on the names to find out more about them.
