Prince Laurent of Belgium has publicly admitted to fathering a secret child with an 80s pop singer, which is the same year he began dating his British wife.
In the latest documentary, the 25-year-old Clement Vandenkerckhove was seen identifying himself as the son of Prince Laurent, who is King Philippe of Belgium’s younger brother. This went on to confirm all rumors that have been rife in local media for years.
He described the exact moment his mother told him the truth about his dad, recalling: ‘She said: ‘Your daddy is a prince. Your dad is that man!’
Prince Laurent himself confirmed the news in a new statement, mentioning: ‘With this announcement, I acknowledge that I am the biological father of Clement Vandenkerckhove. We have spoken openly and honestly about this in recent times.
The news is based on a sense of understanding and respect for those involved. It’s the result of joint consultation. I kindly request that you receive this data with the discretion that the nature of this intimate matter requires. I will not be making any further statements on this or providing any further explanation!’
The news has taken many people by surprise as they were not expecting the confirmation of the speculations in this manner.
