Laurent of Belgium
Prince Laurent of Belgium, born on October 19, 1963, is the younger brother of King Philippe of Belgium. He is known for his involvement in animal welfare and runs a non-profit organization dedicated to this cause. Recently, he has made headlines by seeking legal clarification on his entitlement to social benefits despite receiving an annual allowance of 388,000 euros from the Belgian state. His case raises questions about the principles of social security in Belgium, as he argues that he should be eligible for assistance to cover his medical expenses and ensure his family's financial security.
