: you write 'during ceremonies'.
: was it an oral announcement, or an official
: document, where king Albert purportedly had
: such princely titles ??

: I wonder whether this is the formula of
: marriage in Belgium, generally (i.e, to
: announce the names of the groom's parents
: too);
: and what will then be done in Belgium in the
: matrimony situation of a guy who is
: illegitimate and name of father is not
: known...
:
: Another disturbing point: the title 'prince
: of Liege' is a title held 'from' the king of
: Belgium, and in the normal protocol, would
: have vanished (= merged to the crown) at the
: accession of Albert to the kingship, because
: the king doctrinarily cannot hold a title
: from himself.
: So, either the Belgian monarchy does not
: observe these subtleties of feudal law and
: usual european royal protocol; or the
: drafter of the things uttered in these
: ceremonies is a pompous person adding titles
: which are unsound, or redundant, or already
: merged.
