He inherited a kingdom split three ways by language, then had to hold it together without any real power — the ceremonial job no Belgian asked for but can't quite do without.
Biography
About
Born 15 April 1960 to King Albert II and Queen Paola, Philippe became the eldest in line for a throne most Belgians regard with polite indifference. He married Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz in 1999; they had four children, the eldest being Princess Elisabeth. When his father abdicated for health reasons on 21 July 2013, Philippe stepped into the role: ribbon-cutter, mediator, symbolic glue for a country that can barely agree on a government. His daughter now waits first in line.
