Prince Emmanuel celebrates his eighteenth birthday this Wednesday. For the occasion, the Royal Palace sent us three new photos taken by photographer Bas Bogaerts at Laeken Castle. On one of the three, we see him posing with his father, King Philippe. Emmanuel is certainly the most unknown prince of the royal couple’s four children.

The young man doesn’t make waves but, lately, we’ve seen him a little more. In particular, there was this participation, in the company of Princess Elisabeth, in the Warmathon, a 10 km race to support the solidarity campaign against poverty of the King Baudouin Foundation. Three weeks ago, with Philippe, he attended the Red Devils’ last match against Estonia. Before that, he was seen on a vaporetto, with his father, Princess Éléonore and Amalia of the Netherlands, in Venice. He wore the tuxedo.

Since the summer of 2020, recalls the Royal Palace on the official website of the monarchy, Prince Emmanuel has been studying entirely in English at the International School of Brussels. And this with a view to obtaining an international baccalaureate. He is in his last year while his youngest sister, Princess Éléonore, has just joined him. Remember that, before them, Prince Gabriel had studied in this same private establishment located in Watermael-Boitsfort.

Previously, Prince Emmanuel was educated in Dutch at the Eureka school in Kessel-Lo. He was enrolled there for eight long years. At the time, it was explained that he had been there because he had dyslexia problems. “The Prince speaks French, Dutch and English fluently,” specifies the Palace. Which says a little more about his hobbies. “He loves nature and practices the following sports: skiing, tennis, windsurfing and running. He loves playing the saxophone.”

Adding that the Prince regularly volunteers to support the most vulnerable people. “Thus, during the confinement to curb the coronavirus, the Prince had numerous telephone contacts to support isolated elderly people who reside in rest homes. He has also been involved in youth movements for several years.”
