Belgian Car Salesman Becomes Prince After Royal Parentage Confirmed The Belgian royal family has confirmed the paternity of Clément Vandenkerckhove, a 26 year old former car salesman, through DNA testing.
The results have led to Prince Laurent formally recognizing Clément as his son and heir. This development follows an affair between Prince Laurent and Belgian singer Wendy Van Wanten (real name Iris Vandenkerckhove).
Although the extramarital relationship has been extensively covered in the media, Prince Laurent's acknowledgment of Clément has received relatively little attention.
