Belgian Prince's Legal Battle Over Benefits

Prince Laurent of Belgium recently lost a court case concerning his attempt to claim social security benefits alongside his royal allowance.

He argued his royal duties and his animal charity work constituted self-employment, thus entitling him to additional benefits.

However, the Brussels court ruled he doesn't meet the criteria for either employment status, rejecting his claim.

While emphasizing fairness and the law's application to all residents, the prince's legal team is considering further action.
