VTM Documentary Reveals How Prince Laurent First Met Acknowledged Son

Clément’s account points to a cautious, private introduction to the family.

Overview

  • In the film, the 25-year-old describes intense nerves before the reunion and uncertainty over how to greet his father.
  • He says Laurent phoned just before the meeting to check on him and ask if he had arrived, which heightened his anxiety.
  • The meeting’s location was not disclosed, though Belgian outlets suggest it likely took place at Villa Clémentine.
  • Princess Claire has made no public comment, with Belgian and British media reporting she is deeply affected by the development.
  • Director Wim De Smet says Claire knew of the broadcast and was present in the background during the father–son call, and no legal changes or titles have been announced as coverage stresses a quiet, private integration.
