Prince Amedeo is 7 in line to the belgian throne... When Princess Élisabeth becomes queen , he is at 5th (if you dont count Astrid in).
Then he is quite close to the "throne". But that means that he´s future children will become Princess of Belgium?
The only thing is dont now is Nicolas and Aymeric.. Everybody knows that they wont become King of the Belgians... They arent even close..
But if they have children .. Then they must have a title ..
Perhaps"name" de Belgique- without a title????
Considering that the Duke of Brabant has 4 children eleigible to the Throne, the oldest of whom is 8 and the youngest is only 1 year old, even a 5 position in the Line of Succession is quite far; I don't think Astrid's descendants will become Kings or Queens of the Belgians.
The present law doesn't provide for limits for the title Prince of Belgium (except one, regarding the wives of the Princes, who have to be created Princesses by the King in order to be "HRH Princess her name of Belgium", like Mathilde; if not, they are only "HRH Princess husband's name of Belgium", like Léa). Therefore, if Amedeo or his siblings marries with the permission of the King and have children now, they would be Princes of Belgium. But since a similar case has not happened until now, this is only an hypothesys; it's possible that when one of the grandchildren of King Albert and Queen Paola will marry, the government will change the law.
Will the future grandchildren be included in the line to the Belgian throne?
Yes, they will be in the Line of Succession, if their parents marry with the permission of the King.
