  List of Belgian monarchs - Biocrawler
According to the Belgian constitution, the king only accedes to the throne when he takes a constitutional oath.
For example, the present king did not become monarch on July 31, 1993 (the day his brother died) but on August 9 of that same year (when he took the constitutional oath).
For example, the current heir apparent is called Philippe in French and Filip in Flemish; the fifth King of the Belgians was Baudouin in French and Boudewijn in Flemish; the three kings who are known as Léopold in French are known to the Flemish speaking Belgians as Leopold (without accent).

In an absolute monarchy, the monarch has absolute power over every aspect of the state, if not of social life in general, and a constitution may be granted or withdrawn, while a constitutional monarch is subject to it as well as any citizen (though it may grant him such privileges as inviolability).
The order of succession in most European monarchical states of the 21st century is by primogeniture, meaning the eldest son of the monarch is first in line, followed by his male, then female siblings in order of age.
Currently 45 nations in the world have monarchs as heads of state, 16 of which are Commonwealth Realms that formally recognize Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state and Prince Charles as heir.

The papers say there is little risk to monarchs from the two main types of BT corn grown because the pollen is not toxic in the concentrations that monarch larvae would encounter in the fields.
She said that while she agreed with the overall conclusion that the main types of BT corn did not pose a risk to the monarchs, she said that the industry's summary of the data, which the E.P.A. had been relying on, contained several misleading statements in support of that conclusion.
"The monarch issue was probably the biggest environmental issue associated with any genetically modified crop thus far, and it seemed appropriate that the public should see the data before the decision is made," she said.
