Dylan, brother of the recently revealed son of Prince Laurent of Belgium, spoke candidly about the decades of secrecy surrounding his half-brother’s parentage, stating the silence has caused widespread damage. The revelation,detailed in a new documentary broadcast by VTM,has brought a long-held family secret into the public sphere,prompting reflection on the consequences of concealment.
For years, the existence of Prince Laurent’s son was known within a small circle, but remained hidden from the public and, reportedly, from much of the Belgian royal family. The documentary offers a platform for both the son and his mother to share their story, and Dylan’s comments underscore the emotional toll the secrecy took on those closest to the situation. He intends to channel his feelings into music, hoping to reach others who have experienced similar pain.
“It means that my uncle is the king of Belgium,” Dylan shared,reflecting on the implications of the revealed lineage. He believes open interaction is crucial, stating, “do not live in secret, simply say things as they are, and you will have finished it right away. This can save so much suffering.”
Dylan was aware the documentary would disclose the truth and plans to use a poem he previously shared online as the foundation for a song. He hopes his music will resonate with his half-brother and others affected by hidden truths, advocating for honesty as a path to healing.
