1972 - Big Day For The Athlete Prince Prince Phillipe is truly working hard towards becoming a good member of the Belgian Royalty, the son of the Prince and Princess of Liege and second in line to the throne is at present being groomed at a young mans school built within the grounds of an ageing chteau owned by Prince Albert and Princess Paola situated in the district of the Ardennes. On the 15th April of this year, Phillipe will be eighteen years-old. Since being at the school Phillipe has had the chance to develop his athletic aspirations in swimming, rugby, athletics, archery and under water exploration diving. Each weekend, Phillipe is visited by his family, together with his uncle King Baudouin, they discuss his future and the part he must perform as a member of the Royal family. Later for relaxation, the whole family go for walks in the near-by forests and along the country paths just like a normal everyday family without a care in the world.
