¹Full style: Duke/Duchess of Lothier, Brabant, Limbourg, Gueldre and Luxembourg, Count/Countess of Flanders, Hainaut, Namur and Chiny, Lord/Lady of Malines and Tournai, Marquis/Marchioness of Anvers and of the Holy Roman Empire.
2Full
style of the ruler:
(a) from 21 Jul
1831: Roi des Belges (French);
Koning der Belgen (Dutch; official
from 25 May 1898); König der
Belgier (German; official from 11 Nov
1991)("King of the Belgians"). Under the constitution of
the Kingdom of Belgium there was initially no official
language, but French was legally authoritative; French
and Dutch became official jointly from 25 May 1898,
joined by German from 11 Nov 1991.
A peculiarity of the Constitution of Belgium is the
provision that "[the King] does not ascend the throne
until he has taken the oath." Thus between a demise of
the crown by death or abdication and the taking office
of the next king the provisions for a vacancy or
incapacity take over: "The constitutional powers of the
King are exercised, in the name of the Belgian people,
by the Ministers meeting in Council." The entity acting
as head of state in these circumstances is thus the
council of ministers.
