Comment on Belgian car salesman becomes prince after DNA test proves royal parentageparent

His ancestors murdered and stole a whole lot for him to gain that priviledge.

Leopold II had millions and millions murdered in the Congo to make himself rich with rubber, but he wasted it all and in the end the Belgian people had to bail him out. No fortune to get from him.

Wasn't Leopold's line voluntarily offered the throne?
