Born the maverick of the royal family, Laurent has already led a tumultuous life. But in addition to being somewhat of a loose cannon, Laurent is also an animal activist, an art lover and a philanthropist.

​

The series highlights different aspects about Laurent's life. The series is not just limited to Laurent's story, but looks for similarities between Laurent and other members of the Coburg family and dynasty. As such, the series goes beyond mere biography.

​

Prince Laurent is portrayed with respect, but does not shy away from anything. The series features 24 witnesses: close friends, acquaintances of the king, (former) politicians and journalists. There are both royalist witnesses and republican interviewees.

Jan Van den Berghe and Mario Danneels are the window narrators on duty. Ex-law street journalists Gui Polspoel and Luckas Vander Taelen take on the role of critical, republican columnists. Intimi of Laurent are Professor of Canon Law Werner-Édouard de Saeger van Nattenhaesdonck, Renée Haferkamp who knew Laurent when he was an intern with Karel Van Miert at the European Commission, former classmate at Zevenkerken Dominique Desimpel and Laurent's host parents when he attended school at Pius X College in Wilrijk for three years. They speak for the first time on television about their bond with Laurent.
