Prince Lorenz with children: Prince Joachim and Princess Louise Maria

According to the Spanish newspaper El País, the 28-year-old son of prince Lorenz Joachim confirmed the coronavirus. He was infected with COVID-19, probably in Spain, where he arrived a few days ago. Last week, the prince attended a party in the city of Cordoba, where, in addition to him, there were 26 other people. According to Western media reports, the next day he started to show symptoms of the disease.

On May 24, Prince Joachim, ninth in the running for the royal throne, went to Spain for professional reasons. No other details about the reasons for his trip have been reported. And on May 27, he went to a party, which he probably visited with his beloved Victoria Ortiz (Cordoba is his hometown).

According to quarantine rules in Spain, events are now allowed in the country, which can accommodate a maximum of 15 people simultaneously. Now, all those who were at this party are in quarantine and will be fined up to 10,000 euros. However, in Belgium, they insist that Joachim did not rape anything, because he was only in the company of 12 people.

Prince Joachim is one of the five children of Prince Lorenz and the nephew of King Philippe of Belgium.
