September 9. Prince Laurent (61) sends a message to the Belga news agency, with which he turns the country upside down in one fell swoop. The Royal admits that he is the father of Clément (25), the youngest son of Wendy van Wanten (65). This puts an end to the years of speculation about the bond between the prince and the singer, and the many questions that accompanied it.
No silence, a real bond with Prince Laurent and a remarkable dream: the most striking moments from the second part of ‘Clément, son of …’
Although one man was less surprised when that confession followed, it turns out. In a conversation with Nostalgia presenter Véronique De Kock, Johan now admits that he caught two years ago. That happened after recordings of the music box, the VRT program that passed expired between 1995 and 1999. For example, the former host talks about the ‘s Graevenhof in Schilde (where Johan and a lot of artists spent the night after the recordings, ed.)and the special meeting that he witnessed. “I wanted to drive away, but had seen Wendy van Wanten’s car in the parking lot the night before,” said Johan. “Then I thought,” Ah, she will sleep here. “And while I go to my car, I see that there is a Porsche next to her car.”
Face recognition
When Johan gets in his car, something completely different happens on the Porsche. “I see one there poep Let out, and with her leg … and I see a close kiss, a hug – and I recognize the face of Prince Laurent. She (Wendy, red.) Turns her around, and she is shocked that I am there … Normally, when she saw me, she never stood with her mouth full of teeth. ”
VTM paid Wendy and Clément for Docu: “You should not forget that a lot of time is crawling in it”
Echterken kept that special moment secret for years. “I consciously kept silent,” it still sounds. “If we say something is private, then we keep it private. I still think Wendy is a sweetheart, and it could have been a clean couple.”
On 24 October Johan Verleeken brings ‘the music box’ back one more time during the 90’s party of nostalgia. Tickets can be purchased via nl.nostalgie.be
