'''Liam''' (Liam David Israel;{{refn|group=fn |name=sur}} born 6 August 1989) is the King of the Commonwealth of Skavand and its twelve duchies since [[Accession of King Liam|his accession]] in 2021. 

Liam was born at Euler House as the second child of [[King Constatine The King Father|King Constatine I]] and second grandchild of King Cornelius and Queen Evelynne. He was educated at the [[:wikipedia:Cheam School|Cheam School]] in [[:wikipedia:England|England]], the same school as [[:wikipedia:Charles, Prince of Wales|Charles III of the United Kingdom]]. Liam later studied at the [[:wikipedia:Sorbonne University|Sorbonne University]] in [[:wikipedia:Paris|Paris]], [[:wikipedia:France|France]], earning a bachelor of science in chemistry in 2010. He later served as a director on the board of [[:wikipedia:Bayer|Bayer]] in his capacity as a private citizen from 2010 to 2012.

As a member of the Skvadnian royal family, Liam has been serving in an official capacity since 2013 while Prince of Skavand. He undertakes duties on behalf of Commonwealth and serves as a patron and member of twenty organizations, including Ryan Holdings. As a patron, the King has traveled to more than fifty countries promoting environmentalism, the study of chemistry, women and youth rights, domestic violence awareness and mental health advocacy. He has earned awards and recognition for his work in these fields, including receiving a [[:wikipedia:Nobel Prize in Chemistry|Nobel Prize in Chemistry]].

During the 2021 social season's 2021 Applewood Manor Ball, Liam announced his engagement to [[Madeleine, Countess of Fydelia]] on 13 May. After it was discovered that the [[Lopes–Al Saadi scandal]] was a set-up to discredit the public image of [[Lady Riley Lopes]], Countess Beaumont, the King ended his engagement with the Countess of Fydelia. Six days later on 19 May, Liam ascended the throne and became King of Skavand, succeeding his father [[King Constatine The King Father]]. A week later, he announced his engagement to Lady Riley; he met her while at his first bachelor party in [[:wikipedia:New York City|New York City]] and subsequently courted her since. The couple married on 1 July 2021 and had their first daughter, [[Princess Eleanor]], in 2022.

Liam is currently the youngest incumbent monarch in the world and the first Skavandian monarch to share his constitutional power with his wife and queen consort Riley. He occasionally has faced republican sentiment following the [[2021 attempted coup d'etat in Skavand|attempted coup d'etat]] on his wedding day, but is ranked the most favorable and most trusted Skvandian monarch since the monarchy was established. The King has received consistently high support for his reforms to the monarchy to bring it into line with culture, times and technology of the 21st century.
