Liam was not born the heir apparent; his paternal half-brother [[Prince Leonardo, Duke of Cordonia]], was the heir apparent until a court ruling in 2002 from the Royal Supreme Court of Skavand annulled the marriage of their father Constantine to Princess Matilda posthumously due to infidelity. Upon the ruling which came into affect on January 1, 2003, Liam became the heir apparent to the Skavandian throne. Due to constitutional limits, Liam did not receive the title of Prince of Skavand, the title for an heir apparent, until he became a legal adult at nineteen in 2008. Reportedly, Prince Leonardo was happy to give up his position as future king to Liam despite the negative publicity following revelations of his mother's affair. A ceremony was held to celebrate Liam as heir apparent on 17 January 2003 at Applewood Manor.
Liam was not born the heir apparent; his paternal half-brother [[Prince Leonardo, Duke of Cordonia]], was the heir apparent until he abdicated from the line of succession after dating American market researcher [[Jennifer Dunham Sloan]].
