Liam (Liam David Israel;[fn 1] born 6 August 1989) is the King of the Cordonia and its nine duchies since his accession in 2021.
Liam was born at Euler House as the second child of King Constatine and Queen Eleanor. He was educated at the Cheam School in England, the same school as Charles III of the United Kingdom. Liam later studied at the Sorbonne University in Paris, earning a bachelor of science in chemistry in 2010. He later served as a director on the board of Bayer in his capacity as a private citizen from 2010 to 2012.
As a member of the Cordonian royal family, Liam has been serving in an official capacity since 2013 while Prince of Cordonia. He undertakes duties on behalf of the monarchy 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 Nobel Peace Prize.
During the 2021 social season's Applewood Manor ball, Liam announced his engagement to The 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 Vanessa Lopes, the King ended his engagement with the Countess of Fydelia. Six days later on 19 May, Liam ascended the throne and became King of Cordonia, succeeding his father King Constantine The King Father. Subsequently he proposed to Lady Lopes but she declined and instead betrothed Sir Drake Walker.
Liam is currently the youngest incumbent monarch in the world. He occasionally has faced republican sentiment following the attempted coup d'etat during the wedding of Lopes and Walker, but is ranked the most favorable and most trusted Cordonian 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. He has repealed the royal decree that reduced the number of working royal family members that his father instituted following a 1993 attempted coup d'état–allowing several of his extended family members to become public and working royal family members–further expanding and improving the public image of the monarchy that diminished under his predecessor.
Liam married the Duchess of Lythikos in 2022 and have two identical twin daughters: Lena, Princess of Cordonia and Princess Elsa, Duchess of Lythikos.
Early life, education, and early adulthood (1989–2010)
Liam was born at Euler House in Brighton, Cordonia, during the reign of his father King Constantine I and mother Queen Eleanor, on 6 August 1989 at 16:25 UTC+02:00. He was born His Royal Highness The Prince Liam David Israel.[fn 1] He was baptized in the Applewood Manor on 1 September 1989. As a member of the Skavandian royal family, Liam was raised primarily at the Skavandian Royal Palace in Cordonia and spent his summers at Applewood Manor and winters at the Lythikos Esate in Lythikos Duchy. Him and his family was close to the Nevrakis family and was best friends with Olivia Nevrakis, Duchess of Lythikos. He was also raised knowing the Beaumont family and Walker family, later becoming best friends with Lord Maxwell Beaumont and Sir Drake Walker.
As it was customary for children of the royal family to be taught in the home, Liam was taught by a governess who undertook his education between the ages of five and ten. After he turned ten, Applewood Manor announced that Liam would attend a public primary school, making him the first royal child to attend a public school. On 12 September 1999, Liam commenced his education at King Kirk Primary School in west Brighton. Though he was a member of the royal family, his parents ensured he did not receive preferential treatment and was afforded the opportunity to have a normal childhood, unlike his older paternal half-brother Prince Leonardo, Duke of Moselle who was the heir apparent to the throne. After attending primary school, he started to attend Cheam School in Hampshire, England, and would visit his family every weekend as his parents were concerned the prince would be homesick. He attended from 2003 to 2007.
Liam was not born the heir apparent; his paternal half-brother Prince Leonardo, Duke of Moselle, was the heir apparent until he abdicated from the line of succession after dating American market researcher Jennifer Sloan.
In 2023, it was discovered that the King and Duke of Moselle have a sister, Princess Lena-Marie, The Lady Westinghouse, who was raised by Queen Sigrid of Vallenheim. She is the daughter of King Constantine The King Father and Queen Eleanor. She was given to the care of the Queen of Sigrid by Queen Eleanor to protect her from the multiple attempted coup d'états. It was also reported that Eleanor was seeking a divorce from Constantine and that she suffered from paranoia at the end of her life–believing that Constantine's enemies were out to kill the Cordonian royal family–resulted in her protecting Lena-Marie. Lena-Marie was born in Vallenheim and was given the title Duchess of Runarsdottir, though she was never legally adopted by the Queen of Vallenheim.
