Emmanuel's DJ Instagram account has surged past 10,000 followers since his secret career came to light.
Last month, the young royal surprised fans with two track drops, releasing upbeat tune 'Rio' on June 16, followed by the aptly-named track, 'Palace.'

The songs credit Emmanuel de Saxe as the composer, which is a nod to Emmanuel's full name Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg — as well as his hidden talent as a saxophonist.
The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, was recently able to showcase his musical offerings during a summer garden party the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg hosted at Berg Castle.

Outside of his musical interests, the teen — who is fluent in French, Dutch, and English — boasts an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, which is comparable to a combination of demanding coursework and AP exams.
The prince learned Dutch at the Eureka School in Leuven, Belgium. After successfully completing the course, he is now 'following a language and sports training at an academy abroad,' according to the royal website.
'Emmanuel loves nature and practices the following sports: skiing, tennis, windsurfing and running. He also plays the saxophone,' the site adds.

Indeed, the young royal appears to have taken on a particular interest in sports, having enrolled in a special program at a Spanish soccer academy.
Last year, the teen spent time in Spain training to compete at the highest level of men's professional soccer, known as La Liga or the Primera División, HLN reported.
And it looks as though brains run in the family, as Emmanuel's older sister, Princess Elisabeth, is currently enrolled at Harvard University.

The 23-year-old royal has just wrapped up her first year at the Ivy League school — and recently faced uncertainty after getting caught in the crossfire of President Trump's showdown with the prestigious Ivy League college.
Elisabeth, who also goes by the title of Duchess of Brabant in her home country, was at the risk of being sent back to Belgium as part of Trump's crackdown on international students, which was blocked by a federal judge last month.

Before enrolling at Harvard, Elisabeth earned a history and politics degree from the University of Oxford in England.

Michael Madsen's actress sister Virginia breaks silence on his shocking death: He ‘has left the stage'
Michael Madsen's family are in mourning after the actor's shocking death. His younger sister, actress Virginia Madsen, addressed his sudden passing, shortly after the 'Donnie Brasco' star was found unresponsive by authorities in his Malibu, Calif., home on Thursday, July 3. Michael was 67. Advertisement 11 Virginia Madsen and Michael Madsen at the 'Die Another Day' screening in 2002. Getty Images 'My brother Michael has left the stage,' Virginia, 63, told Variety in a statement. 'He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark.' The actress — known for her roles in 'Candy Man' (1992) and 'Sideways' (2004) — made it clear: 'We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes — gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable — half legend, half lullaby.' Advertisement Virginia ended her heartfelt statement on a personal note. 'I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life — but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't,' she concluded. Virginia and Michael supported each other during their careers, often appearing on the red carpet together at each other's premieres. 11 Michael Madsen and actress Virginia Madsen attend the Miramax Feature film premiere of 'Kill Bill Vol. II.'

AP Besides his legendary film career, Michael was a published poet and has a book, titled 'Tears for My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems,' due out next year. Tarantino wrote in the foreword for the book: 'For me, the real journey that Michael the writer is exploring is what it means to be a man in a world where the notions of manhood that some of us grew up with are barely remembered. But then if everybody embarked on the hero's journey, everybody would be a hero, wouldn't they?' 'Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING on screen presence! My deepest condolences & prayers to his family. #GoneToSoon #RestInParadise,' Fox exclusively told The Post via email. 11 Michael Madsen died on Thursday, July 3 at the age of 67. FilmMagic Michael was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:25 a.m., a representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to The Post.

Michael's team released a joint statement, with his manager, Ron Smith, saying the actor died from cardiac arrest. 11 Michael Madsen and his sister Virginia Madsen at the launch party of 'The Complete Poetic Works Of Michael Madsen.'

'Michael was also preparing to release a new book called 'Tears for My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems,' currently being edited,' they continued. 'Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.' The Chicago-born actor's feature film debut came in the 1983 sci-fi techno thriller 'WarGames,' however, during her four-decade-career, he quickly became typecast as a tough guy — a move he said stemmed from his role as Mr. Blonde in 'Reservoir Dogs.'

He's up there with George Stevens and Alfred Hitchcock, Elia Kazan,' Michael told The Hollywood reporter in 2018. 'Because of that, because of my relationship with him, it became bigger than anything I ever did. And then 'Kill Bill' put the final stamp on that one. It's a great blessing to have that and at the same time, it is really hard to get out of it. And people don't want you to get out of it.' He added, 'It's really hard to break out of that nest once you've built it.' Advertisement Michael is survived by his estranged wife DeAnna Madsen, whom he filed for divorce from in September 2024, his sisters and his remaining children, including 'Divergent' actor Christian Madsen. His son, Hudson, died by suicide in 2022.

Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood Played a Couple on ‘Supergirl,' Then Really Fell in Love
Actors Melissa Benoist (The Waterfront) and Chris Wood (The Vampire Diaries) may have begun as Supergirl co-stars, but they've since become so much more. From going public with their romantic relationship in 2017 to welcoming their first child together three years later, the couple has quickly achieved some pretty important milestones. Here's everything we know about their relationship history. Benoist and Wood first met on the set of her DC Comics series Supergirl, where she played the titular character, Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl). Wood joined the cast in season 2 as Mon-El, Supergirl's love interest. Benoist and Wood were spotted vacationing together in Cancún, Mexico, on March 28, 2017. On June 10, 2018, the new couple made their red carpet debut at the 72nd Tony Awards at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. On February 10, 2019, Benoist announced their engagement via Instagram. She captioned the photo with a simple, 'yes yes yes it will always be yes♥️' The couple got married later that year, on Sept. 1, 2019. Over Labor Day Weekend, they held an intimate wedding ceremony in Ojai, California. Celebrity guests included Paul Wesley and fellow Supergirl actress Odette Annable. A source told E!, 'It was a beautiful setting for a wedding, very peaceful and quiet. The vows were brief and lasted about 15 minutes. There was lots of cheering and applause as it ended.' The source continued, 'There were lots of glowing candles and lights strung above. The food was served family style, and everyone passed the dishes back and forth. It looked like an elegant outdoor dinner party. There was a lot of laughter and happiness.' Later that month, the newly married couple attended the Saturn Awards. On Nov. 15, 2019, Benoist posted an intimate wedding photo of her and Wood embracing with the caption, 'I'm always going to remember looking at you every five minutes on this day knowing both of us were thinking 'how in the world did we get so lucky?' I still don't understand how, but you prove to me every day that I'm one of the damn luckiest out there.' She also included a Dior tag on her white gown. On March 4, 2020, Benoist announced that they were expecting their first child together, writing, 'A non-canine child is coming to our family very soon!!! 😱😆😭 @christophrwood has always been an old dad by nature but now he's going to be a real one!' Wood also posted his own announcement that leaned more on the comical side. In the photo, Benoist is shown caressing his fake pregnant belly. He wrote, 'The photo is a joke but the news is real...!!! 👶🏻🍼🤗.' Later that month on March 20, Wood announced that they were having a boy. He posted a photo of his New Balance sneaker next to a much tinier one. 'My little boy is gonna rock 990s just like his dad, and that makes the world feel a little less sad today,' he shared. On Sept. 25, 2020, Benoist shared the first photo of their baby boy, Huxley Robert Wood. In her caption, she wrote that he was born 'a few weeks ago' and that he was 'everything.' Wood shared the same photo and cheekily wrote, 'Our son was born his name is Huxley he's amazing and no it's probably none of your business xo brb see you in 18 years.' On Nov. 4, 2022, Wood made his Broadway debut as the musician Russell Hammond in Almost Famous. Benoist joined him on the red carpet and shared photos on Instagram. In her caption, she wrote that she was 'so unbelievably proud' of him. Benoist wished Wood a happy Valentine's Day with a sweet photo of them on the beach. Deadline announced that the couple would play co-stars yet again in a forthcoming NBC series titled Duo, written and executive produced by Wood. The project is currently in development. Benoist will also executive produce via her production company, Three Things Productions.
