Prince Leopold of Brasland

Prince Leopold of Brasland (born 1992) is the son of King Paul II and Princess Arabella of New Chalcedon.

Although he was born in Brasland, he grew up in Constantinopolis Secundus (New Chalcedon), where his family lived in exile. In 2009 the monarchy was restored and he returned to his homeland. In 2010 he was appointed Governor of the Silver Islands.

Leopold enlisted in the Air Force and was deployed -along the 5th Alps Squadron- to the Falkenthal during the 2012 war against Daytanistan. There, he saw active service and served with distinction. He was promoted to the rank of Captain in 2013, but left the Armed Forces that year to follow his religious vocation. He entered into a Catholic seminary, where he studied for four years, intending to to become a priest. It is believed his decision was influenced by the traumatizing experiences he endured in war, seeing many of his friends killed. He did not finish his studies, as in January 2017 the palace announced that Leopold had left the seminary and would return to civil life.

Before the war, the prince courted his second cousin once removed, Countess Félicité de Vielle. Their relationship ended when he decided to become a priest.
