the youngest brother of

the current ruler, Léopold's uncle, the reigning Grand Duke Henri.

As of 2008, Léopold stands, in the line of succession to Henri, behind

Henri's son, the Hereditary Grand Duke (and potentially any descendants he should have),

Henri's other four children (and potentially their descendants), (but due to his other uncle's renunciation (for his line) of the succession, neither that uncle nor that uncle's descendants),

his own father, and

his older brother, Prince Paul Louis of Nassau (and potentially any descendants he should have).
