The New Pretender?

Michel Lafosse (also known as Michael Stuart or 'Prince
Michael of Albany')
Self styled pretender to the Scottish throne, Michel
Lafosse who was born in Belgium claims that he is related by blood to
Bonnie
Prince Charlie. While he has some supporters including some members of
Siol Nan Gaidhael, he is largely seen as a fraud.
The actual heir to the Stuart line is
supposedly Duke Franz of
Bavaria, however Lafosse's supporters believe that his undoubted strong
interest in Scotland and Scottish independence make him a more realistic
prospect. He is known to be a supporter of the republican SSP
and sees himself as a future ambassador for Scotland rather than a ruler.
