Death
Louis-Philippe died in Laeken before his first birthday of an inflammation of the mucous membranes. He was buried with the remains of his parents in the royal crypt of the Church of Our Lady of Laeken.
Unlike subsequent heirs apparent to the Belgian throne, Louis-Philippe was not Duke of Brabant; this title was not created for the heir-apparent to the throne until 1840. He was followed as crown prince upon the birth of his younger brother, Leopold, who would later succeed their father as Leopold II, King of the Belgians.
