Interesting spelling of his name - German papers chose a different one - does he use several or does he have one official spelling? I assume it could be an issue in a multilingual country...

French and Dutch spelling are different. We use them both, like with King Boudewijn/Baudouin. He will sign laws in Dutch as Filip, and in French as Philippe.
