| abstract | - Reinhardt I (full name: Reinhardt Maarten Hendriks, born 29 September 1988) is the first and current King of the Union of Benelux. Reinhardt I is the first elected monarch in recent history. Due to the merging of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg in April 2011, a monarch could not be chosen from one of the three reigning families in their respective countries. The parliament voted and unanimously found in favor of electing a new monarch. Since the establishment of Benelux, families were able to compete for the title of the royal family, if they met certain requirements. The Hendriks family, of which Reinhardt was the oldest of three children, himself and two sisters, was chosen, and became the House of Utrecht. Out of the three children, Reinhardt was the only who was willing to apply for the position. The Royal Council of Benelux is responsible for training and incorporating Reinhardt and his family into royalty. The style of the King is simply His Royal Majesty, Reinhardt I of Benelux, King of the Union of Benelux. Reinhardt has been dating Giulietta Savoy since the age of 20, who he met at the Sapienza University of Rome while he was studying engineering. He and Giulietta married in Trieste in early July of 2011. Reinhardt and his family live in Tervuren Palace, Flemish Brabant.
