Prince Floris announced his engagement to Aimée Söhngen on 25 February 2005. The couple were married in a civil ceremony at the Stadhuis in Naarden on 20 October 2005 and in a religious ceremony on 22 October at the Grote Kerk in Naarden. Prince Floris had been 10th in the line of succession to the Dutch throne but decided not to seek parliamentary approval for his marriage, as is required in the Netherlands. This means that Prince Floris ceased to be in line to inherit the throne when he married.
Prince Floris and Princess Aimée are expecting their first child, due in October 2007.
Prince Floris currently works as a policy adviser to the Public Prosecution Service in the Netherlands, having graduated from Leiden University in 2002, where he studied Dutch corporate and criminal law.
Prince Floris is 800th in the line of succession to the British Throne.
