A BOGUS Scots royal has fled to his native Belgium after he was exposed by the Sunday Mail.

Michel Lafosse, who claims to be a direct descendant of Bonnie Prince Charlie, has sold his house in Edinburgh's new town and moved home to live with his mother.

Last month, we revealed that the self-styled HRH Prince Michael of Albany, faces fraud charges over his successful applications for British citizenship and a passport.

He is also under investigation by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). They are probing two charities, the Albany House Trust and the Albany and Stevenson Trust, which raised thousands of pounds in support of his claim to the Scottish throne.

Lafosse, 48, who moved to Scotland 30 years ago, has already lost his British citizenship and was set to be kicked out of the UK.

Followers have deserted him in droves since our revelations in March.

Yesterday a previously loyal supporter, Glasgow care worker and Scottish nationalist Alex Evans said: "We lived the dream and for a long time believed Michel Lafosse was a direct descendant of the House of Stewart.
