He is accomplished jazz musician, poet and author.

Nguyen dynasty

In 1987, he escorted the remains of his father Emperor Duy Tân with other members of the royal family to Vietnam in a traditional ceremony to rest in the tomb of his grandfather, Emperor Dục Đức. [http://vinhsan.free.fr/acte%2021.htm]

He currently serves as the Grandmaster (A Officer of the Grand Council [http://www.dragonofannam.com/members.html] ) of the Order of the Dragon of Annam under Prince Bao Thang of Vietnam. The position is non-political in Vietnamese politics and the role of the royal family under the leadership of Crown Prince Bảo Long is for humanitarian, educational, and cultural endeavors of the people of Vietnam.

This is a contrast from the minority political movement of the Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League under the leadership President Nguyễn Phúc Bửu Chánh. The late Crown Prince Bảo Long strongly disagreed with their position and did not lend his support for the return of the Nguyễn Dynasty to power in Vietnam. Prince Bao Vang has extended his help to historically record the history of the royal family of Vietnam for future generations.

Author

In 2001, he wrote a book titled "Duy Tân, Empereur d'Annam 1900-1945" [http://vinhsan.free.fr/acte%201.htm] .
