PC: Would a Habsburg Second Son Be Able to Keep the Netherlands Together?

So, there being an extra son for Karl V to leave the Spanish Netherlands to is a reasonably common theme on the site. But what I'm wondering is whether said second son would be able to keep the Netherlands (as he inherited it from Karl) together? It's all well and good to envisage this kid as being some great hope, but the truth would be, he'd be just as much of a foreigner to the Netherlanders as Felipe II was (Karl V's younger sons were born in Bologna, Valladolid and Toledo, and AFAIK, the Empress Isabella never set foot in the Low Countries - since usually when her husband went off to Germany, she stayed behind to keep the home fires burning in Spain), not to mention that if Karl V has a surviving second son, he's probably going to be raised in Spain (albeit, maybe in a sort of Dutch bubble) until he's at least say, 10-12yo.

Ergo, he's going to be a foreign ruler coming into rule the Netherlands, probably with very little knowledge of things on the ground? How is that any better than Felipe II's rule of the Netherlands (beyond the fact that the ruler is resident rather than an absentee landlord)
