It's 5:50 a.m. in Brussels right now. The press conference will probably be sometime this morning I would think.

 

[Danielle]

Yes, I should think sometime today. She gave birth last night, so I guess they wouldn't have a press conference then.

 

[suturegeisha]

Aw. Congratulations to the lovely couple!

 

[Marengo]

Great news and congratulations to the couple & to princess Louise. And two boys, as I predicted I believe

Congratulations! Great news!
I hoped it would be boys!
They are really tiny but it's normal for twins.

These names ARE A RUMOR !

http://www.lalibre.be/article.phtml?id=10&subid=90&art_id=256815

"Les prénoms des jumeaux du prince Laurent et de la princesse Claire ont été retirés mercredi dans le courant de la matinée du site officiel de la famille royale, monarchie.be, après y avoir figuré pendant une heure.
Les prénoms, Nicolas et Emeric, avaient été inscrits sur le site internet par le webmaster qui, pris par un "excès d'enthousiasme", s'est fié à une fuite de presse, a expliqué à l'agence Belga le porte-parole du Palais, qui ne confirme toujours pas l'information.
Plus aucune information relative à cette naissance princière n'émanera du palais ce mercredi, a poursuivi M. Malherbe. Le prince Laurent donnera une conférence de presse jeudi et devrait alors dévoiler les prénoms.
Les petits garçons du prince Laurent et de la princesse Claire sont nés prématurément mardi, alors que le terme de la grossesse était prévu pour le mois de janvier."

It is said that the webmaster follows a rumor released by the press, but it has not been confirmed by the Palace yet, and Prince Laurent will give a press conference tomorrow and will certainly give the two names !

So wait and see ...... maybe Nicolas and Emeric, but it's not sure !

 

[seto]

The names are also printed in hello magazine along with the weights.

 

[kil]

Yes but Hello is not the Palace !! still a gossip magazine ... soooo ....
I would wait for the official announcement of the Palace and Prince Laurent press conference tomorrow to know if it's the good names ...
