Laurent is another kind of father than Philippe I think. I could not imagine that Philippe would walk in front of his children carying some bags without paying attention to them.
Laurent should cary Louise and the nurse the bags....
But ok pictures don't tell us everything of course.

It doesn't mean everything. His daughter is near him and he's very probably carrying bags with things for his twins and his wife.

Congratulations to the Claire, Laurent, and Louise and the rest of the BRF!

In regards to the bags...maybe they are too heavy for the nurse? And are we judging what kind of a father somone might be cause they choose to carry a bag instead of their child? Shame on us!

On page 7 he is carrying his daughter maybe he is just being a gentleman and carrying the bags.

Nieuwe prinsjes heten Emeric en Nicolas

do 15/12/05 - De twee zoontjes van prins Laurent en prinses Claire heten Nicolas en Emeric. Dat heeft prins Laurent bekendgemaakt in het ziekenhuis.

Het zijn dus toch de namen die al waren uitgelekt op de officiële website van het koningshuis. De oudste van de twee heet Nicolas, de andere Emeric.
Het prinsenpaar heeft voor Nicolas en Emeric gekozen omdat ze die namen graag horen en omdat ze niet zo vaak voorkomen.
De prins zei voorts dat het nog onzeker is of het om een eeneiige of om een twee-eiige tweeling gaat.
Voor de peters en meters wil het prinsenpaar mensen die hun kinderen leren openstaan voor de wereld en andere culturen.

 

[martha-louise]

The two sons of Prince Laurent and princess Claire name Nicolas and Emeric. The prince told that the names are choosen because they like them, and because they are rare. He told also that it's not sure yet if the twins are one or two egg.
As godfather and godmother they want two persons who will learn the kids to be open to the world and other cultures.

 

[Beate]

I was very happy to see pics of Laurent and cute little Louise..It was great to see him smiling and being so laid back..I think he gets bad rep a lot and probably is a real nice guy...I have always liked him and Claire...
The names for the boys are quite different, can't say I care for Emeric a lot although my mom's maiden name is Emmerich.. Hey, to each his own!

 

[Empress]

Full Names

Will these two names be the only ones that the children will receive or will there be others? And if so, when will those names be know?
