Finally! A picture of Prince Laurent smiling. Every other picture that has been posted, he seems to be bored or annoyed. I am glad to see a picture of him smiling and happy. Little Louise is adorable and looks like she is wondering what all the fuss is about?
Thanks for posting pictures. I do so love to see them. Your efforts are apppreciated.

Mette2 -- thank you so much for the additional shots of the Duke and Duchess of Brabant with Elisabeth. Not only is PM's cardigan very pretty but Elisabeth has a beautiful coat -- lovely and warm looking!

from belgapic :
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM : Michael Lerois-Anderson, employee of Wittamer pastry, presents a cake, Wednesday 14 December 2005, at the Saint-Luc Universitary hospital near Brussels, aimed at Princess Claire of Belgium, the British-born wife of Prince Laurent, who gave birth to twin boys Nicolas and Emeric on Tuesday one month before term. The twins, reported by the palace to be in fine health, have a sister Louise who was born on February 6, 2004.



hmm...the cake looks delicious... perfect to taste after giving birth to twin...
i see a british flag on the cake...

So if one of the sons name is Emeric (if the rumor proves to be true)....how do you pronounce that. Is it Emer-ic? Or E-mer-ic? Sorry if I totally hacked up pronouncing it, but I was just wondering. :)
If those names prove to be true....they are very nice.

Thanks everyone for the photos. I have to say, I just adore the names Nicolas and Emeric - Emeric especially. The names both have such lovely 'rings' to them.

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!
