Princess Astrid & Prince Lorenz - Current Events part 3

[An Ard Ri]

I was wondering where Princess Astrid of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este was as I hadn't seen any duties of late.

I'm getting absolutely no news updates through my Google searches. Just wondering if perhaps we have a TRF member in Belgium who has possibly heard something.

I think in the article posted in post #511 it is mentioned that she is prescribed a period of rest before her trip to Argentina and Uruguay at the end of june, so i don't expect we'll see her in public before then?

It is lovely to see Prince Lorenz on an official engagement once more. While he likely never expected to become a working royal at the time he married, he has always been the picture of a dutiful and discreet prince.
