I think she looks very pretty and much younger then picture I saw last year. Whoever is doing her hair and make-up have done a great job. She does look a lot like her mother.
Are there any picture of her and Prince Lorenz from their marriage or early years?

Well, that certainly is a ' creative' necklace . The Princess looks cheerful though, as usual.

Thanks for those pictures iceflower! I didn't know the princess visited The Hague only yesterday.

As posted by Catherine on the BRMB:

Quote:
One of the participants at the Knack weekend ladies run in Kortrijk was princess Astrid (incognito). She opted for the 5 km run with her friends, they finished together after about 35 min. and gave each other 3 kisses

Here are some pictures (also with Astrid in them)

Prince Lorenz is descended from the Austrian imperial family, and from the Italian royal family. Several of his ancestors had claims to thrones all over Europe (France, Spain, Hungary, Bavaria, Saxony...), but I haven't found any reference to British royals.

Any connection with British royals only exists through his marriage, as Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was a nephew of King Leopold I of Belgium. Also, Queen Victoria's mother was a sister of Leopold I.
