Yes, shorter haircut, and it really suits her!

Indeed, she was, I'm sorry, I've checked it a minute ago. One shouldn't
trust the captions too often.. If you look at the belga captions of these
pics you'll also find that they called Astrid "Mathilde" today

And I believe, last Sunday, they called Claire "Astrid" (in the title of the coverage/gallery anyway).

One would say these princesses differ enough to be recognizable...

Considering the fact that it's a Belgian agency, that's all
quite shocking

This time the outfit of the princess was unfortunate: that jacket need a one-color dress, that dress looks as an advertisment for chanel (no problem if an actress wear it but she must have an institutional profile and a "princely idea" of fashion should not enphatize trademarks and griffes: chanels make wonderful things also without that exibition of the griffe, as the jacket itself, and you always recognise it is a chanel). Finally, that dress makes pearls useless
