thank you very much for the picture. Princess Maria Laura becomes more of a young woman every time I see her in pictures. She looks so beautiful in this one and I love the way her hair is done.

[Shikha Pal]

I agree with Elisabetteke.

Flemish (Dutch)

thank you very much stephanievl for the video.
I never heard Princess Maria Laura speek. Her Dutch is qiuet good, only she still has a little French accent (but maybe that's also because it's more 'chique'). I already said sometimes that she looks a lot like her mother and in this video it's even more clearer. She moves her head like her mother and has the same facial expressions like her mother.

When Maria Laura talks to Karl Lagerfeld, he says that her mother wrote a nice letter to him. He also tells her to send his regards to her mother and that Caroline of Monaco only speaks positive about Princess Astrid.

Isn't that rather ironic... But good to know that it isn't beyond a grand lady like Caroline of Hannover to gossip about the Gotha

Maria Laura on the first row during party for queen Fabiola

There was a time that Maria Laura the oldest daughter of princess Astrid was in the back, hidden on pictures of the royals family. ..

On the birthday party of queen Fabiola (80) was she now on the first row. Between the traditional dressed royal family she was noticed with her white sport shoes. The princess, who will become 20 in august, feels herself totally relaxed on the first row.

Royalty watchers call her “a new person” since she in the beginning of this year during a show of Karl Lagerfeld was –again on the first row- shining. After the show she even gave interviews about the designs in Dutch and French.

She also is not afraid of dressing “sexy”. On the evening of the “Koningin Elisabethwedstrijd” she was wearing a black dress who was very open, you would even see her bra.

On the Party of queen Fabiola, it was her necklace that draws the attention. It could be a Chinese souvenir, because Maria Laura studies sinology at the ‘School of Oriental and African Studies’ in London” She also stayed several months in China.

Another picture of the princess at the Queen Elizabeth Contest, final concert.

translation:

Princess Maria Laura goes sexy

Princess Maria Laura (19) seems to have blossomed. The shy teenager has completely disappeared. Princess Astrid' oldest daughter is regularly noticed during public appearances of the royal family.

She accompanied king Albert and queen Paola to the final concert of the Queen Elizabeth Contest. The ideal scenery for a dazzling Maria Laura, who claimed all attention in an airy, white summer dress.

i think its great that she's finally emerging on her own.....earlier all the attention went to her brother....everyone considered him to be the looker of the family(well he is anyways....among the men atleast) but now people are seeing her finally emerge from her cocoon.....and she turned out terrific
