Welcome to the second current events thread of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien of The Netherlands.

According to 'story' is it possible that laurentien is pregnant...

( I don't think so, because Laurentien 38 years old is)

Why isn't it possible? Women older than 38 have had babies so why can't Laurentien?

Being older certainly means more complications and health risks for Laurentien and a third baby but it doesn't mean it's impossible. Women are living longer and having babies later on in their lives. The medical advancements are far enough that they can detect potential problems or do tests to predict potential problems.

Constantijn and Laurentien's family need not stop only at two kids if they want more, nor should they feel deterred by her age.

According to the Benelux Royals MB Constantijn and Laurentien will go to the wedding of Charles & Camilla.

CP Willem Alexander and Maxima aren´t invited...I´ve to say this is getting really weird. Willem is not invited, Haakon is and will go, and Frederik is too, but won´t go. Whoever has planned the wedding...he/she isn´t the smartest person

[HMQueenElizabethII]

I think it'd be better if Prince WA and Princess Maxima attend the Wedding.

the RVD states that the POO is not ivited to the wedding of the POW. St. James Palace states that the POO IS invited :S
Victoria is invited but declined as well.

Laurentien's dress really does resemble Letizia's red dress worn at Frederick and Mary's wedding. Hmm ... both events took place in Denmark. Maybe red is the colour of choice in Denmark?

I wonder who designed Laurentien's red dress? Does anyone know?

Pfffft, what a terrible acronym. POO. POW sounds so powerful.

Anyways, I think it's interesting that even royal houses get confused regarding mail. I can't imagine where that little wedding invitation may be...maybe floating around in Europe.

I doubt Charles neglected to invite the crown prince couple of the Netherlands- they're more important than Constantijn-the little brother of the CP. Although, it's too late now. Isn't his wedding April 8th?

Isn´t the "frog king" a fairy tale of the brothers Grimm? Well, with a little fantasy you can also interpret "the little Mermaid" into Laurentien´s style :p

Yes, "The Frog Prince", is a Brothers Grimm tale. While I like Laurentien, I think this design is reminiscent of Olivia Newton John's famous black outfit in Grease. I think green suits her though (maybe not exactly this type), and she looks happy, so that is the main thing.

Thanks lots for pics.So lovely Princess Laurentien.
