Yes she is.Isn't this the author who claimed that Prince Charles requested a "private showing" from her? I would take what she has written with a huge grain of salt.

Scandal: Princess Claire
She is the ordinary girl who fell in love with a helicopter-pilot prince and married him.
But her position is now uncertain after her husband became persona non grata with his father and was banished from royal circles.
Happily, this isn’t a scandal emanating from Buckingham Palace. For the royal in question is Belgian Prince Laurent, married to British-born surveyor Claire Coombs, 37.
Father-of-three Laurent, 47, younger son of King Albert II, has been in trouble before for his colourful lifestyle and outspoken views.
Branded Belgium’s Prince Andrew, the estrangement started when Laurent visited the Congo and met President Joseph Kabila, but failed to clear the trip with officials.
He was told he would lose his £260,000-a-year allowance if he didn’t toe the line and is not welcome at his father’s residence, the Laeken Palace.
He has also recently been accused of ‘squatting’ in business class on a flight to Brussels while holding economy tickets.

Just thought of another twinkle:
Do our English-speaking posters know that, in French-speaking areas, the Smurfs are known as "les Shtroumpfs" ?
