Glad to see Queen Fabiola out and about and nice to see Marie Astrid and her family attending the requiem too. I wonder if Margaretha and Nikolaus of Liechtenstein will join them too next year. Their son is buried at the royal crypt.
 
Are you sure the little Prince leopold of Liechtenstein is buried in Belgium ?

Yes. There´s a very detailled royal blog with a description of the royal crypt.
Royal Travel Blog: Royal Crypt Laeken


There you can see the memorial stone in front of his grave.

I think it was Queen Fabiola who offered Margaretha and Nikolaus of Liechtenstein a place in the royal crypt after the tragic death of their son.

:unsure:I really wonder why Princess Claire's parents viz. Princess Louise's maternal grandparents Nicole and Nicholas Coombs didn't attend the First Communion...Their house is even located near the St. Catherine Church of Bonlez as a reader of the blog "L'actualité des royautés" mentioned in his comment: L'actualité des royautés
 
Louise stole the show ; no word of the other children doing their first Communion. I know people living in Bonlez who came to see the King !.
L' abbé Gilbert is always there when he can be seen on TV.
 
No l'abbé Gilbert happens to be a friend of Laurent and the Royal family !
 
The Princess didn't wear white or a veil?

In Catholic Ireland all girls making their First Holy Communions wear a white dress & veil .

Maybe the tradition differs in other countries?

I am very happy to see the entire family and my favorite queen Fabiola of Belgium, I liked her very much in the years 60 70 , she is yet my favorite member of the royal family of Belgium. I like this family and also the couple Philippe and Mathilde and their lovely children but I remembered when King Baudoin and Queen Fabiola was married and I hoped so much they have children. Now Queen Fabiola is 83 and I like her yet and I wish to see her many times, she is a lovely old lady and I like these meeting where we can see all the family.

Normally Prince Laurent and Princess Claire attended.
We have to wait until November 15th.
 
Also Prince Philippe didn't attend the concert; is it known why did he miss it?
