Looking from pictures, they are very close! Although, Marie-Astrid and her family live in Brussels, so we only see them together officially on holidays and birthdays.

They haven't gone on holiday together for a few years now, though.

Gabriella is the youngest daughter. The eldest daughter's name is Marie-Christine.

There are a lot of girls with the names Marie- and Maria- in this family!

You know what, you're right. *smacks head on desk* It's Princess Margaretha and Prince Nikolaus who live in Belgium.
I'm sorry! I got the two sisters mixed up. :o

And some of the boys have the middle name of Marie, too.

Doesn't the Marie and Maria go back to the great empress Maria Theresa whom named almost all her daughters Maria?

Actually, the name Marie or Maria is in honor of the Blessed Virgin of Catholicism- Jesus' mother Mary. In French speaking Catholic countries children are generally given the name Marie, while in German speaking countries it's Maria. This is why you see all the boys running around with "Marie" as one of their middle names- to honor Mary.

They arrived in the same car as the Queen, Marie Astrid hugged Haakon and Mette-Marit before going to the tribune, they said on TV they were there as guests of the King.

Here are some pictures, not very good

For this family, any pics are decent. They hardly ever get photographed.

Yeah. The Archduke and Archduchess are just as elusive Max and Angela of Liechtenstein.
