Princess' Marie-Astrid's outfit She looks elegant but not very special indeed. But she is always rather discreetly dressed. But I cannot not believe she did not buy a brandnew outfit?? I have been looking everywhere to find a picture of Marie-Astrid at Laurent & Claire's wedding but without...

I remember that Princess Claire and Prince Laurent were present at a wedding of Aurore (?) Van Gysel de Meise about 2 years ago. And I believe to have seen in Point de Vue that she has got a child meanwhile. Would she be family of this Baron?

On the website of 'Le Carnet Mondain' you will find info on engagements, marriages, births and deaths in noble and prominent families in Belgium. Le Carnet Mondain click on 'carnet du jour'

The more I read about it, the more I think this story is nonsense ("cucumber time"?) And the comparison with the dutch princes who do not receive a dotation and do real jobs I am not sure about either. Would Laurent be able to do a real full time job without dotation from the government? I...

Laurent's dotation Do not forget the 300,000 euros per year is not only Laurent's 'salary' but with this dotation he has to run his office and cover all his professional expenses: all his staff etc. If you take all this into account I do honestly not think this is an awful lot of money. But I...

State visits I have searched the forum and it seems that the hereditary couple does not seem to invite other heads of state for an official visit or attend state visits themselves? Am I correct? And if yes, does anyone know why?

Hervé Thibaut de Maisières

Nanny The nanny in this picture is called 'Fia'. We could see her in the documentary on the crown princely family about 2 years (?) ago which was broadcast both on VTM and VRT. She was waiting outside the Laeken palace with Elisabeth when Gabriel came home for the first time.

I am looking forward to see pictures and footage too, perhaps on vtmonline? I can imagine Princess Mathilde did not want to outshine her sister the bride and therefore dressed very discreetly.

The wedding will be this afternoon at 16.00 hrs in the church of Bastogne (Bastenaken).

Wedding of Countess Elisabeth with Markgraf Pallavicini I wonder too when the wedding will be? I believe on VTM's Royalty there was said at her parents' castle in July 2006? The Point de Vue 3023 of 28 June with the upcoming summer weddings does not mention this either.

I agree, Catherine: elegant, stylish, fresh!

Home of Constantijn and Laurentien I know they live in Brussels. Does anyone know where exactly? Thank you.

I must admit I do find it a bit strange that Princess Claire has been absent on several official engagements in the past months but that she is now feeling well enough to attend a wedding.

I wonder when/where this was announced, by the Palace? I see on the Belgian RF website that Princess Astrid already has an engagement on that day.

Honeymoon Philippe and Mathilde Catherine At the time I remember seeing a picture of Philippe and Mathilde on their honeymoon, on a little boat? Would you be able to find and post it? Thanks:)

I would like to add to this interesting discussion. I do agree with Catherine and would like to add the following. In my humble opinion, I find that Princess Mathilde has what many women would like to have but only very little women really have and this is what I would call 'natural class'. I...

Belvedere and Stuyvenberg Would anyone know where exactly these castles are located? Also the castle of Fenffe. Is this the weekend retreat of CP Philippe and his family now? Thank you.

Girl: Anna, Helena or Sarah Boy: Baudoin, Arnaud or Pierre

I believe Princess Claire was wearing the same coat as she was wearing at the wedding of Felipe and Letizia. I thought is was from Natan? Wouldn't a creation from Olivier Strelli not have been more appropriate? Is there a protocol on these occasions: fashion shows etc.? Thank you

Laurent and Claire engagements Thank you for these lovely photo's. I believe this gala was not mentioned on the official website of the Belgian RF. I have the impression that the diary mentions most if not all official engagements of the King and Queen, Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde...

Mathilde's sisters Does anyone know if Mathilde's sisters Elisabeth and Helene have a boyfriend?

Hello, where could I find photo's and info of the wedding of this lovely couple?
