When was the last time Claire appeared in public acts?
Is she still sick?

Here in Belgium we don't know and it's nice that the journalists respect her (and their) privacy in difficult moments.

But Laurent has been extremely publicly ill, and has also complained about not being entitled to health insurance with Claire being ill. Why is Claire entitled to more privacy?
They don't have to say exactly what the matter is, but just "she is continuing to receive medical treatment" or "she is at home continuing to recover and everyone's kind thoughts are appreciated", or some kind of update would be a bit more enlightening. Also Claire is a nice woman and people like her and are no doubt getting worried at this point.
They're not private citizens. They have measures of privacy but not complete secrecy.

Perhaps we will see her as before when King Albert and Queen Paola are on holiday on their "ALPA"

So she's well enough to go on holiday but not to go out with Laurent on public acts every once in a while?

Didn't she stop attending most things after there were some troubles with Laurent's dotation? At the time I believe it was said that Laurent's logic was that if you pay him less money, you only get to see half of the team. And it would mean some economizing as they would not have to buy expensive gowns, hairdressers etc. any longer. That was the story in 2018 at least.

Yes, that's what I remember reading as well. With his reduced appanage, Laurent no longer wished to pay for Claire's wardrobe & hairdresser for royal appearances...
I hope Claire is well, she seems like such a lovely woman!

That would indeed make a great deal of sense as of 2018, but given that we know Claire definitely had Covid on top of dealing with something else (?) and she hasn't been seen doing much of anything (not just engagements), it seems less like Laurent-logic at work and more like something may not be okay.
Conversely, if Claire is perfectly well and healthy, why don't we know that?

I think she isn't yet. Some illnesses can last years to be cured. All I know is that I wish her the best?

So the rumours about Laurent and Claire seem to have gone to the press as of today. Laurent denies they are separated.
Is there any real substance there?

I have no idea, but it is not the first time that rumors of marital difficulties between the prince and his wife have reached the press.

I knew Abbé Gilbert looked familiar he seems to be quite close to Laurent and Claire over the years.
