They are third cousins; both great-great-grandchildren of Prince Charles de Lannoy (1828-1901) & his wife Emma du Parc (1843-1202):

Charles de Lannoy was'nt Prince, but Count as well.
The Lannoy Family refused the title of Prince proposed in 1930 by King Albert the 1st.
Count Pierre-Alexandre de Lannoy and countess Stephanie de Lannoy are contemporary cousins.
Count Pierre de Lannoy is the great child of Philippe Piers de Raveschoot (the Flemish painter), from the "Knokke-Zoute Company" co-founder family (with Lippens family)
