I believe this is old news I believe, I have read it a few times in other papers when she was absent. I don't remember if Laurent ever commented on it (the article below claims that he did), but it was considered the reason for a prolongued absense in 2014: https://nieuws.vtm.be/binnenland/792...ch-stilzwijgen


Laurent's parents must 'thank God on their bare knees' that their son has such a stable and strong wife who is able to put up with his whims and moods. I think it is great that despite the trouble between Laurent and his parents this does not deprive the grandchildren from having a normal relationship with them.

The whole family was seen at Mechelen.
The article of Paris Match was stupid ! it had the front page to be sold.

That was not an official event AFAIK. Princess Claire seemed to have worn normal clothes, so no expensive outfit and no expensive hairdresser were needed .

Good to see that King Albert and Queen Paola are not at all isolated from the family. I bet Claire, Louise, Aymeric and Nicholas have had an amazing and joyful time with grandpa and grandma, sailing around beautiful Corsica.

This were their holidays. Now they are students at the Lycée Français.
