I sure am glad Baudoin found Fabiola, and got true happiness with her. And what a good influence she was on him. :)
Sorry to pepper you with questions, Cathérine, but was anyone in the family close to Lilian or was she just that difficult to get along with?

I think the only one she always got along with was Esmeralda.
Lilian was a very bright woman, very beautifull, classy, elegant & cultivated; but over ambitous. She certainly didn't know the meaning of the word modesty. She had the beauty and grace of a queen, and loved to parade herself around, but serving her country was not in her book.

Thanks very much. What a pity that with all her attributes, duty to Belgium wasn't one of them.

Prince Alexandre wrote a book (it's more of a photobook actually) on his home, the castle of Argenteuil. He presented it, together with his wife Lea and her two children, Renaud Bichara and Laetitia Spetscinsky.

Did you know that...
... In 2003 Lea Wolman received the golden cross of the Agrupación Español de Fomento Europeo in Barcelona, for her dedication to humanitary projects in El Salvador.

Prinzessin weiht neue Straße ein
Herbesthal
Die Gemeinde Lontzen weiht am Sonntag, dem 8. Mai, die König-LeopoldIII-Straße offiziell ein. Die neue Straße befindet sich in einer Parzellierung, in der bereits einige Häuser gebaut worden sind. Um das Straßenschild würdig einzuweihen, wartete man den 60. Jahrestag des Kriegsendes ab. Das belgische Königshaus wird anlässlich dieser Zeremonie durch Prinzessin Alexandre von Belgien - Tochter aus zweiter Ehe von König Leopold III. mit Prinzessin Lilian de Réthy - vertreten sein.
Um 11 Uhr geht es vom Gemeindehaus Herbesthal zur König-Leopold III-Straße. Nach der kurzen offiziellen Einweihung vor Ort wird ein Umtrunk im Gemeindehaus stattfinden.

Prince Alexandre seems to be the most unknown member of the Royal Family. I am wondering if there are photos of when he was a baby, child, teenager and such?

Yes those photos exist, but they're realted to a very negative time in Belgian history (the war, the wrong choices of king Leopold III, Lilian, exile, the royal question that nearly caused a civil war), so that's why they don't show up very often anymore...
Prince Alexandre has chosen a very discreet life, that's why we hardly ever see photos of him. His wife does a lot of charity and is often seen at parties of the aristocracy - never with her husband, who seems to dislike these kind of events.

If you look under the Princess Lillian thread, there are lots of pics of Alexandre, Marie-Christine and Marie-Esmerelda as babies and children
