How nice! That's wonderful news!

 

[Maxie]

That's great! Such wonderful news! Congratiulations to the couple!
(I was hoping they would be born in december, as twins are often born before the due date...) Well, now the 2005 royal babyboom is complete!

 

[LaMinka]

Wow! Great new! Congrats! Two boys!.. Wow

 

[elisabetteke]

congratulations to Prince Laurent, Princesse Claire and the big sister princes Louise.

they're born on my birthday, I will never forget that!

 

[pollyemma]

that is absolutely wonderful! Hopefully they'll grow up to look just like their cousin Amadeo

 

[Anna_R]

Congratulations to the couple! Seems like this was the "boy year" for the Belgians!​

Will pictures be released soon as with Emmanuel or Claire and Laurent do things differently?

 

[bigheadshirmp]

congrats!!!!!!! i would love to see the twins in the future few days!~~~!!!!

 

[Emily]

Great news! It is also my daughter's birthday, today! Can someone translate the weight of the babies?

 

[martha-louise]

That's really a surprise!! I guessed that they would come sooner, but that soon ..!
I was a little bit shocked when I read they only weigh 2kg. I hope that's normal for twins.
Now I can understand why Laurent & Claire weren't present at the batism of Emmanuel
Congrats to the happy parents!!

This just tops making 2005 a truly baby year for royal watchers.

Wonderful news.

 

[Anna_R]

Can someone translate the weight of the babies?

That would be around 4,365 and 4,872 pounds and 17,32 and 17,91 inches (feel free to correct me, as I've used an automatic conversor)

 

[California Girl]

Best wishes for the newborn boys and their parents. I am guesstimating that they weigh about 4lbs. each?

 

[LaMinka]

This just tops making 2005 a truly baby year for royal watchers.

Wonderful news.

Yeah 12-13 babys(as I know) has been born! Hashem(?), Leah Isadora, Alexia, Felicia, Emmanuel, Carlos, Sverre Magnus, Leonor, Baby Denmark, Maria Camilla(?) and Clairs twins.. It can be more babys but this what I can remember at the minute

 

[tbhrc]

Congratulations to them. That's really great, I love twins. Friends of mine have twins of 8 months. Soooo cute!!!

 

[lashinka2002]

[Gloriana]

Well, well, well, you leave the computer for a moment...

Seriously, great news! Contratulations to them!

 

[Lena]

Two boys...sounds as if the chance for identical twins is still around. I hoped it would be ones. The birth weight is not bad. It could have been better, but also much worse.
Congratulations to the Belgian Royal family!!

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

It are not identical twins

 

[Lena]

It are not identical twins

Well, most important is, that they are healthy

 

[micas]
