I don't think they have close relationships with Maria Laura. Her 'scene' is more the nobility of Continental Europe than the Scandinavian royals. Of course, among her close family members are, next to the Belgian royal family, the Luxembourgian royals (through her great-aunt Josephine Charlotte), some Liechtenstein royals (by extension of the previous) and the former royal families of Austria (her father) and Savoy (paternal grandmother), so there will still be plenty of royals left as well.

I have in mind of course Kings' children - children of Presidents are private persons and not obliged to participate in such occasions.

Don't think Maria Laura is close to the scandinavian Royals so i never expected them tomorrow. Probably some luxemburgian, Habsburg etc.

More or less the extended Family on both sides

There must be at the wedding in addition to the Belgian Royal Family, some members of the Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg and the Princely Family of Liechtenstein and perhaps some members of non-reigning royal families, but only close guests of the bride's family.

Oh, yes, I have noticed it now. I was distracted by the guy in the centre. Wonder who that is.
Can this be an indication of the bride's gown having a train? Because if not, what would be the use of practicing with one?
Tomorrow we'll see it all.

I dont't know if they will close the Market Place for the Civil Wedding.
For the Cathedral , 500 persons , they will need many autocars and cars.
King Albert II and Queen Paola are not able to use the many steps. They will need a side door join the family inside .
King Juan Carlos used another side door for Queen Fabiola's Funerals as was directly in the Cathedral.
Funny pictures of the Preparation at the Cathedral.
I am looking forward this happy Wedding.

It seems that Delphine and her husband also attended. I did not see any photos of the children of the King and Queen (yet).

Does anyone know when and where the promised footage from the religious wedding will be made available?
Following the civil wedding, there was a reception for the guests in the Bozar.
https://soirmag.lesoir.be/464621/art...e-sont-dit-oui
The writer of the article speculates that the death of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom may have been one of the reasons why there was no balcony appearance, but the omission of any balcony appearance was already confirmed at the press conference in August.

Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz were the first to marry civilly at the Brussels City Hall as the previous royal civil weddings held in Belgium occurred in the palace (it was mentioned in one of the pre-wedding press conferences).

At the pre-wedding press conferences it was said that the whole royal family, including Delphine, had been invited. In theory that should mean her children are present as well, but has anyone seen them in the photos?

An important reason why the wedding of Belgian Princess Maria-Laura and William Isvy takes place despite the death of Queen Elizabeth: it is considered a private event, not a state occasion. “The couple were very moved by the announcement of her death.”
|
I am not sure an "excuse" is needed as I very much doubt that anyone would have suggested postponing the wedding of British Princess Eugenie of York if the King of the Belgians had died two days earlier. On the other hand, William Isvy is (French-)British and Princess Maria Laura has made her home in the UK for the last decade.
In any event, it is lovely of the royal couple to honor their uncle's fellow monarch.

Very interesting that the Belgian and Spanish royal families have such an unexpected link through a married-in consort and a cadet branch.

The princess looks absolutely elegant. I love her A-line 60's looking dress. And her hair is perfect.
