Are they ashamed to reveal who got infected?
Danish and Norwegian royal families had no such objections concerning repectively to Christian and Ingrid-Alexandra.

According to the VRT one of the younger children of the king and queen is infected.

They added that the Queen will now miss the funeral of her uncle, Count Henri d’Udekem d’Acoz.

So either Emanuel or Eleonore... Elisabeth and Gabriel most likely already left for the UK to start their studies. Hopefully they weren't infected before leaving.

So when we thought the Duchess was in the UK...is she back for the weekend or does she not have to be yet? Gabriel is obviously at school.

Emmanuel has grown so much! He seems to be going the way of his brother, another super tall, broad shouldered young man!
