Eloise, Claus-Casimir and Leonore, News and Pictures 2: 2023 -

[Somebody]

Laurentien seems like a supportive mother, but maybe a bit tone deaf when it comes to guiding her children toward more dignified, less controversial choices.

Eloise is 21 years old, so it could very well be that her parents (I don't think that responsibility only lies with her mother) are nudging her towards different choices in private in some areas (while they fully approve of others), however, in the end it is up to Eloise to decide for herself.

The MyLimaLima seems a shared initiative by Laurentien, Eloise and Thomas Latcham. On their website Laurentien is presented as the 'idea founder' with Eloise and Thomas as the co-founders. So, it seems that Laurentien came up with the idea and Eloise and a friend liked it and are now running it.

Edit: The FAQS confirm that it was indeed Laurentiens idea and she approached both Eloise and Thomas.

My Lima Lima was invented by Laurentien van Oranje out of frustration and awareness. A deep frustration that charities often lack hand money so that they cannot or cannot give people generous, dignified and trusting support, while they know that this is precisely what can bring about so much positive things. And during corona times she became more aware of clothes she no longer wore. She started reading about it and learned that this is the case with about 71% of people. All those valuable things that hang in (too) full cupboards while so much good can be done with them! All unused 'capital'! What if she would not only take a critical look at her own closet, but also encourage others to donate their most beautiful clothes that are not (longer) worn to support charities in a way that is not yet happening?

Laurentien discussed the idea with design expert Thomas Latcham, with whom she has worked for a long time, and her enterprising daughter Eloise, who has a great passion for sustainable fashion. In January 2023, they tested the idea among customers of the renowned clothing store Hardies in The Hague. In the following weeks, many women immediately brought all their beautiful garments to Hardies, which immediately became the first Hub. The Kids Rights and Everyday People foundations also endorsed My Lima Lima's vision on donating.

When the opportunity came up to open a first space, Laurentien, Thomas and Eloise took the leap of faith. A unique concept took shape through a collaboration of three mission-driven social entrepreneurs, each with their own strengths and roles. Thomas and Eloise focus on expanding the store concept and Laurentien on the philanthropic side of My Lima Lima.

For those considering shopping at My Lima Lima; they are open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Laurentien and Eloise are among the volunteers that will be in the 'space' to sell items (they refuse the use the word store).

Eloise may be 21, but I imagine that her parents have considerable influence over her, especially her finances. Besides, she has been making poor -- or at least undignified -- choices for several years, going back to when she was a teen.

I agree with you about the need for both parents to influence her, but my comment was noting that Laurentine seems far more involved in Eloise's "adventures" than Constantijn does. (This store is a good example.)

Eloise says she has been enjoying her 'last days' in the Netherlands. She will be going to the United States to do an internship in New York. He friends organised a goodbye party.

Eloise geniet van 'laatste paar dagen' in Nederland: 'Zo gek'

Eloise van Oranje (21) is nog even volop aan het genieten van Nederland. Binnenkort vertrekt de dochter van prins Constantijn (54) en prinses Laurentien (57) naar New York voor haar stage.

For most of March it has fortunately been quiet around her. I imagine she must have been aware she had been overexposed.

The last 'slide' on her Instagram post includes a video of her room in Amsterdam - for those wondering what it looks like: very much like any other student; a small room that fits a bed and some other furniture but not much more.

Isn't it funny when AI mixes things up? This is what Bing spontaneously told me when I looked for information/pictures on Märtha Louise at the christening of countess Leonore:

Princess Märtha Louise attended the Christening of Countess Leonore in the Netherlands, accompanied by her daughters. The event took place on October 8, 2006. However, it’s important to note that Countess Leonore is actually a member of the Swedish royal family, not the Dutch royal family.

The true Christening of Princess Leonore occurred in Sweden. She is the daughter of Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill. The ceremony took place at the Royal Chapel of Drottningholm Palace outside Stockholm on June 8, 2014. This date coincided with both Pentecost and the first wedding anniversary of Princess Madeleine and Mr. O’Neill.

It’s fascinating to witness these royal traditions and celebrations, where history and family intersect in meaningful ways.

I think that's about normal for New York, although it depends on what neighborhood she's in.

She probably would have gotten a better deal if it were still New Amsterdam!

Eloise posted a video on her IG of her parents visiting them in NY, going to the museum and to have a meal together.

Indeed, I just checked and I saw Princess Laurentien sticking her tongue out several times to the camera for some reason.

When I click on the link I get the homepage of the Humane Society for Animals, which is a very good purpose, but where is the connection with Eloise and her parents ?

According to Eloise a stranger asked her out for a date while in the gym in New York.
Her followers are now wondering if her relationship with Archie Maclaine Pont is over.

Eloise van Oranje door vreemde op date gevraagd in New York

Eloise van Oranje (22) rondt op dit moment haar stageperiode af in New York. Ze heeft het goed naar haar zin gehad, weten we dankzij haar filmpjes. In haar meest recente TikTok-video vertelt ze dat ze gister op date is gevraagd door een vreemde in de sportschool.

Eloise is back and is irritating many again with her social media posts. On instagram she wrote how much in need she was of a vacation. She currently is in Italy.

Jack van Gelder haalt uit naar gravin Eloise: 'Verschrikkelijk'

Gravin Eloise geniet van haar vakantie in Italië en laat dat ook graag aan haar volgers zien. Jack van Gelder is echter helemaal klaar met haar gedrag op sociale media, zo liet hij dinsdag duidelijk merken in De Oranjezomer

www.shownieuws.nl

Apparently reactions on social media were not all positive as she was critisized for flaunting her lifestyle while others pointed out how she didn't stop flying since she said in an interview that she wanted to join extinction rebellion (environmental activists).

In the television programme of Helène Hendriks guests agreed it 'was not very smart', and wondered if her parents did not object to her social media behavior. Even mentioning Laurentien's good work for the victims of the child benifits scandal.

I am not surprised about what and how she is posting. She is a disgrace to the Dutch Royal Family, IMO. Rich privileged stupid young woman who is only in for her fame and using her royal connections. I hope she is getting lots of criticism. Her parents don't seem to mind, they are supporting her, sadly enough.

Css Eloise has opened a second (pop up?) store for MyLimaLima. This one focusses on men's clothes. The shop is located in the Frederiksstraat in The Hague.

Apparently, Eloise appeared on the catwalk 2 weeks ago for the first time. Both her father and brother were present for the occasion.

Zien: Eloise van Oranje debuteert als model op catwalk

Op de Amsterdam Fashion Week liep Eloise als een van de modellen mee tijdens de show van ontwerpster Tess van Zalinge.

N.B. Note that this source is not very reliable but in this case, I'd say we can trust that she indeed walked on the catwalk.

On eloise's instagram-account she includes the following email address: romeelek@amillionfaces.nl

So, it seems that she registered with this casting agency: Home - A Million Faces

 

[Luc122]

Perhaps with time she will mature and devote her time to more worthy causes one hopes

 

[hereditarytitles]

She is a spoiled, superficial attention seeking young royal who thinks she is good at everything.
And now modeling too! She cannot compete at all with royal fellow models such as Olympia of Greece and Nicolai of Denmark. She neither has the looks nor the attitude of a model, JMO

Yesterday, September 19, Countess Eloise attended the premiere of "Moulin Rouge The Musical" in Utrecht:

What happened to her education in the hotel business. I remember she started this a few years ago with a short stay in New York as an internship or something like that. Has she given up or finished her education?

 

[Somebody]

Her internship was earlier this year if I'm not mistaken, she is in her final year of the hotel school and does the other things on the side. Most students will have some kind of job next to their studies and this (gravinfluencer) is hers.

In this case she had to leave the program after one episode, so that won't have been too impactful for her studies.

A granddaughter of Beatrix, Claus and Laurens-Jan Brinkhorst dressed as a wolf and dancing for a few Euros, followers and likes on commercial television. How the mighty have fallen.

The vulgarity of it all makes you wonder if a republic wouldn’t actually be a more dignified form of government. At least there will be no relatives clowning around on television. What a circus and what an embarrassment this branch of the family has become.

I also don't understand why some younger members of the royal families have chosen this way of life. Don't they get advice from their parents or other relatives? In Spain, Victoria de Marichalar (niece of King Felipe VI and granddaughter of King Juan Carlos) also participated in a television program. Interestingly, I didn't see any criticism in the media. Since they are far apart in the line of succession, I don't think this would harm the monarchies of their respective countries, but if they were sisters of the future queens, then there would be a problem.

That’s what you get with a stream lined monarchy where other than the Monarch, his consort and the heir, other members are disposable!

You can’t tell them your not technically a royal but you should hide under a rock cause you are royal, that’s half in half out!

Unless you are going to ask every younger children of a monarch or their children sign a NDA when they come of age we will get a huge increase in NEPO babies!

That's why in Spain, it is expected that the Infanta Sofia will continue working for the royal house in the future.

True, you cannot forbid them anything and certainly they don't have to hide. But, they are using their royal relations to become famous or being an influencer or a model or whatever people nowadays are getting famous for. This is what bothers me.
I make an exception for Nikolai of Denmark and even Olympia of Greece. They have the looks and even if they weren't of royal descent they could have made a career in their chosen field, plus Nikolai went to university and got his degree. That is an achievement IMO because he knows he won't spend all of his life modeling. I don't know Olympias plans for the future.

Many of them don't have to earn their own money because they have rich families and, as you say, no royal responsibilities. It is a matter of interests like what do you want to achieve in life and what is important to you. The world is full of B,C and D celebrities who are working their way up to be "famous" and earning their money with doing this.
We don't need royals to do the same while they have so much other opportunities in life that non royal people don't have or have to work hard to achieve their goals.

I get your point but we also have the example of princess Theodora of Greece who maybe is a good actress but to be honest in Hollywood she is a C or D celebrity, I don’t recall any backlash to her work as an actress.
I see that it’s normal nowadays to see NEPO babies trying to be influencers, it’s the new jet set life that was the norm for NEPO babies back in the day!
I might not agree with their choices but honestly with monarchies now evolving to be republics in all but name with only the monarch, consort, heir and the rest of the actual Royal Family have to go to the dungeons until there is a weeding or a funeral to show up, I can’t blame those members to do as they wish as it’s being stated every time that they are disposable and even being in the public eye hurt republicans who think that The Netherlands is paying for the wardrobe of countess Eloise for instance!
