How moving.
The Prince Laurent Foundation already manages six other clinics in Belgium, located in Brussels, Ghent, Genk, Liège, Charleroi, and Hornu. This clinic has obtained approval from the municipality of Antwerp to occupy the premises of the former Stuivenberg Hospital for six years. A call for applications has also been launched, as staffing is now required.

Every Belgian is impressed by the Menin Gate Memorial and its Last Post.
What a honor to have the Princess Royal in Belgium for the unveiling of the new engraved stone.
She never saw our Princess Claire who was there because she is half British but remain a minor Royal.
To me a more important Royal should have be there , Princess Astrid or Prince Laurent

Great point. I assume her being both British and Belgian is indeed the reason she was asked to represent the king.

Prince Laurent and his son Nicholas went to visit the 'Bricks of Wonder' LEGO event in Leidschendam, the Netherlands. He was invited by the Belgian artist Dirk Denoyelle. Nicholas and Laurent both made their own thing, and Laurent admired a real-sized LEGO statue of King Willem-Alexander.
