My how Prince Laurent has changed since this photo was taken!

Princess Astrid and Prince Phillipe are simply a little older looking.

even i agree i see some resemblence between her and diana

 

[royalwatcher77]

after looking at the first pic think lousia maria looks like her. no affense to astrid but i think luoisa maria is a bit cuter than she was at this age. even though astrid is a very beautiful woman.

Who is the guy with the red shirt in the first picture, is him Phillipp?
i think that he looks a little bit as Amadeo, and i agree with indian princess, Astrid looks like Diana in this picture

Thats Prince Laurent

 

[elisabetteke]

Yes, Prince Amedeo and Prince Laurent have the same kind of messy hair, but I don't think they really look like each other.

 

[Shikha Pal]

in this picture Philippe is wearing the white Shirt. Amedeo looks a lot like him.

Princess Astrid was with her mother Princess Paola for a short stay in Rome.

Bit of a shame the captions refers to Astrid as a "son"

and she looked and still looks like Princess Diana

Indeed, I've always found a resemblance between young Astrid and Diana

what is the backstory on this?

It must be when Prince Laurent broke his leg, at around 10/11 years old

 

[meeralakshmi]

Glad I'm not the only one here who thinks Astrid resembles Diana, I think she looks like what Diana might look like if she were still alive.

Astrid had a strong resemblance to her niece Eléonore as a child:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RoyalsGossip/comments/1k7ny2g/princess_el%C3%A9onore_of_belgium_twinning_with_her/

Eléonore looks more like Astrid than either of her parents.

I love that Astrid’s smile didn’t change but only got wider

In these pics Astrid was celebrating her first birthday. Paola was 4-5 months pregnant with Laurent.

I love that Astrid’s smile didn’t change but only got wider

Not sure why the link works when I quote both links but not the link alone.
