Prince Laurent and family

[lilyrose]

Laurent has very nice looking children.  Prince Nicolas has a resemblance to the late King Baudouin.     

Do you mean the boy with the glasses? I think that's Aymeric? He's so tall!

[ralf103]

So Laurent gave an interview in which he said his sister wasn't in the same financial situation as himself as she married someone of "standing" and with money, while he married for love.

I thought Astrid got on well with both her brothers - seems like Laurent is perhaps having a sly dig here to me.

Aren't your sister Princess Astrid and her family in the same boat in that respect?

“Yes, but she married someone of good descent (Prince Lorenz belongs to the highest nobility in Europe and is a private banker in Switzerland, ed.). I should have married a billionaire. Then I wouldn't have had any trouble with the regulations. But I don't like money and I married a woman I loved.”

Oh please Laurent!!!  You like money as much as the next royal hanger-on.  And you live a comfortable and entitled existence so screw you. 

And you've given the woman you love plenty of grief with your insane pettiness so frankly zero sympathy from Ms. Gemsheal
