Princess Maria Laura of Belgium got engaged to British investment banker William Isvy. Belgian Royal Palace posted two photos of the engaged couple on social media with the caption: "Princess Maria Laura and Mr William Isvy are engaged. The wedding will take place in the second half of 2022. Congratulations to the future bride and groom!"
Princess Maria Laura (33) is the eldest daughter of Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz and a niece of the Belgian King Philippe. Maria Laura is a climate analyst at the NGO CIFF. William Isvy (30) is the son of a British mother and a French-Moroccan father, and he works in asset management. He is an avid tennis player and traveller, two interests he shares with Princess Maria Laura, according to the palace.

The dress is quite nice, but I think she's the type who needs bright bold colors. I don't like her hairstyle, I wear my tied hair like this when I clean my house. She probably has fine, not thick hair, she should try a shorter haircut that will help her optically. Simply, long hair do not suit for everyone.

Yes indeed
DeleteI think this natural and simple hairstyle suits her face best ? /ML
DeleteAnon 01:50, I agree!
Delete- rita -
I totally agree with you Stephanie.
DeleteCongratulations to the future bride and groom
ReplyDeleteHer boots are nice.
ReplyDeleteQuel beau ténébreux ; ils se sont très bien trouvés - Félicitations à tous les deux !
ReplyDeleteI think I would prefer him freshly shaved.
DeleteCongratulations and much happiness to the couple! Maria Laura's dress is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteA happy and handsome couple. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI focus on their apparent happiness!

They look very happy, congratulations to both of them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the happy couple.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say, too: hypocrites!

Another case of “do as I say not as I do”… Travelling, especially by air and ship, are one of the causes for climate change. So the princess and her asset manager love to travel, all the while she ist working as an “climate analyst” for a NGO?
This is interisting, Anonymous 08:37. I didn't know that, I must say.
DeleteIt is possible that they tried to travel by donkey, camel and whale and found that it took too long. They do have jobs.
DeleteA lot of royals like to travel. Many kings and queens, princes and princesses have their own private jet. Also common people like to travel a lot even in times that many governements all over the world ask the people of their country not to travel if not strictly necessary. The royals give speeches in which they explain what is bad for the climate and what we not should do to avoid damage to the planet etc.... Afterwards they are flying home in their private,governemental or military jet...
DeleteOn the other hand if nobody travel anymore a lot of people will loose their job. It is also proven that the fashion industry is one of the most polluating sectors in the world. It is again the royals who buy a lot of new clothes each year. So isn't it always a question of giving and taking and finding a good balance.
Congratulations! Unconditional love is always great to watch. Their looking nicely. I think the dress is a good one.
DeleteShe has a great figure, length with beautiful hair but has failed to make the best out of it. With make-up, ad some (ear)pearls for her complexion, she could look like a glamour-princess but now looks a plain duchess.
These high profile travelers should have flown to the Hollywood studios and look how they do their PR. With better lightning and a better decor.
The lawn looks like a worn doormat ( I imagine dogs running around?)

Interesting commnet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and lots of happiness to them.
Her cousin, la comtesse Margherita von und zu Arco-Zinneberg (39 years old) is getting married to Charles Green in 2022. He also works in the finance world.
p.s. like her dress but hope she's got a good warm coat nearby to block out the cold.
These are not new official photos taken outdoors in December, 🤔
ReplyDeleteThey ARE engaged and the news is ... IMO, the wedding will take place in the second half of 2022 💞.
Happy New Year 🕛🍾. / K
Difficult to know at what time of the year the photos were taken.
DeleteShe is wearing a light weight summer dress and he is wearing a pullover.
@ Anna, how does a plain duchess looks like? Is it different than a plain queen, princess or baroness? I fully disagree that pearls would have added value to this outfit, not with this dress and even less with the combat (ish) boots, I think the pearls would feel very displaced :-)
ReplyDeleteThe dress is fine, but it looks like the coloring of the photos is just bad, they look kind of unhealthy ( I am sure they aren't) and his unshaven face that works with a few gents doesn't for him.
