Princess Maria Laura of Belgium and William Isvy walk down the aisle on September 10

The princess Maria Laura of Belgium and William Isvy get married on September 10as published by the Belgian newspaper BRUZZ. The couple will hold a religious ceremony at the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gueda in Brussels, the same in which Philip of Belgium and Matilde did 23 years ago, and previously Kings Paola and Albert II, who called themselves the ‘yes, I wil’ in 1959, making this cathedral one of the favorite wedding venues of the Belgian royal family. It was late last year that María Laura and William announced their engagement, and four weeks later they received the necessary blessing from the king so that the princess remains ninth in the line of succession to the throne.

Maria Laura of Belgium is 33 years old and is the second daughter of Princess Astrid, sister of King Felipe, and Archduke Lorenzo. While the bride-to-be prefers to go unnoticed and not very fond of photographers, it’s clear that her wedding will put her at the center of the media. The young woman is a bit shy and it seems that this character is due to a hard experience she had during her school years. Journalists Joëlle Vanden Houden and Brigitte Balfoort published a book called princesses of belgium in which they revealed that Maria Laura suffered bullying at school. As the authors themselves explain, this was why her parents decided to transfer her to the international center of San Juan de Waterloo, where she had better luck with her classmates.

The young woman is Archduchess of Austria-Este, Imperial Princess of Austria and Royal Princess of Bohemia, Hungary and Modena. Between the Languages ​​spoken include English, French, Dutch, German and Chinese, it seems he particularly likes the latter, as he spent a year in China perfecting the language. She currently works as an analyst at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London, and it was here, in the English capital, that she met William Isvy, who will become her husband in less than a month.

The future royal was born in Paris, the fruit of the relationship between his British mother and his French father, although of Moroccan descent. Although his first steps were in the French capital, William spent his childhood and part of his adolescence in London. He moved to California to study economics and returned to the British capital to work as an asset manager in banks. And so the paths of the princess and the French crossed. The royal wedding It promises a lot, as the bride’s kinship with so many European royals will make for a very interesting royal parade.

Of the four brothers The youngest would remain single, Leticia, who is 19 years old and studying in the UK, and Luisa María, 26, who has a degree in economics in Montreal. The eldest of the brothers, Amadeo, 35, married Italian journalist Elisabetta Maria Rosboch von Wolkenstein. The third, Joaquín, is dating Victoria Ortiz from Córdoba. The latter couple became the protagonists during the incarceration as the royal family contracted Covid after attending a party in Córdoba, where he traveled to see his girlfriend. The fun Andalusian celebration resulted in a fine of 10,400 euros for Joaquín for failing to comply with the health restrictions imposed during childbirth.

Despite her discreet character, the protagonist today will be María Laura from Belgium. One of the greatest unknowns of this royal wedding is whether or not he will attend the ceremony Princess Delphine, illegitimate daughter of King Albert. Her own father confessed last year that the young woman had a close relationship with her sister Astrid from Belgium, although it is still unknown whether María Laura will put her on her guest list.

In October last year, a judge granted the royal family the title of princess after years of legal battle, in which Delphine claimed her place as daughter of King Albert II.
