Michel, 14th Prince of Ligne, hosted the conference "L'avenir de l'Europe", on the future of Europe, held in the fabulous library (which has more than 20 thousand volumes!) Of his property, the Castle of Beloeil
Princess Isabella (pictured with President of the Jury, actor John Malkovich) attended day 1 of the 10th Angouleme French-Speaking Film Festival in Angouleme, France, yesterday, August 22:
I remember reading an article where she complained that the DoC's wedding gown was almost a complete ripoff of her own. She had a point, but it was just not very good form to be whining. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...unless Isabella was just annoyed that Kate's got more attention.
Isabella is/was (I'm not sure on her current position as she seems to be more involved in her painting now) an actress so the family have always led a glamorous lifestyle, but I agree, her Instagram does very much reflect that. I still like how they share such photos regularly as I doubt we would see the family much otherwise. Althea and Athenais are very cute.
Princess Alix de Ligne and her Husband Count Guillaume de Dampierre welcomed their first child, a girl named Olympia, born 21st December 2017, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Thank you iceflower. Althea and Athenais are beautiful little girls; I follow Isabella on Instagram where she regularly posts photos of them. It looks like they had a very fun birthday.

Alix's brother, Prince Henri de Ligne, was a godfather and godmother was Geraldine de Dampierre, Guillaume's sister.
Princess Isabella and her family are on holiday in St. Tropez at the moment and attended a party hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Castro who are also holidaying in the area:
Wow indeed; what a lovely surprise! Congratulations to the family. It's interesting that she announced her pregnancy just now given the fact that she's quite active on Instagram sharing news and photos of her and her children.
Very sweet photo!
I was in the Jardin du Luxembourg in late August, annoyingly about a week before the family came back from their summer holidays, as often happens when I visit places that the royals/celebrities live in or near
