The rumors about a divorce from Prince Laurent and Princess Claire have been circulating for several days, but according to the prince are completely incorrect. That’s what he says in the French-language 7sur7.

“I can’t say anything about it, because there’s nothing to say,” Prince Laurent responds to the rumor that he would be living separately from his wife, who had moved in with her parents. “We don’t live in other places, that’s not true. I don’t know where all this comes from, and it doesn’t interest me.”
Pere Gilbert, a confidant of Laurent and the man who inaugurated the marriage in 2003, also denies to the SudPresse newspapers that the couple would have split up. “I can tell you that Claire and Laurent are still together,” it sounds. “I was on the phone with them both less than a month ago. All these false rumors are of no use except hurting people. The couple are doing well and staying united.”
Rumors
Rumors of a possible divorce between Laurent and Claire emerged on Tuesday, after statements by a royalty watcher in Humo. They were compounded by the princess’s absence from the national holiday festivities Wednesday. It has been since the end of 2019 that Claire attended an activity of the royal family. It is also the second year in a row that she has missed the national holiday. Last year it was stated that she had contracted the corona virus and also suffered from an (unexplained) lingering illness, but according to our information, she has recovered.
“We heard last Christmas that Claire left Laurent”, says Joëlle Vanden Houden, the producer of the former VTM program ‘Royalty’, in an interview with Humo. According to her, Princess Claire would no longer be seen in their home in Tervuren and she would have gone to her parents in Chaumont-Gistoux with the children.
