This Saturday, Elisabeth, the Crown Princess of Belgium, attended the wedding of Henry de Spoelberch and Caroline de Lannoy in Tournai. A wedding where one of the guests was a little more in the spotlight since he was on the arm of our pretty princess. We now know a little more about this mysterious young man.
Princess Elisabeth is obviously a regular guest at weddings, but she usually goes alone, either with her sister Éléonore or her brother Gabriel. However, this Saturday, there was a big surprise during this day spent in Frasnes-les-Anvaing: it was a young man who was on her arm.
An accompanying person who was, inevitably, the target of all eyes and camera lenses. But who is he? The enigma did not take long to be solved. According to our colleagues at SudInfo, he is a young man aged 26 whose family is from Villers-devant-Orval, a small village in the province of Luxembourg, on the French border. He also studied at the Saint-Benoît college in Maredsous.
