Belgian royal journalist, Wim Dehandschutter, told Hello regarding the potential romance: “Elisabeth and Georg, it would certainly be a wonderful royal match.
“Royal families are close in general, and Belgians and Liechtensteiners know each other well; there are branches.
“Their parents are colleagues, friends, in some way family. Elisabeth and Georg are believed to have known each other since childhood.”
On the authenticity of the photo, Wim told HELLO!: “King Philippe and certainly Queen Mathilde guard their privacy like lions, and even more so that of their children.
“And the Liechtensteiners are also legendary secretive. They’re an unknown but prestigious royal family and one of the wealthiest.
“Why would Elisabeth and Georg have any interest in leaking their relationship? And then in such a clumsy way, via a private photo that’s never completely private on Instagram?”
Princess Elisabeth is the heir to the Belgian throne.
