Her first communion was celebrated in 2011, and was attended by several members of the Belgian Royal Family, including her parents, grandparents brothers, aunt and uncle Archduchess Astrid & Archduke Lorenz, and their daughter, Princess Laetitia Maria (who was also 7 years old at this time), aunt and uncle The Duke & Duchess of Brabant with their children{Source}. In 2014, Princess Louise was a flower girl at the wedding of her cousin Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este. Because she is so young and so far down in the line of succession, she is primarily kept from the limelight. She is usually photographed with other family members at official family portrait photo-call sessions, such as the summer {2008}and Christmas calls {Christmas 2006}
Because of the absolute primogeniture, her brothers did not displace her in the Belgian line of succession. In 2009, Princess Louise contracted pneumonia while on a family holiday in Sardinia, leading to the hospitalization of her father, Prince Laurent{Source}
