[edit] The Affaire „Ducruet“
Houtteman was reigning „Miss Nude Belgium“ when in August 1996 Belgian photographer Stephane de Lisiecki arranged a meeting between Houtteman and Princess Stephanie's husband Daniel Ducruet in a rented villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer, Southern France. De Lisiecki and Houtteman's boyfriend Yves Hoogewys photographed Ducruet having poolside sex with Houtteman. The pictures and a video footage of the tryst were widely reproduced in the Spanish, Italian and German press and led directly to the royal couple's divorce. Houtteman used her short time popularity for several performances in TV and magazines, such as Eurotrash or Penthouse.
