May he have a long life , the whole country admires him.
He succeeded to be so popular which was not that easy after the more than 40 years reign of his brother Baudouin.

It is isn't it.Despite all the difficulties they've encountered,and left behind them,it is love that prevails according to these two.A wonderfull couple,yes they are.It is worth it to fight for your happiness instead of choosing the easy way out,fight,show some guts,never take anything for granted,but be greatfull for what life gives you in opportunities and choose wisely.Or go flat on your face a couple of times so you learn to appreciate more what you have,instead of nagging about what you do not have.

A wonderfull rule.

I absolutely love this photo. I speaks volumes about their life and love during the past 50 years. They seem so tender and sweet, and the lines on their lovely faces are beautiful. You can see that they have lived incredible lives, and that even 50 years later, through all of life's challenges, they still care deeply for each other.
