King Albert and Queen Paola where photographed by Olivier Pollet for the magazine Paris Match. It shows exclusive pictures of the king and queen in France.

A very intimate and heartwarming picture you can see here.

Cover picture.
 
:previous:This intimate picture is lovely...
How can we not adore them?...
I do :wub:

If someone has a scan of the article, please post it. Thanks.
 
Thank you very much for posting that beautiful and sweet cover of "Paris Match", stephanievl!
Unfortunately, I don't own a copy of the magazine viz. the article in question fancatt, but I've discovered one rather large picture gallery at newscom: Newscom - Multimedia for Websites and Publishers
:previous:In case this link doesn't lead you directly to the photos, just enter "Albert Paola Valbonne 2011" as searching keywords:flowers:.
 
Thank You Lina :) My favorit are: 1 2 3
The way they look at each other is really revealing tenderness, very sweet...
 
:previous:Thanks for the nice photo coverage, iceflower:flowers:!
Queen Paola truly deserves this honour due to her very passionate dedication to all those youth-related issues i.m.o. :clap: -even more because Non-Belgians are comparatively scarcely informed about suchlike matters by their respective press, I think. By contrast, you can hear viz. read quite a lot concerning Queen Silvia of Sweden's or Queen Rania of Jordan's commitment in similar domains...
Anyway, here is a pretty survey of all Princess/Queen Paola stamps which have been released until now: Royalement Blog: La reine Paola en philatélie
Several better pictures: 1. la reine Paola | Soirmag.be 2. le roi Albert II et la reine Paola | Soirmag.be 3. Drottning Paola – nu även som frimärke | Svensk Damtidning (your 1st picture without watermarks)

Thanks for the very nice overview, Lina RdC! :)
You're most welcome, iceflower! Which stamps are your favourites? As for me, I prefer that lovesome one with the young princely family sitting on a sofa as well as the newly published stamp. Its motive looks marvellous since it decently alludes to several traits distinguishing Queen Paola's personality: she is -inter alia- exquisitely affectionate, devoted, dynamic and open-minded, I would say:sun:...
Today, October 11, Queen Paola attended the official opening of 'Vlaamsoogpunt' the new home of the association "Blindenzorg Licht en Liefde" that supports blind and visually impaired people in Gent.[...]
Just a curious question: does anybody know if the queen is capable of reading Braille? Further picture galleries: APA-PictureDesk (October 11); IBL Bildbyrå - Nytt/Features (October 6); IBL Bildbyrå - Nytt/Features (October 11)

The first picture looks somehow photoshopped for me. Has anyone the same impression?

The Dutch reactions against the Queen in het Nieuwsblad are harsh !
Although she is not a really music lover, it is a honor to be invited by the Russian First Lady. Our belgian wonderful violinist Lorenzo Gatto was on stage. To me she did well!

Honestly? How did you get this impression?
I for my part always thought that Queen Paola was a big admirer of the fine arts in general and, among them, of music -considering e.g. her excellent compilation of background music for the documentary "Paola, Paroles de Reine" (premising she basically selected those interesting pieces on her own, of course)...
 
Yes indeed she likes fine Modern/contemporary Arts .
What she did in the royal palace is doubtful , the ceiling is fine but putting green scarabs on one of the 3 huge Lusters is strange.
I guided many years the Royal Palace in Summer when it is open for the public, and may say that no-one liked it at all.
The only real music lovers in the RF are TM Queen Elisabeth and Queen Fabiola.
