On this Picture from 2003 you can see Fabiolas sweetness and dignity which she always had and will have.

I am so happy I found this thread! From an early age I always admired this couple, so I am very glad to see pictures of them here. This couple has shown what real royalty is truly about! I still remember that, while visiting Antwerp, the King and Queen unexpectedly stopped the car and went to talk to the prostitutes. It was very impressive and I cannot think of any other royal couple who would do that. I believe that the king and queen were so shocked by their sad stories that they did everything to help those women & they could actually change the lives of some of those women. One of them spoke on the funeral of King Boudewijn.

I wonder though, is there still a remembrence mass for the late King each year? I think I read about it in a magazine, which added that the Queen was only escorted by her niece, Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria, and that no member of the belgian RF went there. Is this true?

Here are pics from this year's rembrance mass for king Boudewijn. Fabiola was accompanied by her Luxemburg niece princess Margaretha and husband prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein.

Can't tell from the pics if there were any others.

Astrid & Lorenz were there too.

Thank you both! I believe the Queen is especially close to her niece Marguerite of Liechtenstein, so it is nice that she accompanied her aunt.

Good to know that Astrid and Lorenz were there as well, a pity we don't have pictures of them.

Any pictures of Fabiola's attendance of the remembrance mass for Queen Astrid (or the funeral of Prince Antoine de Ligne), I believe she was escorted by her nephew Guillaume of Luxembourg and his lovely wife Sybilla.

She looks so elegant! I like the wearing of white to a funeral: the color seems much more flattering than severe black. :( It's nice to see pictures of her.
