Lea has been pretty active lately, wonder if it is also because Philippe requested it? I think he's going to work with as many adult members of the family as possible to fill the agenda (I see Amedeo and Lili putting a bit of weight as well).

Princess Lea attended a morning mass for Queen Astrid at St. Waudru Collegiate Mons on Sunday as it was the eightieth anniversary of Queen Astrid's death. Princess Lea received an invitation to the event from the Mons-Hainaut Royal Veterans League of King Leopold III.

It's amazing and wonderful that Queen Astrid is still memorialized in Belgium 80 years after her tragic death. I remember when King Baudouin was still living, Queen Fabiola said in an interview that "Mama Astrid is a big part of our lives" or something similar.

She must have been quite a woman!

 

[grevinnan]

When you die young under tragic circumstances you will forever have a very special place in peoples hearts. Besides she was very much loved while she was alive.

Well, she was the mother of King Albert II, she was the mother of the late spouse of Grand-Duke Jean of Luxembourg, she was first spouse to the father of Princess Marie-Christine and Princess Marie-Esméralda. So despite the 80 years which have passed it is still "living history" for these four living royals, so to speak.

And let's not forget her numerous nephews and nieces in Norway, Denmark and Sweden (or wherever Madeleine Kogevinas lives)

Queen Astrid died on August 29th . They will be a Celebration at Küssnacht .
King Philippe will be there.

Her Son Son King Albert Ii will be there and also the Grand Ducals of Luxembourg.

Perhaps Princess Astrid of Norway and Madeleine Bernadotte her nieces.

The attendance of the GD couple is confirmed? Would be great if Philippe and Henri would commemorate their grand mother together.

Like in November Princess Léa helped serving meals to homeless people in Brussels again. The pics were taken on January 25.
I hope she also takes the time to listen, as a talk can be as important as a hot meal...
