I was really hoping Queen Fabiola would be able to attend this and I'm glad to see the pics of her! She looks fantastic considering her recent ill health and thanks so much for the nice photos!:flowers:

Thanks for the pics, iceflower! It's a nice alternation watching Queen Fabiola together with Princess Claire and her daughter Louise because Fabiola and Claire don't attend so many events together (whereas the Princess and Queen Paola are already a well-known team), but maybe I'm wrong about that...
I noticed Claire's mother Nicole as well in one of the pictures:flowers:
 
It is lovely to see that the little childern attend with there moms.
Elisabeth is really growing up.
 
Nice to see Queen Fabiola out & about. And also nice that the two daughter-in-laws of the king are accompanying her (together with the younger royals).

The Queen seems to walk very difficultly (which is absolutely normal at her age) and she doesn't seem to stable with the stick either. At home I hope she will use a rollator/walker like Queen ingrid used to do, it must be much easier.
 
I noticed Claire's mother Nicole as well in one of the pictures:flowers:

Good observation! Thanks for telling us! :flowers:

Today another event with lots of great pictures has taken place:

Members of the jury and Princess Mathilde, Queen Fabiola, Prince Philippe,

It's been one of the finals, there will be more with other members of the family attending,
I've seen Princess Astrid, Prince Lorenz and Queen Fabiola listed in the official calendar
for the next two days, but neither King Albert nor Queen Paola, but there still is the
chance that they'll make a surprise attendance :)
