I'm pretty sure Mathilde listened to the winner today. Too bad Lukáš Vondráček wasn't the first to play this evening as Gabriel was sent home during the break and missed this brilliant performance.
 
I love that the kids have got a chance to attend. This now makes three out of four, Elisabeth hasn't attended unless I missed her. I hope we will see her as well before it finishes. Great event to bring the kids to, get them more out there at events, without too much pressure.
 
I am happy to see Elisabeth, she was the only one not seen yet :flowers:

I have said it before, but love they bring the kids. I know Elisabeth at least has gone to the ballet as well (she dances ballet or she did). It would be one of my favorite parts if I was royal, attending all the arts events. I think most of my patronages would be arts or animals, as much as possible.

I wonder why Queen Mathilde's sons are always wearing those red pants. Is it an European fashion thing ? I couldn't imagine kids in North America wearing that.

Emmanuel could also get a more contemporary hairstyle IMHO.

Duchess of Gloucester is attending on 31st May.
 
How nice. Why is that? A British contestant perhaps? The Duchess and her husband were also present when Queen Elisabeth II received the Belgian king and queen during their introduction visit.
 
We were used to see different Members of the Royal Family during the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition. Queen Fabiola was often seen with her Luxembourg Nieces or others. Queen Paola invited her Children , the King came also.
Now this week it is the Final , I doubt if we will see Princess Astrid or her Chlldren, Prince Laurent ? Princess Léa ??? King Albert II ????
But they invited the Duchess of Gloucester nobody knows here in Belgium.
On that same day we will see for the first time Queen Poala and her daughter Princess Astrid in the Greenhouses of Laeken.
 
Now this week it is the Final , I doubt if we will see Princess Astrid or her Chlldren, Prince Laurent ?


Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz will attend a final session this evening, Prince Laurent and Princess Claire are sheduled to attend a final on June 2.



Today, May 30, the lunch for the jury members hosted by King Philippe and Queen Mathilde took place:
