Maybe it's because the Queen and Princess Claire attend more
events together and are well attuned to each other whereas
we do not see Paola and Mathilde that often as a team.

Here are some additional pics from the concert yesterday:

Actually I have to say that the Queen and Princess Claire has a closer relationship and the Queen and Princess Mathilde seem to be very formal to eachother and I found quite an aloofnees between them. This is too sad, because I checked it also in the Queen's relationship with Philippe and Mathilde's childre. But surely I'm wrong, it'd be only a bad idea in my mind, 'cause there are few occasion to watch them altogether.

It is great that Crown Princess Mathilde undertook an engagement alongside her father-in-law. It appears that their relationships are fine.
Princess Claire has not got an agenda of her own as Crown Princess Mathilde or Princess Astrid has. Thus, it is easier to ask Princess Claire to accompany Queen Paola. I think it is normal to have different types of relationships between family members. Queen Paola feels, shall we say, more comfortable with Princess Claire, whereas she tends to have more formal relationships with her eldest daughter-in-law.

Princess Claire does not have as many engagements on her own,
but she does have some. But maybe that's also how you've meant
it, Al_bina

Here are some more additional pics of Mathilde and King Albert from
yesterday:

Indeed, Princess Claire does carry few engagements on behalf of the Belgium royal family. Let us say that Princess Claire's agenda is not as full as that of Crown Princess Mathilde.

Princess Mathilde looks so elegant and chic in her green outfit. She seems so sweet and lovely when she meet people. Thank you for the pics, Icflower.

Troonopvolgers!: Mathilde ontvangt ambassadeurs.

[Marchesina]

Mathilde looks stunning, and I like very much seeing her very closed to her father-in-law. Green suits perfectly on her!!!!!!!!!
