Thank you for answering my question, LadyLeana! Was this outing taken as a way to highlight the new relationship? Is that the reason for Victoria's visit?

Thanks for photos! I have been pleasantly surprised to see Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden undertaking an engagement in Belgium. I just wonder what language Crown Princely couple uses to communicate with Crown Princess Victoria... English ... perhaps.

[LadyLeana]

Well, they were both there because of some conference organized by Sweden, if I'm correct. I have to check details.

I believe they use English among each other, Al_Bina. They showed a video on the news, and one of the princesses said just one sentence but it was in English.

LadyLeana,
Thanks for the information! The ubiquitous English language is a usual means of international communication.
Crown Princess Mathilde seems to have her agenda full after summer holiday.

The visit is placed under the sign of the fight against infantile poverty.
The Open House welcomes children from 0 to 3 years and their parents
