Well, it is kind of fun to be a fly on the wall at one of their private visits! I appreciate the photos Johann.

Default Break in on grounds

I saw an item on another board about a man being arrested for being on the grounds of the residence of Prince Phillippe and Princess Mathilde. It said they were not home at the time. Does anyone have any information on this?

I did a google news search using their names, title and country and got nothing new. I also used the words 'arrested' added to their names and came out with nothing.
Did it happen today?

Was this recently? I've heard nothing about it.

OK I found something in De Standaard: http://www.standaard.be/Artikel/Deta...MF14052006_018

Intruder arrested on the royal domain of Laken

BRUSSELS - Last Saturday a man has been arrested on the royal domain of the caste of Laken, he had intruded the domain unnoticed. News from the Public Prosecutor's Office on Sunday.

The king and queen were not present on the domain at the moment of the facts. The man, who's identity has not been revealed, claims he was "going for a stroll", so the Public Prosecutor's Office informs us.

The man is known to court for robbery. A file exits on him. He will be prosecuted for disturbance of domestic peace. Nothing was stolen.

Thanks Hannelore, for finding the above article and taking time to translate some of it.
That explains why I could not find it, it was in another language and it did not go international with an english translation.

A short video of a radiant Mathilde handing out the IBL prize. It's the most important scientific prize in Belgium and it was rewarded to Dutch Hidde Ploegh for his research about why certain viruses escape our immune system. Mathilde asked him about the connections between his investigations and HIV.
