I'm sorry to ask, but is it really necessary to create another thread next to the thread with news and pictures part 7?
If you want to create a space where you can see the most beautiful pictures, there is photo-gallery also here at the royal forums.

The picture galleries are specifically for official or special occasion images. Many members, of note in the Belgian forums but at other forums, too, have been posting many images of older events which have been "cluttering" up news threads. The picture threads, such as this one, are specifically for that purpose.

Princess Mathilde visits daycare centre Crescendo in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe. Crescendo is a daycare centre where deaf and hard of hearing children are taken care of together with children who have a normal hearing. With this visit, princess Mathilde wanted to emphasize the importance of the continuous support and help for children with hearing problems, from a very early age on.

As a speach therapist, she also worked with deaf children.

Because it was nearly Christmas, Santa was present too :):)

Thanks for the wonderful photographs; I had never seen any of them before, and it's always great to see something new and different. Princess Mathilde is one of my favorite royals, along with Princess Mary of Denmark.

Great pictures, Catherine. For some reason I love that photo of them on the train with, perhaps, their advisers? Thanks.
