Nice event but I can not take it au sérieux. The three states with a serious German-speaking part are Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The Belgian, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein German-speaking people together barely fill a small town. It are totally meaningless dwarfs. When you drive from Maastricht to Luxembourg, before you have even noticed it at all, the German-speaking region in Belgium is already passed.

If we go this way: when will the United Kingdom join the Francophonie? After all London is the biggest French city outside France...

but what about the German speaking minority in Denmark? And do please, take this event au sérieux! German is a language with a vibrant culture that needs friends to give it the wide spread support it deserves! Furthermore, Montreal is the biggest Francophone city outside France:lol::bang::flowers:
 
I think that the car-free day is a great idea and it's always nice to see Philippe and his family together, too. Elisabeth is turning into quite a beautiful young lady! I hope this doesn't come across as a criticism because I'm just asking out of sheer curiosity, but is the mark on her cheek a birth mark or something else; I've never noticed it until now. The photos of Eleonore and Mathilde together are cute, too.

I wonder if the King and the Queen of the Belgians spoke German fluently?
The King of the Netherlands had a German Father.
 
Philippe does. He is fluent in the three languages of Belgium though his Dutch has been criticized. From what I understand he speaks Dutch, German and French, as well as Spanish and Italian. Mathilde I font believe is fluent in German, only French and Dutch for Belgium, as well as English and Italian.
 
Anyone who's seen his German version of his Christmas speech would seriously doubt that he's 'fluent' in German. If that's fluent, then I'm fluent too having studied it for around 2 years at grammar school.
