The day before the Strasbourg visit, Philippe allowed LeSoir magazine to attend his preparatory work meeting, where they polished the speech he was going to give and the media also made a very nice 3D picture of the King's office

I like that he's being pretty open with the press when it comes to his work, also the documentary on his family life shows a transparency that didn't really exist in previous reigns.
