King Philippe, Q. Mathilde and Family, General News, Part 1 (July 2013 - Sept. 2017)

The 2 boys with the same austrian jacket, not natural , not modern and not nice at all.

I used to go to South Tyrol (northern Italy) on summer holidays with my parents when I was a kid and my mum bought me a Tyrolean costume which was very similar to the one P.Eleonore is wearing: it's a very common thing to wear those outfits on special occasions in Alpine regions (even to go to the theatre/opera house) and it's a nice nod to Austria and to Salzburg.

Does anyone know who the lady beside queen Mathilde is?

It's Helga Rabl Stadler, since 1995 President of the Salzburg Festival. And the little girl is her granddaughter

Lovely family. I think it was a nice touch with the traditional coats and outfit for the youngest.
And how nice for them to pose for and share some photos.
And wow the king looks very tanned.

And very handsome indeed. Mathilde is a very lucky lady to have him on her arm, he is like a *Silver Fox* in my book, just WOW!

In some of the photos, he looks sunburnt! Q Mathilde looks very tanned too.

Wonderful pics - nice to see the younger children wearing traditional costumes.

On a side note: I remember being in Europe back in 2008 and was shocked at the cost of SPF 15+ sunscreen. My friend and I paid a small fortune for a small bottle from a pharmacy in Nice. I'm from Australia, and the price we paid would have bought me a litre bottle of SPF 30+ sunscreen!

Welcome to the Philippe Fan Club ?

I love how they chose to wear traditional Austrian clothing for the event, that's actually something people do when visiting that country.
