Thanks for photos!
The economic mission to India appears to be successful. It is always a pleasure to see Crown Princess Mathilde interacting with children.

I totally agree with you. And the journey once more shows what
a great poster girl (in the meaning of flagship) Mathilde is for
Belgium..

In the meantime the journey continued, the third part in Mumbai
has started:

Princess Mathilde of Belgium and Prince Philippe are welcomed at
the airport of Mumbai, Wednesday 24 March 2010, in India.

There is a nice interview with the prince here:
De Standaard Online - 'Wie kritiek heeft, heeft niet met mij gewerkt'
He tells about his 50th birthday. He says he stays young because of his little children. He has to climb trees and run after footballs. Sunday mornings are his favorite time, he drinks coffee with his family and they laugh a lot.
He also answered questions about attacks of a politician in the press. The prince seemed not very moved by the attack.

The prince seems to have gained self-confidence. Also his 'stiffness' seems gone. I think is was a very good economic mission for the businessmen and for the prince.

3Q very much! In China, it is hard to see something about the couple by video, because youtube is forbidden in China. I stil want to know who has the video of the wedding for Philippe and Mathilde. I extremely want to see it!
