Now there's one tea party I'd love to help out at. Absolutely wonderful. The Queen obviously knows how to give a tea party, because that's the real deal, and those kids look like they are having the time of their lives. And Her Majesty is so good with them too.
Here is the video of her speech:
La Reine Mathilde parle l'italien ! - Vidéo - RTL TVI
I believe this is the first time I hear her speaking Italian, and she does it rather well.
"Twenty years ago there was a shockwave through the country. As a young woman, I was particularly struck by the fate of the kidnapped and murdered girls. The cries of the parents led to an unprecedented solidarity with the affected families. I am pleased that measures at a later stage were taken that benefit victims. But we must remain vigilant. Good cooperation between the government and citizens is essential, we want to win the battle against missing and exploited children and youth. The value of a society can be measured by the care and protection it offers its children. Let us all remain alert, because children are even today still regularly reported as disappeared or missing. This must not leave anyone indifferent."
Well I guess having a half-Italian husband helps, right?
I heard he speaks the language rather well.
The picture with HM holding the baby- if that's not precious I don't know what is. Love that she's not afraid of getting her clothes dirty..
Today, July 14, Queen Mathilde received a delegation of young adults of the organization Te Gek !? that organizes the 5th edition of the Tour de France on the theme "Youth and mental health". Te Gek!? works against the stigmatization of psychiatric patients.
