Although I knew their age, it's always surprising, Queen Paola
looks at least 10 years younger...Here are some more pics from
yesterday, I especially like the ones of Paola cuddling the baby
and the pic of Paola and Albert holding each other for a picture,
a royal fan wants to make, that's really nice.
Pic 1, 2 and 3 are very nice! Thanks Iceflower!
A few more pics from yesterday.
