But Philippe and Mathilde were kneeling at their marriagemass. Ordinary people just turn their chair, royal highnesses have an extra chair in front of them. I think it's only been done on very official occasions.

Mette2 said:Thank you for the pictures from today. It's great to see Mathilde again. I think she looks really good, and I like her outfit.
Hannelore said:I don't agree about her posture. When I see her on tv, I'm always struck by how elegant she is. These pics aren't the best quality, and yes, she could be standing in a strange way for a few seconds or so...you can't tell too much from a few pics.

martha-louise said:I think its because she is concentrating on what people tell her. Certainly when she's in Flanders, she doesn''t always understand everything. And she has never been that type of princess who is smiling all the time. When she's bored, she looks bored, when she's compassioned, she cries, when it's fun, she laughs. It's just her way of behaving i guess. I like that pureness
