Thank you for answering my question, LadyLeana! Was this outing taken as a way to highlight the new relationship? Is that the reason for Victoria's visit?

Thanks for photos! I have been pleasantly surprised to see Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden undertaking an engagement in Belgium. I just wonder what language Crown Princely couple uses to communicate with Crown Princess Victoria... English ... perhaps.

[LadyLeana]

Well, they were both there because of some conference organized by Sweden, if I'm correct. I have to check details.

I believe they use English among each other, Al_Bina. They showed a video on the news, and one of the princesses said just one sentence but it was in English.

LadyLeana,
Thanks for the information! The ubiquitous English language is a usual means of international communication.
Crown Princess Mathilde seems to have her agenda full after summer holiday.

Princess Mathilde visited “La Maison Ouverte” (The Open House)
in Marchienne-au-Pont (Charleroi), Belgium, September 16, 2009.

The visit is placed under the sign of the fight against infantile poverty.
The Open House welcomes children from 0 to 3 years and their parents
and is trying to get these families out of their isolation and their social
and emotional poverty.
