Her Majesty looks lovely. We haven't seen her in a while. She looks rested.
I adore seeing her with children. She really has the touch of a grandma with them!
Does anyone know how the King is feeling?

Much to do about the Kings views that leaked out:
Quote:
Wed 13/02/08 - "King Albert wants a new federal constituency. He is suspicious of Prime Minister-in-waiting Yves Leterme and believes his Flemish nationalist ally N-VA poses a danger to the Belgian state". All these claims have been made in the daily De Standaard recently.
The only conclusion can be that leading politicians have been telling reporters what the king said to them.

Nice to see the King out again! Does this mean that his period of obligatory rest is over now and the King has recovered completely from the surgery had this fall?

Did they also visit Radio Dona? I watched them on television yesterday morning and the DJ said she was nervous as the King would be paying them a visit later during the day.

A bit of older news, in the beginning of February the Gazet van Antwerpen claimed that in 2007, 1600 poor(er) Belgians had sent a letter to Queen Paola, asking for money. 354 of them received a cheque of 200 Euros.

Here a video of the King and Queen visiting the VRT.
Quote:
Thu 21/02/08 - The Belgian royals are often in the media. This is why King Albert and Queen Paola also wanted to have a look behind the scenes.
The CEO of the Flemish public broadcaster VRT, Dirk Wauters, was keen to explain the significant changes that have been made in the organisation in recent months.
A few minutes later viewers on our first TV channel can see how the royals visit Radio Donna. They hear about what kind of hits are played on this pop station.
Head of News, Wim Willems, introduces the monarch to new anchor Martine Tanghe and the news studio.
