i thought they were a part of national day celebrationHannelore said:If a royal is walking down the street it doesn't mean they're performing a royal duty.
Filip and Mathilde went to eat in a restaurant with their children. That's not a royal duty. It isn't because it was the national day and the family was photographed that it was a royal duty.
The children won't be performing duties untill they're at least teenagers, royal court made that clear.
Emily said:So is this why we don't usually see photos of the Belgian RF when they are out and about doing personal shopping, etc.? I had noticed the absence of casual photos of them and wondered why.
Alisa said:There have been photos (and documentaries) of the royal family doing casual things like the Duke and Duchess of Brabant going for a walk with their children or Mathilde making breakfast family and friends.
Hannelore said:There's never been any kind of official (or non official) 'deal' between the family and the press but there certainly exists respect towards them. From his engagement on (protocole used to be very harsh at Belgian court, but on his engagement Filip & Mathilde walked to the press and answered their questions, and when the cameras were off all the press people were invited for a drink where they could talk freely with the couple - something unseen up to then) Filip made it clear he wanted to share a lot of his life with the public, but that there should also be a bit of their life that's completely private. The press has always respected that.
photofan said:great pictures mette2!!!!!!!
Hannelore said:Yes but they were consulted about it first and they agreed.
When Mathilde goes shopping (I can only imagine clothes not groceries for some reason ) she isn't followed by photographers.
Sometimes you see paparazzi photos but only takes when they're abroad (so by foreign photographers)
