What a great picture Catherine! I really noticed the resemblance between Astrid and her son (who is probably roughly the same age now as Astrid then?). Kind of amusing to see Phillippe with such tousled, wind-blown hair; I always pictured him more as someone who was always perfectly coiffed.

Paola looks so glamorous in this picture, as casual as she is.

At this link (tip from Johann), you can see wonderful pics of the Begian RF at a classic concert at the royal palace. You can enlarge the pics by clicking on them, but I can't post them individually.
