Something funny happened; Queen Fabiola came first and took place on the last Chair on the left side. Was it on purpose ? but doing that she was sitting next to princess Mathilde, she likes very much to speak with during the Defilé.
Queen Paola arrived and asked her to sit next to her , she did it but the two Queens did not communicate as usual. next to Queen Fabiola the shy Prince Philippe and she spoke to Princess Mathilde as usual....

The King is not taking the Queen’s arm as King Baudoin did with Queen Fabiola, but I saw the HM King needs Queen Paola 's wife ’s arm to walk safely.

 Thanks for the photos.
Everyone seemed happy, in good spirits and it was nice to see the twins, too!
I really enjoyed seeing the affection, as usual  , between the king and queen, who was very elegant and beautiful... sorry but I adore her

I think I saw a photo of Prince Philippe helping Queen Fabiola walk down the aisle which was rather touching.

I dearly hope Fabiola will be able to attend the wedding in Luxembourg, I think she will be thrilled to be there.
