Nothing about this Event on RTBF news.
Only one sentence that Queen Paola's Operation was succesful.

The Dutch VTM Royalty on Sunday stopped for the succesful "Blind getrouwd".

The End also for magazine Royals in our two languages .
 
During Albert II Reign , the best place to see our Royals , giving flowers etc.. was on February 17th annual Mass for the deceased members of our Royal Family at the Church of laeken. Everbody knew that during this day the Belgians would see their King and Queen , their 3 Children and Queen Fabiola.

When Prince Alexandre passed away we saw Princesses Lea and Esmeralda.

This year we saw more Members of the RF of Luxembourg than from Belgium Main Branch.
There is no dress code but normally in Belgium for this Mass , dark color is the best.
Queen Fabiola had a special dress code , but so was our beloved late Queen.
 
As I said earlier, it is strange that the Argenteuil branch eems to be the most promminent members of the RF at this event - next to the king and queen. How times have changed.

Nice to see so many Luxembourg relatives there.

The Belgian RF usually takes quite a bit of time for a chat and a talk with the crowd.

Last year , the public was completely separated from the Royals because of the Events of Paris. There were Critics.
This year a School from Laeken ? was admitted when they came out of the Church and some happy few.

Thankfully yes! She must have arrived a little bit later!

When eya and I had posted the gallery links above she had not yet been included. Eya's gallery has been updated in the meantime, mine will maybe be updated later as well. Eya also added that information later on.
 
Great to see our Queen back, much better dressed than her daughter but looking frail.

When was the last time that the entire family was present at an event? Was it Fabiola's funeral?
 
That's quite an event, the whole family together...though I won't believe it until I'll see it.

Inauguration by the King and the Queen of the Exhibition of Charles , Count of Flanders King Albert I second Son..
I saw the Exibition . the Prince has been our Regent between 1945-1950 and did great work for Belgium until his Brother came back !
After he lived banned in Raversijde where he became a Painter and never saw his siblings and his Mother who always preferred Leopold to him.

I was told King Philippe was delighted about this Exhibition with Documents from the Royal Palace Archieves.
Our Royal palace is to visit for free until beginning September. Closed of Monday.

To day important Auction of a belgian famous bookseller.

The item 442 was 3 albums containing 3245 pictures and postcards of our Royal Family from King Leopold III and Queen Astrid (1385) King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola ( 650) Prince Albert of Liege (10).

On TV and in newspaper they spoke about that. The seller is not a member of the Royal Family but probably a relative of the royal photograph.

The whole story of our royal family whose low estimation between 1500 and 1800 euros was sold only 2000 euros. Unknown buyer , no telephone calls and no bit in the Auction House.

Yesterday I went in our Museées Royaux d' Art et d' Histoire MRAH in Brussels.
We have a new Found Jean Capart whose Président is HRH Princess Alexandra who was there too such as the Ambassador of Egypt in Belgium.
Jean Capart , our well know egyptologue went with Queen Elisabeth and Prince Leopold (Princess Esmeralda's Father) in Egypt the day after the discovery of Toutankhamon's Tomb.
They said the Queen was delighted but asked such a lot of questions disturbing the the Archeologues 's work. She did another visit and was adked not to come anymore!
We still have la Fondation Egyptologique Reine Elisabeh such as the world known Concours de Musique Reine Elisabeth.
Our greatest Queen !
