Fortunately, the Belgian court is relatively relaxed/ informal, so they can get a little bit of practice before having to face the big guns like a State Dinner in the UK for example.

Madame Macron is mourning the death of her brother ...

What is alöso interesting ios that madame macron wore no Order. In Denmark she also wore no order at the State Banquet but it later became kown that she had received the Order of the Dannebrog like it is custom for the wife of foreign Presidents. So i wonder if she again choose not the bnelgian order or if she was not given in which seems unlikely as usuall wives of foreign Presidents get one. At last Daniela Schadt got one at he german State Visit a few years ago and she is not the spouse of the Presdient but his Partner.

Carla Bruni. S. received the Order of Isabella la Catholique.
If they are "Première Dame" during 5 years , not necesarry to give them an Order
