Thanks for all the pictures. The couple have been busy on this visit with a few events per day.
Mathilde at the rlington National Cemetery looked nice but would've rather seen her in a different headpiece.

Crown Princely couple's economic mission to the USA appears to be going smooth as usual. I agree with dazzling noting that Crown Princess Mathilde's headpiece is awkward.

Nice to see Princess Elena attending the lunch.

Does anyone know where in Boston Philippe and Mathilde will be today and tomorrow? There has of course been no coverage in the local media.

The first of these two links is a real good one as it gives a good overview on the attended events.
Mathilde has obviously left a bit earlier, she has no events listed in Boston and will already attend
an event in Belgium today.

Thanks a lot for posting, stephanievl! By the way, I think you've meant Princess Cristina in yesterday's
post, haven't you?
