Crown Prince Philippe and Crown Princess Mathilde - Picture Thread

[Peaches]

Looking at all the photos that show what Matilde did before she married, it makes you wonder if this woman can do anything wrong. Belgium is lucky they have her as their future queen.

Those are really cute photos, Hannelore. I especially like Claire's expression in the second one.

June 2, 2004: princess Mathilde visited the plantgenetics department of the centre for agricultural investment in Melle (East-Flanders). The princess visited the labs and greenhouses where the flowers are grown. At the end of the visit she baptized a new kind of rose called "Mathilde" after her, with champagne of course!

Mathilde visits "Les Anémones" in Grez-Doiceau, an institution that cares for youngsters from a difficult social situation and mentally handicapped children and adults. Mathilde visits the refuge house for the youngsters and the residence of the mentally handicapped.

I am still wondering if anyone can post photos of them in Italy over the winter holidays? Do you suppose magazines will carry those images in future issues?

Me too Emily! I'm dying to see them. Isn't their anyone of the Belgian people around here, who has both the newspaper (Het Laatste Nieuws) and a scanner?

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

I have the paper but no scanner. But you'll be disappointed when you see them, it are just two small photos. One of Philippe and Emmanuel (just his back) and one of Philippe and Mathilde from a distance. Maybe a magazine like Story has them too?

I have the scanner, not the newspaper (I was too late ). But I'd rather see a very small picture, than see none at all. But I also think Story will publish them (at least I really hope they do!) I'll be keeping an eye on the magazine stores for the next week!

please do that would be really wonderful of you!

 

[Emily]

The only "foreign" magazines in our town are Spanish and I will check those for the photos when they arrive, and if they do have them I'll figure out how to post them. The only other problem here is the magazines from last week won't be here for two more weeks.

Fantastic photos, Cathérine. Thank you for posting them. Mathilde is very brave for trying gliding, and she looked like she had a good time. I didn't know she had done it before. I wonder if she's done any other 'scary' things like bungee jumping.

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

I know nothing about bungee jumping but I've once seen a photo of her and Philippe from before the engagement, when they went rafting.

Can you post it?
It's fun to watch Mathilde being all fearless next to Phillippe who's not a coward himself, they seem all pressed up but wild on the inside

Question: why wasn't Phillippe with her while she was gliding? Some kind of security issue?
