So sorry there is no close-up of this photo. The way Princess Elizabeth is leaning in her mum and touching her "new baby" . 20 points to the atmosphere created for their big sons, we can see clearly how tender and thoughtfull this parents are.
Congratulations to these members who keep us updated in new photos and news.
Such wonderful photos of a truly beautiful family! The Duchess looks amazing. Very few women look so wonderful after a natural, hard, anesthesia-free labor.
Oh absolutely Alisa. When I had my children (also without an epidural), I didn't only feel like a truck had ridden me over, I looked like it too I'm afraid... Mathilde looks fantastic, a very sweet and naturally beautiful mother, a real princess :)
These photos are so touching, I love them! That warm family atmosphere, and they were taken in a hospital!
Wait untill you see the video ... :) I just saw it on the tv news, and they don't only look great, they sound great as well, Elisabeth's Flemmish is perfect, at (nearly) 4 she's aready perfectly bilingual and so will Gabriel & Emmanuel be, the most beautiful gift the dukes of Brabant could give to Flanders!!
The latest addition to the Belgian royal family slumbered in regal style throughout his debut photoshoot this week.
Emmanuel Leopold Guillaume François Marie, the newborn son of Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde of Belgium, snoozed happily as his proud parents and older sister proudly presented him to the world at the Erasmus Hospital in Brussels where he first made his entrance on Tuesday.
