Philippe & Mathilde on economic mission to Saudi Arabia and the UAE - 23-29 October

Prince Philippe will be on an economic mission to Saudi Arabia from 23 Oct. to 28 Oct.

On 28 and 29 Oct, Princess Mathilde will accompany him on an economic mission to the United Arab Emirates.
 
Crown Princess Mathilde is likely to undertake some engagements with Princess Haya in UAE. I am looking forward to seeing photos and reports about this trip.
 
Mathilde is invited to an opera event which is held by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi's wife.
Will take place on Tuesday October 27.
Mathilde will arrive in the UAE ahead of her husband.
 
Thanks for the update!:flowers:
I wonder what kind of opera invent it will be. Are European opera singes going to be invited to perform? I am looking forward seeing Crown Princess Mathilde in a gorgeous gown.

Today Prince Philippe met with Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz Governor of Riyadh Region in Saudi Arabia
 
Thanks for the information! I am sure it will be a great event. Hopefully we shall be informed about singers in some news article.
 
First pics of the visit:

Prince Philippe conveyed greetings of Belgian King Albert II to the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques who in turn sent his greeting
to the Belgian king.

Mathilde will be battending a lunch in her honour hosted by Sheikha Fatima (Shk Zayed's late wife & crown prince of Abu Dhabi's mother).
Lunch will take place on Wednesday 28 November.
 
Here are some pics from the second day of the visit:

Crown Prince Philippe at Riyadh's Chamber of Commerce, October 25,
2009. He was given a portrait of himself, funnily without the beard
he is wearing since a few months :)

Thanks for the updates!
I find it interesting that Prince Philippe was presented the portrait. Traditionally Arab royals would present intricately decorated weapons such as swords or daggers. By the way, the beard makes Crown Prince Philippe look tired.

True but that would only be given by the royals I think and not the chamber of commerece.

Thanks for the clarification!:flowers:
Well ... a portrait is a somewhat unusual present ... I have to say ...

Thanks for the update!
I wonder whether or not Crown Princess Mathilde and Princess Haya will undertake any engagements.
 
I wouldn't say he looks like a clochard, that's a bit too hard.
Indeed I had to get used to the new look, but now that his beard is a bit more trimmed my opinion has evolved in a positive way.

I thing he looks more masculine. It gives him a little bit more charisma, because it shows he has made a choice in the way he looks against mainstream. That is what I call personality.
 
I too love seen Mathilde in her duties,she always looks so professional and a real princess,I can't wait to see both of them in Morocco next month,I am so excited about their visit.
