Thank you, Cathérine, very much for the video. I have heard Mathilde speak Dutch and French, but never English, so it was nice to hear. I know I always say how great she is, but she shows a great deal of compassion and kindness for everyone she meets. I enjoyed looking at the photos, so thank you also to everyone who posted them. :)

Thank you all for the photos and the video. I just love seeing the Duchess in action on her solo visits to nations like Tanzania. She is always sooo elegant, professional, and yet very down to earth. Belgium and Phillippe is sooo very luck to have her.
