Cute picture of Josephine-Charlotte, Baudouin, Albert and their spouses in the newspaper today.
 
Thanks for posting that photo! I believe Princess Astrid had a simular photo made with her own family. And I remember that the children of Empress Zita also posed for pictures like this.
 
Indeed, you could see the photo of Princess Astrid's family when she was interviewed recently: clip
 
Old pictures ..

Family tradition? :flowers:

Nice idea but what a strange place to display them!
 
.

Prior to the annual opening of the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken (April 19 - May 10, 2019), the Palace has shared some photos/paintings from the past taken at the greenhouses:


** Pic 1 ** Pic 2 ** Pic 3 ** Pic 4 ** Pic 5 **
 
.

On the occasion of Emperor Akihito's abdication the Palace has shared some photos of meetings between the then reigning Belgian couples and the Imperial couple:

:previous: Is the lady who is holding Princess Astrid at her 1962 baptism a midwife?
 
I remember Prince Laurent did not want to join them at the Vatican.

Some old photos, I hadn't seen the first one. In the third one I see a resemblance between little Prince Amedeo (ha was always a doll!) and little Prince Gabriël.

Laurent REALLY does look like his father, much more so than his brother :eek:
I think the rumors about his paternity never really took off (even if people did talk about it) because of the family resemblance, it's just undeniable.
