Another picture that was shared yesterday by Prince Aymeric:

As a side note, it's interesting that King Albert's grandchildren follow the tradition (that dates back to King Christian IX!) to call their grandfather Apapa. Also the late King Constantine II of Greece was called like that by his grandchildren

Nice! I hoped the Royal Palace would release a new photo for the occasion, and that's really a lovely picture of the couple

The picture was taken in the garden of their villa in Chateauneuf-de-Grasse. According to VRT, last weekend the family gathered there to celebrate the anniversary:

Queen Paola (87) has fallen. She injured her foot and must now rest for four weeks. That is why she cannot accompany King Albert (90) to King's Day in Brussels next Friday.

Koningin Paola is gevallen en moet op doktersbevel vier weken rusten

Koningin Paola (87) is gevallen. Ze heeft zich daarbij verwond aan haar voet en moet nu vier weken rust houden. Daarom kan ze volgende week vrijdag koning Albert (90) niet vergezellen naar Koningsdag in Brussel.

A lovely valentine's date for King Albert and Queen Paola. They have attended a masterclass by Sir András Schiff.
They look very well!

It’s lovely to see Queen Paola looking so well. Was really worried after seeing her at the Queen Paola Foundation event when she looked quite frail.

Really nice to see that Queen Paola has recovered well, and also a good caption from the Royal Palace social media.
Many royal meetings for Sir András Schiff these past days!

Queen Paola was sitting next to Bernard de Launoit's brother Comte Yvan de Launoit. On a Picture I saw in red Archduchess Robert of Habsbourg.

I think you mean Archduchess Rudolf, right? I hadn't noticed her, but she's indeed the woman in red in pic n.16. She's known to be on friendly terms with the Belgian royal family.

 

[maria-olivia]

yes , it is Archuchess Rodolphe second wife , born Princess Anna Gabriele von Wrede. Sorry for my mistake
