In the seventies Paola posed for a photo shoot of Lord Lichfield, a relative of queen Elizabeth. The result is very glamorous, but caused also a stirr in Belgium, not yet quite used to such photos...

These kind of remind me of the photos Olivier Polet made now of Filip and Mathilde.

They're wonderful.
