They could have been in Brussels for our National Day , the 5th years of King Philippe's Reign and the 25th years of King Baudouin death.
So only King Philippe and Queen Mathilde don't vote?
And Amedeo, Joachim and Luisa-Maria? Do they currently live outside Belgium?
Joachim was living in South Africa last I heard.
I still think they (both in Belgium and Luxembourg) should not only request the king and queen not to vote but also the direct heirs as first they are asked to choose a position (although they could decide to refrain by not checking any candidate) and later on are supposed to be neutral. If an exception is made for the king and even the queen the same should apply to the direct heir.
What is Joachim doing in South Africa?
The king & queen don't vote to stay neutral.
As voting is compulsory in Belgium, the other royals do vote.
Laura, Luisa & Laetitia (too young to vote) are all living in London.
Amedeo lives is Switzerland.
Joachim was living in South Africa last I heard.
Yes Hanelore you are right. But Queen Poala went to a Concert recently and looked well. She could have come to the Royal Palace. But???
BB has a nice coverage of the family as well:

What does the "light of peace" signify?
