Princess Mathilde looks gorgeous and the prince is soooooo sweet with her

Hello "Amira"

I think the same , but the photo where Philippe given his wife a kiss look posed!!
His eyes looked in the cameras!!

In my opinion Philippe know for a fact that cameras nearby!!
My opinion is that the photos look better when the couple feel are completely alone.
It looks spontaneously.

He learned have a way with the media! Before he was married he had a bad posture
and he was nervous. He has stiff movements!!

And now: He looks very happy and he becomes relaxed or easygoing.
I don't know he has a team of media-advisers?!

But he should chance his trousers!! I burst out laughing if I saw the photo as Philippe
pay a visit Mathilde in the hospital after the birth of Gabriel. His trousers are at
half-mast!!

The other thing is he has a beer belly !! Ha, ha, ha!!!

It doesn't really look like a kiss to me. I think he's just whispering something to her.

AFFECTIONATE GESTURE FROM PHILIPPE FOR PREGNENT MATHILDE!



4 MAY 2005

http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2005/05/04/belgianroyals/#enviarHard working Belgian royals Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde showed there's always room for little gestures of affection – even while carrying out official duties.

The couple were attending an official awards ceremony in Brussels when the crown prince shared an intimate moment with his pregnant wife, putting his arm around her and whispering in her ear.

Mathilde is expecting her third child - a sibling for three-year-old Princess Elisabeth, who is second in line to the throne, and her 20-month-old brother Prince Gabriel – in October.

She and Philippe were on hand at the Royal Palace in Brussels to see Malian minister Ousmane Sy receive this year's King Baudouin International Development prize.

Thanks Hannelore for those wonderful pictures , what a beautiful couple

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Really beautiful!Thanks lots Hannelore.

 

[Hannelore]

Mathilde looks really wonderful in this pictures. Is she very tall? I often think that she is photographed from bad angles (eg bottom-up) and that she looks out of proportion, but in these photographs she is just fantastic.

yes she is tall, I don't know exactly how tall but she should be about 180 cm I think.

 

[Snoepy]

sweet filip and mathilde

hello it had been notable me that filip and mathilde are very sweet against each other there are many sweet pictures of them perhaps you have pictures of them were there doing a sweet gesture to each other.srry my englisch suckz

 

[Snoepy]

here's a picture

 

[Snoepy]

this one is sweet
is he kissing here?

 

[Snoepy]

she already have a little bump

 

[Danielle]

Thank you very much everyone for posting the photos and articles. Aww, Mathilde and Philippe are just the sweetest couple. I love how even though they are in the public eye, they still have time to show their love and respect for each other. It brings a tear to ones eye. As I have said before, they are both an inspiration.

 

[martha-louise]

yes she is tall, I don't know exactly how tall but she should be about 180 cm I think.

Don't forget Mathilde always wears high-healed shoes. I think she is about 176-178cm and Philippe 184-186cm .

What I like about them is that they show they are in love by very polite and tender gestures. They don't 'hanging' on each other all the time. And what is very remarkable is that this was the couple who didn't give a kiss on the mouth on their wedding, but after al seems to be the most affectionate couple.

 

[Reina]

I think she is the most natural wife, and crown princess. SHe doesn't have to try to act like one-she is. ANd she is naturally beautiful and graceful.

 

[carlota]

i agree definetely. mathilde has such a glow, a natural elegance and beauty, but doesn't seem to want to be the centre of attention, and that's really good. also, people adore her and she seems to be really sweet and caring. just the perfect queen...

 

[eireann]

Well, I guess she's pretty tall...but surely the other CPs like Mary and Letiza are also quite tall...and they are rarely photographed from the strange angles like Mathilde is. A good example are the 3rd and 4th pictures on the previous page posted by Catherine. It just makes me angry...cos I think she's great but these photos do her a disservice.

 

[Snoepy]

yes, our right eireann
here heat looks soooo long
