King's Feast 2004 - present

MAfan · Nov 17, 2009

However her nephew Prince Phillippe should get rid of that beard!

Completely agree, BMC, completely agree... :nonono:

Butterwicke · Nov 17, 2009

I must say... Queen Fabiola looks remarkably well for someone who has died twice within the past year.

They'll be calling her "Catwoman" soon, since it is becoming apparent that she is blessed with nine lives.
:hellokitty:

LOL! Butterwicke your post made me LAUGH OUT LOUD at my desk!

Vive la Reine!!

Just to add, I really like Prince Philippe's beard, it makes him look very distinguished! And as for poor Princess Claire...since when is a Royal princess of a reigning House unable to find someone to sit with her children??

I am sure there is a story there and I'd love to hear it...starting with why the nanny resigned before they could find her replacement?

I certainly hope that the story of one of the boys falling down the stairs isn't true. I just hope that everything is okay with their family.

Belgian police officers arrested Flemish right-wing party members after they shouted anti-monarchy slogans outside the Cathedral where the Te Deum Mass as per the Daylife links above.

melina premiere · Nov 16, 2011

I am happy to see that Prince Laurent and Princess Claire again in a official event. It is nice to see also the presence of Queen Fabiola at the mass.
I notice that Prince Philippe looks like more and more to his uncle the king Baudoin.

One question: why were the Flemish activists arrested? were they doing anything illegal?

BTW: I liked Mathilde's outfit except for the shoes and Astrid's was too funeral-like for my taste.
