Oh, Catherine, thank you! I love this set of photos. I am looking forward to Hola arriving in the bookstore in another week so I can take a closer look!
Great cover indeed! I believe the picture was taken in Brussels where Archduchess Maria Gabriella was confirmed (daughter of Carl Christian and Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg)
I'm really disappointed that even if she in half Polish she doesn't speak our language. What a shame. I hope she know a few sentences. Anyway, our media make a big deal that we will have Polish queen in Belgium.
Don't forget that beautiful close-up photo of Mathilde on the "Royals hors série"-cover (September/October 2010): Royals Hors Série
Especially the Crown Princess' delicate diamond earrings look just wonderful on her -I've seen them on the magazine's actual cover and I do hope she'll wear them again at some important event.
