On the occasion of November 15, 2018, King's Day (Koningsdag), new official photos of Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were released. King’s Day has been celebrated in honour of the Belgian monarch since 1866, for more than 148 years. 15 November marks the first day of the Feast of Saint Leopold in the German liturgical calendar, while it is the Feast of Saint Albert in the Roman Catholic Calendar. |
Schöne Aufnahmen, keine Frage. Aber ich glaube, die Vorgänger-Bilder/Portraits der beiden, hätten es auch noch eine Weile getan. Ich meine, die zwei haben sich ja schließlich nicht sehr verändert.
ReplyDeleteOder muss das so sein?
Oh, that is one shiny dress!
ReplyDeleteAnd the tiara is too far back on the head. It also looks a little odd with the shadows in the faces, not so successful portraits in my opinion :(
To me both the shiny dress and position of the tiara ARE ok.
DeleteYes, completely agree.
DeleteThe dress seems radioactive.
DeleteDe Tiara zou rechter moeten staan maar het kleed is prachtig.Wat een mooi koningskoppel hebben wij.
DeleteSakurahime - agree.
DeleteBelle et royale!
ReplyDeleteMathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, koningin der Belgen, zeldzame klasse. Uniek.
ReplyDeleteQueen Mathilde gets younger and younger, beautiful !
ReplyDeletePhilippe hat Glück , dass er so eine Frau an seiner Seite hat !!
DeleteThey are a lovely couple and Mathilde looks always fantastic, but in this pic I have the feeling, that they are very much photoshopped (what is really NOT neccessary...)
ReplyDeleteThe king looks really different to his 'normal' daily appereance when I saw bigger versions of that pics.
Love the portraits . Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Love the colour and style of the dress
DeleteFELIPE Y MATILDE REYES!! Impecables, hermosísima reina
ReplyDeleteWhat a majestic dress and tiara. The Queen looks wonderful - love this colour and the dramatic style with the draping and stunning tiara. Lovely photos of the couple.
ReplyDeleteStunning.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors of Mathilde's dress and the sashes. Unfortunate 2nd photo, either the way her skirt hangs or the shadows, looks like she's wearing long pants. Lovely dress, but, as with all her dresses, it looks way too tight on top.
ReplyDeleteTiaras are rarely on straight, and Mathilde's is no exception.
Are these pictures new? Somehow they look so familiar. Did Mathilde wear that dress before?
ReplyDeletePictures are new and yes, she did wear this dress before.
DeleteThey both look so regal and soft at the same time. I think that’s why I really love this royal couple, they have this absolutely kind, soft natural way about them. The most dignified and warm of them all.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mathilde wore this gown to Albert & Charlene's wedding reception in Monaco and then in 2015 to Queen Margrethe's 75th birthday celebration in Denmark. I read that these particular photos are from January 2017, but I don't know for sure - so don't quote me!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are new but the dress isn't. She already wore it during the evening at Albert and Charlene's wedding in 2011.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteEine würdige , eine schöne Königin - das Bild dass sie abgibt hat Belgien mehr als nötig !!
