On the occasion of that anniversary, King Albert's and Queen Paola's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren got together for a celebration. Belgian Royal Court released a family photo taken during that celebration. On July 2, 1959, Prince Albert got married to Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria who was born in a prince family in Italy.

    Ein schönes Bild.Ich möchte es fast „casual“ nennen. So als hätte der Fotograf gesagt: lasst uns mal schnell ein Foto machen..und es ist auch egal, wo wer steht.

      I thought exactly the same! I absolutely love how spontaneous this looks. Like a large family just mingling and quickly getting together for a photo instead of people posing and being positioned according to their "rank". Had been even better if Emmanuel and Gabriel weren´t in suit + tie, they are overdressed since everyone else is rather casual.
      Lastly, I like the body language of Paola and Albert. Looks so intimate and loving which is wonderful to see on an elderly couple.

    A nice, relaxed family photo. From what I can see Q. Mathilde’s dress and blouse outfit is beautiful. It looks like the fabric is soft and flows well. Maybe Nathan has finally run out of upholstery fabric lol. (V.M.)

      It's not the same dress. The colours are similar but the dress is different though.

    Ik zou tevreden zijn als Mathilde eens andere ontwerpers probeerde, de laatste tijd was het maar pover met haar outfits.

    My mother 80 years old says …
    "I remember princess Paola visited our country over 50 years ago. I have never encountered such a beautiful princess like Paola. She was really charming. "

    Oh, it's so nice to see Amadeo, and Lily again. And Unknown, I think princess Claire, stands behind, princess Astrid's husband. Also good to see Laurent and his children

    Lovely photo. Is there a key to say who everyone is for the younger royals?

    Things are not like they look at The picture. Family relation in the belgian royal family are not really good. But they had all to appear on the picture at this occasion. Mister Peter's comment had nothing to do here. After the personal problems between Albert and Paola they decided to pick up the pieces in 1984 and they found back their love for each other like so many other couples.
