    Now this is a fabulous family photo. They are all spread across the landscape photo orientation so you can see them properly and the colours are cheerful to match their lovely smiles. Joyeux Nöel à tous!

    Beautiful family picture. Mathilde dress strikes just the right note. It has warm tones, fits perfectly, and complements her coloring. The children have grown up so quickly!

      I remember when Queen Mathilde wore that dress for the first time everybody said it didn't fit and Natan this and Natan that.,. Now everybody seems to like it. I like Princess Elisabeth's outfit too : beautiful blouse by Dries Van Noten, beautiful pants with a christmas detail on one of the legs. Princess Eleonore's little dress by Maje is so pretty. The King and his sons look very handsome too. The best royal Christmas photo I've seen this year.

    Je ne sais pas quel temps il y a en Belgique mais toute la famille a l'air bien réchauffée à moins que la photo ne soit pas récente- Trois styles de cravate pour ces messieurs ; ravie que Mathilde ait ressorti cette belle robe dont la jupe très légère avantage beaucoup sa silhouette ; la princesse Eleonore est toute mignonne dans cette petite robe à volants ; elle se féminise à vue d’œil comme sa sœur dans ces couleurs noire et rouge !

      La photo a été prise probablement dans le parc/jardin tout près du chateau de Laeken un jour qu'il faisait beau. Ou bien dans les serres du chateau.

    They are all beautiful. Love Queen Mathilde's dress and Princess Eleonore's dress. Crown Princess Elizabeth looks very modern in her navy blouse and orange (red?) pants. King Philippe, Prince Gabriel and Prince Emmanuel look quite dapper. The two younger children favor their dad, while the older two look like mom. Very nice photo.

    Beautiful family photo. I love the pops of color. I Eleonore's dress. I wish Elisabeth's body was angled slightly to the side so you could see the details on her pants. Does anyone know how tall Gabriel is?

    This is a beautiful photo. They are a tight knit family which is so lovely to see. Love the dress the Queen is wearing, vivid gorgeous colours of her dress, very becoming. The King and two Princes look very debonair and smart in their suits. The Princesses look lovely.

    Great photo of a loving family. The coordinating attire is flattering! I like the dress of the Queen and the trousers of the Princess.

    The royal family is growing, learning, evolving each into their own person, its interesting to watch with just tidbits of photos here and there. The parents have reason to be proud of all of them, the are well grounded and intelligent each in their own right. I wish them the best this holiday season, good luck on studies and dating and getting older day by day. You are a beautiful family!

    Nice family picture, but I much prefer the traditional Christmas greetings portraits.
