On September 26, 2024, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium welcomed His Holiness Pope Francis at Melsbroek Air Base, northeast of Brussels. After a brief welcome ceremony, Pope Francis traveled to the Apostolic Nunciature, where he will reside during his stay in Belgium. On the morning of Friday, September 27, Pope Francis will be received at the Castle of Laeken for a meeting with the Belgian King and Queen.

Kind of hard to see too much but Queen Mathilde looks quite elegant here. Simple, pretty black dress and beautiful up-do.

The Queen looks very elegant, this outfit is appropriate for this visit. She looks fabulous.
ردحذفBeautifull Mathilde in an very elegant simple dress.
ردحذفShe looks a nun!
ردحذفA nun? I fail to see what´s nun-like about Mathilde´s dress. I agree with the above remarks that she looks fabulous in her simple black dress. It´s so easy to look good in this kid of dress.
حذفIs that a compliment…
حذفHahaha! Have never seen a 'nun' in a short, knee length dress, with high heels and head uncovered. You are a troll.
حذف???
ردحذفElégante dans cette robe noire qui convient pour recevoir le Pape !
ردحذفShe is a nun 🤭🥺
ردحذفWe understood your previous comment, do you have any other suggestions?
حذفFound something to make Queen Mathilde ridiculous ? I never saw a nun with high heels, beautiful legs, elegant attitude,....
حذفSame as with GD Maria Teresa - I wonder why QM doesn't use her protocol priviledge to wear white.
ردحذفI don't wish to explain all the traditions of the church and queens. In the past according to different countries we have been able to read all kind of discussions and different opinions about that. The only thing I know is that Pope Francis is someone who is not impressed by all these old traditions. And it is not the visit of a queen to the Vatican, but the pope who is coming to Brussels.
حذفThe only thing which is a bit unusual is that Queen Mathilde wears no coat although It was very bad weather in Belgium, it has been raining all night, strong wind and 9° C. King Philippe on the other hand is wearing an overcoat, which is a smart decision, I think.
I think the "privilège du blanc" is during an audience with the pope, as opposed to here when the pope leave sthe Vatican for a visit. Correct me if I'm wrong if anyone knows more.
حذفQM has so much grace and elegance. She looks stunning. Lovely pictures with the pope and the funny combination of soldiers and children.
ردحذفI am not catholic. I don't care about catholic traditions. I am particuarly not fond of this pope. But one thing I know for sure the PR department of the Royal Belgium House will know what to wear and when to wear better than the random commenter on this blog.
