On September 27, 2024, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium received Pope Francis at the Castle of Laeken in Brussels. After a welcome speech by the King, the Pope delivered a message to the nation in the presence of representatives of the established authorities, the Catholic Church, and other recognized religions in Belgium, civil society, and the diplomatic corps. Pope Francis will engage with students at the Catholic University of Louvain.
Queen Mathilde is wearing the white dress designed by Meer Couture which she wore in September 2023 for a visit at the Vatican. It is a lovely dress simple and stylish. This time she didn't wore the white mantilla like she did last year. King Albert II and Queen Paola also came to the castle in Laeken to meet Pope Francis as well as the leaders of the government and the catholic church. The leaders of other religions were also invited to meet with the pope. Between 17.00 and 18.00 the pope left Laeken to visit the Catholic University of Leuven where he was welcomed by the Rector and where he talked to the students.
ReplyDeleteMantilla, I think, is necessary only when she's visiting the Pope?
DeleteAnche se Papa Francesco lascia libere le dame di usare qualsiasi colore durante i loro incontri, bisogna ammettere che Mathilde di bianco è meravigliosa.

Pour cette rencontre particulière, Mathilde est beaucoup mieux vêtue de blanc !
ReplyDeleteThe queen looks absolutely stunning and elegant for this occasion. I very much like the way her hair is styled. It makes her look younger.
ReplyDeleteAnon. 27/9/2024, 17:28. I totally agree with you. And I wish more royal ladies will also cut their hair shorter!
DeleteThis elegant dress suits Queen Mathilde so well. It is so elegant and flattering for her frame. One of her best looks this year.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree. White/ivory for purity.
DeleteI agree 100%.
