On December 19, 2024, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde paid a Christmas visit to the 'Open Deur' (Porte Ouverte) shelter in Brussels. Open Deur VZW provides shelter for homeless women aged 18 and older, with or without children, who are temporarily unable to live independently due to the loss of their home or other challenges.
During their visit, the King and Queen met with staff and residents. They also participated in a working meeting and shared a communal lunch. The Open Deur shelter accommodates women alone or with children who are temporarily unable to live independently, whether due to the loss of their housing or difficulties integrating into their usual living environment.
What a meaningful visit! It’s heartwarming to see King Philippe and Queen Mathilde support such an important cause. The work done by Open Deur is so vital, especially for women and children facing difficult circumstances. Their engagement with both staff and residents, as well as sharing a communal meal, truly shows their dedication to understanding and supporting the community.

DeleteSuperbe Mathilde vêtue de cette longue veste rouge portée sur l'association d'un chemisier et pantalon noirs ; j'aime bien qu'elle ait ressorti ces boucles d'oreilles !

DeleteI agree with you as seems to nearly always be the case so no need for me to add anything.
The Queen's hair has a lovely more casual look to it here. Maybe she's wearing is a bit longer, nice.
ReplyDeletet]This was a wonderful visit. Love her coat.
ReplyDeleteQueen Mathilde's new coat by Esmeralda Ammoun fits her well. The black pants and trousers are looking excellent with the coat. Her clutch and flat. shoes are green (there is green in the fabric of the coat). Her modern earrings are great.
ReplyDeleteMathilde looks lovely here - elegant. She seems like a nice kind natured person. Love the pic with the little child on her knee.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks so lovely in her red and black outfit. They both look very engaging with everyone especially the Queen, so caring.
