On January 20, Belgium's Queen Mathilde celebrates her 52nd birthday. Queen Mathilde is the first Belgian-born Queen of the Belgians. The Queen was born in Uccle on 20 January 1973. The Queen has four children: Crown Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel, and Princess Eleonore. On the occasion of her birthday, the Royal House of Belgium released two new portraits. The photos were taken by photographer Eva Donckers.
Happy birthday to Queen Mathilde.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo her makeup looks almost orange or maybe it's a fake tan as her arms also appear orange.
Hmm interesting observation. Hard to lie as the orange can also be the photographer’s touch ups / lighting / how the photos have been copied into this blog / light on your device. She doesn’t normally get her makeup wrong.
Delete@ Cate. The first picture is an old one. I do not understand what it has to do with her birthday pictures of today 20 January.
DeleteShe is such an elegant woman. Wishing her a very happy birthday .

Queen Mathilde always looks so pretty when wearing white, many look washed out in white but not her!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so lovely in white. Happy Birthday to a gracious and elegant queen!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Queen Mathilde!!! These are beautiful photos--especially the ones outside.

This morning the newspapers in Belgium found a new name for Queen Mathilde : "Snow White of Laeken".
ReplyDeleteThe pictures have been taken about 10 days ago when it snowed in Brussels. One took probably the opportunity to make pictures for her birthday in the snow at the park around the castle of Laeken.
Queen Mathilde is looking happy. I like her in this sporty parka with the white jumper underneath and probably snow boots on her feet. She is always looking good in the clothes she wears in private and during her holidays or at activities outside in nature.
I wish you a very happy birthday Your Majesty.
In fact this afternoon/evening she arrives together with King Philippe in Davos at the World Economic Forum where they will stay for approx. 3 days.
It’s lovely to see Queen Mathilde being celebrated with such a charming nickname! "Snow White of Laeken" perfectly captures the serene and graceful vibe of those snowy photos. She does have a knack for blending style with comfort, and the parka look definitely shows her more relaxed side. It’s great to hear that she’s so down-to-earth in her off-duty moments. Wishing Her Majesty a wonderful birthday!
DeleteTrès bon et joyeux anniversaire à la reine Mathilde qui est une belle dame avec beaucoup de classe ; j'adore la première photo pleine de douceur !

DeleteLa première photo est en effet une belle photo, mais ce n'est pas une nouvelle photo. Elle a été prise il y a quelques années lors d'un autre anniversaire. Je ne comprends pas ce que cette photo vient faire ici aujourd'hui le jour de son 52ième anniversaire.
En Belgique , les nouvelles photos dans la neige sont les seules qui ont été publiées dans les journaux, sur internet, aux sites de la monarchie belge et les autres sites concernant la reine Mathilde.
Moi j'aime bien ces photos dans la neige. La reine a l'air de trouver cela amusant aussi. La neige lui rappelle probablement son enfance dans les Ardennes à Bastogne.
Happy 52nd birthday to Queen Mathilde! What a remarkable milestone for the first Belgian-born Queen of the Belgians. It's always wonderful to see her celebrated, she has such a graceful presence in every image. Her dedication to both her family and her royal duties is truly inspiring. Wishing Her Majesty a joyous day filled with love and happiness!
ReplyDeleteQueen Mathilde stayed warm in a white roll-neck wool sweater under a navy long padded jacket, which was cinched at the waist with a belt. It looks like she kept her makeup natural, with a touch of blush on her cheeks and a swipe of pink lipstick.
ReplyDeleteIn the second photo, we get a full-length shot of her as she casually poses with her hands in her pockets, looking towards the camera. What a grace!
A very happy 52nd birthday to Q Mathilde. The pic her wearing the white dress is fantastic.
