Princess Eléonore turns 17 today. Born on April 16, 2008, in Anderlecht, she is the fourth child of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. Since the summer of 2023, Princess Eléonore has been studying in English at the International School of Brussels. To mark the occasion, the Royal House of Belgium released new photos of the Princess, taken by photographer Bas Bogaerts.
Princess Eléonore plays the violin and enjoys sports such as skiing, sailing, and tennis. She is fluent in French, Dutch, and English. Princess Eléonore lives with her parents, her sister Crown Princess Elisabeth, and her two brothers, Prince Gabriel and Prince Emmanuel, at the Royal Palace of Laeken.
Une princesse de plus en plus jolie ; bon et heureux anniversaire à elle !

A day after her father King Philippe turned 65 yesterday, Princess Eléonore became 17 today.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful girl! She has her mother’s gentle smile. The outfit is perfect for her - casual elegance. It will be so interesting to watch her fashion choices as she continues to mature. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI agree casual elegance
DeleteBeautiful fresh looking young girl in a nice outfit, not overdressed, with too much make up or over the top jewellery.
ReplyDeleteYes pretty like her grandma
DeleteWhat gorgeous photos. She is beautiful. Love the naturalness of her, not much makeup, delicate necklace, chic but casual looking. Stunning Princess.
ReplyDeleteHappy 17th birthday to a lovely young girl. Time sure passes fast, yesterday a sweet little toddler, today a beautiful young woman. Nice spring outfit.

Beautiful Eléonore. Sorry, Mr Bogaerts; but the 3rd photo in its entirety makes it look like she has only one arm. ~~Ruthie
ReplyDeleteYou know, you're right. Someone should have caught that.
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to this wonderful Princess!!
ReplyDeleteHer artistic self shines through also in her delicate traits.
Beautiful princess, terrible photos. Rem
ReplyDeleteTerrible photos - you are right, Rem.
DeleteWhat a pity, she surely deserves better.
I find the photos very beautiful and natural, as is the princess.
DeleteI like the photos too. There have been taken more photo's of the princes and princesses at these windows in the Castle of Laeken.
DeleteAt least one photo looking at the camera would have been nice. These images look a little too posed and stiff/awkward. JMO.
ReplyDeleteThe photographer will have taken many photos and then the family will have chosen a subset of those… and then whoever published this post added a subset of the subset!
DeleteWonderful pictures of this beautiful princess!
ReplyDeletePrincess Eléonore looks very beautiful in her orange pants and white top. Both pieces have been bought at Zara's. I also like her delicate jewelry. She is dressed according her age. She is not imitating super stars or actresses and do not use heavy make-up that makes her look older than she is. Her make-up is soft and delicate and no black nail polish like some young girls are wearing these days.
