Some Belgian Royals!

 Somehow, I've not posted too often about the Belgian royals, not for any particular reason, it just seems that they don't appear as often in the news or whatever. But now that King Albert II has stepped down, Mathilde and Philippe are now the reigning monarchs! Yay for Queen Mathilde, what a beautiful name! Here are some not-so-recent pics of our lovely Belgian royals:
