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:

Glamorous Royals

Crown Princess Mathilde and Crown Prince Philippe of Belgium. Mathilde most often wears this olive leaf diamond tiara.

Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands in a striking silver and red dress, which is reminiscent of something that the Red Queen, from the Alice in Wonderland book, Through the Looking Glass, might have worn.

Maxima has many tiaras that she wears, and this is one of the largest. It was worn often by  Queen Juliana of the Netherlands.

Crown Princess Mathilde of Belgium.

Crown Prince Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway.

Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco, consort to King Mohammed VI of Morocco, is the first wife of a Moroccan ruler to have been publicly acknowledged and given a royal title.
