Private: Secret Birthday Party

23 April 2010

Philippe and Mathilde hosted a very private birthday party for Philippe's 50th birthday.

Among the 220 guests were many royal friends. The majority of the guests stayed at the Plaza Hotel in Brussels. From there a bus picked them up for the gala dinner and dance at the Laeken greenhouses.

Earlier in the day the royals had visited the Magritte Museum together - without Maxima who preferred to go shopping at Natan.

A few blurry shots were leaked to the press.

The next day, Philippe & Mathilde joined their guests for a brunch at the Plaza.
