At 10:00 there was the traditional Te Deum mass at the Saints-Michel-et-Gudule cathedral in Brussels.

The Royal Couple and the Crown Princess made a superior "flag dressing" effort!
These photos, taken by Bas Bogaerts, were shared with the public a day later: King Philippe posing with his two eldest children, both in the their uniforms of the Royal Military Academy. They were taken before the parade.
Elisabeth was wearing a new dress by The Kooples, her mother's Delvigne clutch and Percossi Papi earrings. Eléonore had changed into a new Maje model.
At 21:00 the Royal Family and all four children attended the "Happy Belgium" concert at the Cinquantenaire.

Laurent & Claire had brought their 3 children along, while Delphine & Jim were accompanied by their daughter, Josephine O'Hare.
🇧🇪 Welcoming Delphine into the Belgian royal family is perhaps King Philippe’s greatest act as “new” head of the family. Check out this video. Delphine gets a warm greeting by Queen Mathilde, gives Philippe a pat on the back herself, socializes with Claire.pic.twitter.com/y32HHUhj9S
