Visit to Liège

29 September 2026

On their provincial visit, King Philippe & Queen Mathilde made a stop at Le Bercail in Liège, a residential daycare centre for adults with a mental impairment.

At the Place Saint-Lambert the royal couple made time to greet the public.

A new lady-in-waiting?

Then they went to Seraing to visit the Val Saint-Lambert crystal factory that celebrates its bicentenary.

After a worklunch where two themes were discussed (industrial reconversion and mental health & addiction issues), they made a visit to the factory and were given a glassblowing demo.
