Christmas Concert 2018

19 December 2018

King Philippe, Queen Mathilde and their children, Crown Princess Elisabeth (17), Prince Gabriel (15), Prince Emmanuel (13) and Princess Eléonore (10) attended the traditional Christmas concert at the royal palace in Brussels.

Prince Gabriel hurt his foot. According to Court it's nothing serious, just a minor incident.

Princess Eléonore carried a "candle of peace" that was handed to her by an Austrian boy scout.

They were joined by former King Albert II, Princess Astrid & Prince Lorenz.

The Duchess of Brabant is enjoying a month of Christmas holidays before returning to her boarding school in Wales.

King Philippe told journalists he plans to take quality time off to be with his family. It isn't clear whether he will be joining them on holidays, as the government has just resigned.
