The royal couple and their four children were present at the traditional Te Deum mass at the Saints Michel et Gudule cathedral in Brussels.
Elisabeth was very much the centre of attention. Not only did she look gorgeous in her Natan dress, Percossi Papi earrings and Gianvito Rossi heels, she's also clearly been given a place in the spotlight these past months.

Eeven though the king & queen have refused an annual dotation for their heir for the time being, Elisabeth's unofficial training has clearly taken a start with Belgian and international activities, when she's away from school.
Elisabeth was heard saying to a wellwisher that she's "very happy" in Wales where she's finishing her secundary studies with an international baccalaureate.
Prince Gabriel (nearly 16) who's by now the tallest member of the royal family, had his foot in a (black) plaster because of a sports injury.
By 18:30 queen Mathilde had changed into another dress to visit the laidback party activities at the Parc de Bruxelles.
At 23:00 the royal family took their first row seats for the fireworks that concluded the festivities. For the first time all four children accompanied them.
The duchess of Brabant had changed into an airy Zimmermann dress.
