The Belgian royal family participated a mediatized celebration of Queen Fabiola's 80th birthday at Laeken castle. Fabiola's Spanish relatives and her cousin, Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg & Archduke Carl Christian of Austria were also present.
Baby Eléonore was 7 weeks old.
Fabiola wasn't the only one to be celebrated: there were 3 chocolate cakes, as King Albert had just turned 74 and Princess Astrid had just turned 46. It were the children who were allowed to blow out the candles.
In her typical spontaneous style, Fabiola got up to give a warm speech (in French & Dutch). The noise by the clicking of the cameras in the dome however was a bit surreal for this family occasion.
