3 September 2021

Mathilde's family was present at the funeral of their uncle and brother-in-law, Count Henri d'Udekem d'Acoz at the Sint-Bertinus church of Poperinge.

Mathilde's brother, Count Charles-Henri d'Udekem was among the coffin bearers, alongside his cousins. 

Mathilde's sister Margravine Elisabeth Pallavicini read one of the intentions.

Charles-Henri and his cousin, Count Bernard d'Udekem who's inherited his uncle's castle, spoke about Henri.

Mathilde and her family weren't able to attend the funeral because of a corona infection among one of the children. Before they knew about the infection, they did however visit Henri's widow Marie Madeleine Kervyn at castle Couthof where they also greeted Henri's body, which was laid out in the castle chapel.
