Philippe & Eléonore open Villa Astrida

31 July 2023

Villa Astrida in Motril, the former private holiday home of King Baudouin (1930-1993) & Queen Fabiola (1928-2014) is from now on open to the public as a museum dedicated to the memory of King Baudouin. It's the place where he died unexpectedly in 1993.

King Philippe, Princess Eléonore (15), Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg and Spanish emeritus Queen Sofía officially opened the museum, exactly 30 years after Baudouin's death.

Eléonore was wearing a summer dress by Freeman T Porter, sandals by Les Tropeziennes and a "médaille astro" necklace by Maje, aries in Eléonore's case. Her sister Elisabeth has the same, with her own starsign of course. 

Other royals who were present: Prince Guillaume & Princess Sibilla of Luxembourg with their children Paul-Louis, Léopold and Charlotte, Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg, Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein and Princess Nora of Liechtenstein.

The VIP guests also attended a mass.

To commemorate the late King, Court published a few private photos.
