Prince Gabriel Plays His Part

17 April 2024

Apart from the Luxemburg state visit to Belgium, King Philippe managed to cram another major activity into his busy day: a reception at the Royal Palace in Brussels, ahead of the Special European Council.

This was part of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

But surprise, Prince Gabriel (20) was present as well, as part of the honorary salute brought by the Royal Military Academy.

Dad couldn't hide his pride and had a chat with his son ...

Proud dad King Philippe spotted Prince Gabriel as he arrived for reception of the European council, Heads of State and the Government at the Royal Palace.
