In the morning Queen Mathilde granted an audience to Antoine Sépulchre, the new director of Handicap International, one of Mathilde's patronages. They met at the Royal Palace in Brussels.

A few hours later, Mathilde attended the EU conference "European Child Guarantee: from engagement to reality" at the Egmont Palace in Brussels. 

The Guarantee is a European Recommendation that aims to create more equal opportunities for vulnerable children, by giving them free access to quality education, quality healthcare, sufficient healthy nutricion and adequate housing. 

The conference is part of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU.
