A brand new initiative: a (menatl health?) symposium will take place led by Mathilde ...
The very first "Symposium of Her Majesty The Queen" was dedicated to mental health among children and teenagers. It was organized by the Académie Royale de Médecine de Belgique that Queen Mathilde is patron of.
During her opening address, Queen Mathilde emphasized the importance of a holistic approach when dealing with mental health problems, just as prevention, early detection, care and the personal involvement of the young person are essential.

Tonight Crown Princess Elisabeth (20) is sitting for this year's final exams in Oxford. When she's finished she will immediately leave for Belgium, as she's got an official activity planned for tomorrow, baptizing a ship. Later in the week she'll open a new technology lab at Leuven University. These two activities will be the first the Princess performs solo.
Meanwhile, the Dutch heir to the throne, Princess Amalia (18) has spoken about the contact she keeps with Elisabeth, in an interview today:
"We live in different countries so we use social media, Whatsapp ... What I really appreciate about Princess Ingrid and Princess Elisabeth, because we're in the same position we understand each other immediately. We don't have to explain anything. It's so nice to just be able to talk to each other about very basic things in life that are different from other people's lives. We understand each other."
