The Belgian Royal Family celebrated National Day with a series of events on July 20th. The day commemorates July 21st, 1831 in which Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha swore allegiance to the new Belgian constitution, thus becoming the first Head of State of an independent state of Belgium under a constitutional monarchy and parliament.

In the afternoon, King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel, and Prince Eléonore, Princess Astrid, Prince Lorenz, Prince Laurent, and their newly recognized sister, Princess Delphine, watched the civil and military parade on the Square in front of the Royal Palace in Brussels, where the Duchess of Brabant participated as an ‘apprentice officer of Belgium’.
🇧🇪 Deze beelden zeggen zoveel. De reactie van prinses Astrid, papa’s lieveling en dus jarenlang per definitie tegen Delphine. Ze kijkt om, zoekt Delphine, wacht haar “nieuwe” halfzus op en wandelt al babbelend met haar richting het koninklijk paleis. Een teken van aanvaarding. pic.twitter.com/tsaa6TXdcx
