Only Filip changed his airforce uniform for one of the armed forces. I think that was a good choice. The Belgians wanted a sober ceremony so Mathilde wearing big jewels or changing clothes several times would not fit that intention.
We'll see the new Queen in glittering jewels once the time is right. Im looking forward to the first event she can wear the Provinces Tiara and it would be even better if some of the older pieces from Leopold III's collection were to show up on his grandson's queen.
