Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset anyone; I’m also looking forward to the state banquet, especially the tiaras worn by the young princesses. What would please me most is if Queen Paola had finally passed Queen Elisabeth’s diamond bandeau on to her son, King Philippe, so that one of his daughters can wear it. Of course, I’m also looking forward to seeing the handsome Prince Gabriel; perhaps, like his grandfather King Albert II used to, he’ll wear a «white Tie Uniform» – that always looked so good.

My thread was not about Princess Anne.

It is a long time we did not see Princess Astrid , Prince Lorenz, Prince Laurent and Princesss Claire at State Events

Yes, that’s right, I was just thinking back to those lovely photos of Queen Mother Elizabeth with her grandchildren, King Charles III and Princess Anne – oh, they were so lovely; I’ll never forget them.

King Albert II and Emperor Emeritus Akihuto are the last survivals of Queen Elisabeth II Coronation on June 2 1953.
The Crown Prince of Japan was introduced to King Baudouin A close relationship started between 2 Generations and for Emperor Naruhito Baudouin and Fabiola were his European Parents.
Born both on 1960 King Philippe has already the Collar of the Chrysanthemum and Queen Mathilde the Sash of the Precious Crown.
Princess Elisabeth will award the Order of the Chrysanthemum. (Thanks to Kongetro)
The Emperor and Empress will receive our first Order the Leopold Order . We never had collars.
Prince Gabriel, Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz, Prince Laurent and Princess Claire have the Leopold Order . Will they receive a Japanese order ? Prince Emmanuel and Princess Eleonore have no Order at all.
