I found this photo of Baudouin, Astrid and Albert with the caption «attended a concert in the Grand Auditorium of the Expo, for the National Days of Norway», dated May 20th 1958. Are there other photos of the Royals attending this event?

Each Country inaugurated its Pavillon and were received by the Royal family. They are Pictures of the president Coty of Franca , I think also the Shah of Iran ?.

Aha, they attended the national day at an Expo. (Sorry, I misread it and couldn’t understand why Baudouin and Albert would attend the Norwegian national day) Previous Message Each Country inaugurated its Pavillon and were received by the Royal family.

I am again misunderstood ! In 1958 we had in Brussels a World Expo , I think the first one after WW2. This was such an important event , that Brussels became afterwards the Capitale of Europe. So Princess Astrid inaugurated the Norway Pavillon and in the Evening there was a Concert in the Auditorium of Expo 58 where the Belgian Royals , here her Cousins ,attend..
