Frederik & Mary @ Belgium's Prince Philippe's 50th

Over the weekend (23-24 April, 2010) Prince Philippe of Belgium (Duke of Brabant) and his wife Princess Mathilde (godmother to Isabella) have been celebrating his 50th birthday with numerous royal guests including Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her fiancé Daniel Westling, the Oranges, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, the Prince and Princess of Asturias of Spain, Felipe and Letizia, Infanta Cristina, the Grand Ducal couple of Luxembourg, Henri and Maria Teresa and many other royals from the Netherlands, Portugal, Europe generally and some Jordanian royals (not sure from news yet available). No photos yet. I have taken some pretty poor quality screencaps from the news clip from HLN.be - best I can give you at the moment. The royals and guests boarded a bus to transport them to an evening gala in the Royal Greenhouse at Laeken Castle on Friday, with a visit to the Magritte Museum during the day. Princess Máxima went shopping at Natan. On Saturday there was a brunch at the Plaza Hotel in Brussels.
