On June 4, 2024, Belgian Queen Mathilde attended the award ceremony of the International Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition 2024 at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Waterloo. Queen Mathilde presented the Queen Elisabeth Grand Prize 2024 to the winner Ukrainian violinist Dmytro Udovychenko. In recent weeks, 63 violinists from the four corners of the world competed in the Queen Elisabeth Competition.
The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel is a Belgian academic institution for artistic training of young musicians, and was established by Queen Elisabeth of Belgium.
Je trouve cette robe affreuse ! :(
ردحذفLe motif flou fait mal aux yeux.
Mais peut-être veut-elle être assortie aux couleurs du drapeau.
Paloma.
Too shapeless and I don´t like the print nor the colours.
ردحذفHm, i don't like the pattern, like silkpainting for beginners...
ردحذفThat’s not a pretty pattern or style, she’s allowed to have a bad, todays that day.
ردحذفThis look is very Queen Max-ish.

حذفNow, now, now, be careful where you tread.
Queen Max's supporters can become violent at the drop of a dressmaker's pin. Double lock your door tonight.
Very unflattering outfit for Queen Mathilde - in my opinion. She appears to be much older than she is.
ردحذفI don`t like either the pattern nor the shape of the dress - and the hat does not improve anything ...
This dress is a bit hard on my eyes.
ردحذفToo much going on.
Queen Mathilde wore this dress last year when the German speaking countries (Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Belgium) held their annual reunion. I loved it more last year, she didn't wore a hat and her hair was not in an up do. She wore an orange handbag and orange shoes, I think. The earrings were the same she is wearing today. The gems could be citrines or yellow diamonds or other yellow/orange stones. I think it is time she'd made the dress a bit shorter. It could be a big improvement.
ردحذفBelgium, german speaking, since when?
حذف@Anon 19:08 Belgium has in fact 3 official languages - german, french and dutch
حذفCa. 75.000 ( weniger als 1 % ) sprechen Deutsch als Muttersprache. Ist es ein Akt der freundlichen Höflichkeit (historisch gesehen), dass Deutsch auch Amtssprache ist?

حذفNever heard of the Belgian region Malmédy, Sankt-Vith, Eupen.... ?
This was German territory before one of the 2 WW, I think after the 2nd World War it was given to Belgium by the Germans as a retribution/indemnity for the disaster they had caused to the country and the Belgians. If one day you pass in Belgium along the German border you could pay a visit to the region which is very touristic, beautiful nature and good restaurants.
12.09, historicly completly incorrect, sorry
حذف@Anonymous 19:08
حذفYou are right. I googled the subject and it is more complicated than what I remembered from my history lessons. After the first WW the Treaty of Versailles 1920 decided that Belgium got Eupen and Malmédy. Belgium nor Germany was asked for their agreement. After the second WW there were again difficulties of which country was getting which part. After the people who lived in these parts were consulted, the majority has chosen to become Belgians. This is in short what I read on different websites like Wikipedia about the history of the "Ost Kreise". The reality of course is a bit more complicated.
Please read serious sources and not wikipedia. Didn't you learn that at school?
حذفMon dieu, ostkreise, really?
حذفAnd fashion?

حذفI am sorry if I have offended some of you, but when I was at school nobody had ever heard of the internet and/or Wikipedia. I found a translation for "Oost Kantons" (Dutch) and came out by Ost Kreise. I didn't know it was forbidden to use this translation.
Is there anyone who could tell me shortly what is the real story then ?
Or give me the names of the sources I should consult to learn more about this part of Belgium ?
Well, 07.05., try belgium.be for example. And, for the future, inform yourself (try good old books, which are lectured) and never trust google translation ;))
حذفThis dress is not flattering and should be left in the closet.
ردحذفJe suis d'accord pour la souplesse de la robe mais pas pour les motifs qui sont trop gros et surtout de couleurs trop vives ; j'aimerais mieux voir ses boucles d'oreilles comme des citrines !
ردحذفNot really a good look. css
ردحذفThe print and color spoil this dress no end, and the shapeless design doesn't help either. On a positive note her accessory color is good.
ردحذفCoincido en que el dibujo del vestido no es muy acertado.
