After the summer, Prince Gabriel will begin the fourth and final year of his degree. The Prince played the piano for several years. He is also a big sports fan and practices tennis, skiing, and sailing.
Gosh such a handsome young man, his suit fits him well. Beautiful little sister in a pretty dress.
ReplyDeleteHe has mummy's whole face
ReplyDeleteHe is not only playing tennis, do skiing and sailing but as a young boy he also played hockey in a Brussels club. He had fractures on his ankles and feet 2 or 3 times and the doctors forbid him to play hockey any longer because they feared he would stay handicapped. There are pictures of him taken at the Christmas tree before or after the Christmas concert at the Royal Palace in Brussels were one can see him with a big bandage around his foot.
ReplyDeleteHe looks indeed like Queen Mathilde. Although there were tall kings among the Saxe-Cobourg, I think Prince Gabriel must have his length from his mother side since Queen Mathilde herself is a tall lady.
Handsome young prince with a well-rounded background. Gorgeous suit and tie. He looks very much at ease. Birthday blessings .
