Oh lovely! And I love Elisabeth's mango coloured coat

So much to love in the Belgian Royal Family right now!

It was very interesting to read about Edith Cavell; what a heroine.  Truly a woman deserving of remembrance.

I don't know much about this Princess Astrid but she seems lovely and dignified.

And so good to see Elisabeth make her forays into these appearances!  She is killing it in her mango coat...far better than her mom's outing in Greece, and better than Kate's today!  (Bonus points from me for her wearing it properly and not shrobing it, which is apparently a regional/cultural preference, and I'm glad she's not doing!)
