Talking of Astrid, was blown away at the video in this tweet of her waiting for Delphine to catch up so they could talk and walk. Whatever else you say about Astrid she is a class act for this IMO, so long the closest to her parents I give her a lot of credit for this.

Agree 1000% about the main RF, they handle just tender, sad moments really well as they have genuine compassion and clearly aren't afraid of emotions at all, something really still rather new for many RFs.

Am I the only one who can’t stand Delphine?

No, you are not.
But it seems like we are an absolute minority

There was a conversation over on her thread last week about posters thoughts if you're interested! I think there are different interesting opinions. And congrats on 100 posts

I wouldn’t say that I can’t stand her but I’m definitely on the fence as to whether or not I like her.  There’s just something about her that bothers me.

I was one who said she should have given up and got on with her life long ago, I also was taken aback she got royal titles after for so long saying it wasn't that which she wanted. I'm very much on the fence about her, and to be honest, the National Day appearance just reinforces that - at times she looks a little, I don't know, smug? But time will tell.

Did Claire pass the kooky fashion torch to Delphine? I like that she knows who she is and she is an artist so that fits with the loud outfit. I am very impressed by this family for presenting a united front. I wonder how long all four siblings have actually known each other? Is Mathilde comforting a flood victim? How awful what people in the Benelux and Germany are dealing with.

Lovely family.

Who is Astrid?  The only royal Astrid I can think of is the elderly lady with the fantastically unique tiaras/aigrettes and this lady looks much younger.

King Phil's sister.

I get unpleasant vibes from her, too. And sorry, that outfit is not only fugly as hell, it just cries lookerme. Only a true attention seeker would dress like that.

Same here, I just can't warm to her even though I am sympathetic to the hell Albert put her through.

Something's off.  It could just be bravado in light of the opposition to her recognition as a Princess. Her relationships with her siblings may very well be heartfelt.

Same here, too; it's a very surprising situation.

Some better photos of the BRF (sans Lil) visiting a home for adults with learning disabilities in Ottognies and the National MS Centre in Maelsbroek. Both Til and Eleonore look really nice
