Father and daughter look beautiful!
A special snapshot from Belgium, yesterday! A beautiful photo of King Philippe and Princess Elisabeth… and former President of the United States, Barack Obama, appeared on the Instagram account of the Belgian court.
High visitors
As a royal you are of course used to important guests. From state visits to receptions and from fellow monarchs to bigwigs from the business community: you smile at them all kindly and shake their hands. That’s how it goes.
But sometimes various prominent figures apparently ‘just’ come to visit. Out for coffee, so to speak. Yesterday, the Belgian palace shared a photo of a radiant Filip and Elisabeth with the 44e president of the USA.

In the photo, father and daughter pose proudly next to the ex-president, who was nearby for a lecture that same evening. His presence at Laeken Castle reportedly had nothing to do with the event, but was simply an ‘informal meeting’, according to Blauw Bloed.
Beautiful in blue
Princess Elisabeth is currently studying in Oxford, but she wanted to make an appearance at home before meeting Barack. The Duchess of Brabant again used one of her favorite colors: a hard blue trouser suit from the Jigsaw label, with satin accents. UFO No More reports that she combined this stylish suit with her Carolina Herrera stud earrings. Chic and classic!
Good tire
Blauw Bloed reports that King Philippe and former President Obama always got along well. It is not the first time that the couple has met: Obama was also a guest of the King of the Belgians in 2014.

The then president also attended the 70th commemoration of D-Day in France in 2014, where he clearly had the royals laughing. Our own Máxima is clearly having a good time!
