A solo visit for Princess Elisabeth! That is special, because due to studies, etc., this does not happen that often. It was indeed a visit to familiar territory.
The Belgian princess visited the Princess Elisabeth children’s hospital in Ghent. I just think that she has never forgotten that as a 9-year-old girl she opened the children’s hospital there, which was named after her. Nice detail: we were on holiday in the area at the time, and I saw Elisabeth with her parents upon arrival. What fun that was!

Back to today. Today Princess Elisabeth wore a cotton velvet trouser suit by Dries van Noten, in the color pistachio. The sleeveless silk top also comes from this designer.

In addition, Princess Elisabeth is wearing the same earrings (Carolina Herrera, from Mathilde’s jewelry box) as yesterday during the reception.

Review
In 2011, Princess Elisabeth wore a colorful dress with an Ikat pattern from the label Papo d’Anjo. Later the dress was also worn by her sister Eléonore.

Does the dress look familiar? That’s possible! Alexia had the same dress at the time and Princess Ariane also wore a similar dress from the label in blue. Wonderful, just enjoying those old images.
