Prince Philippe's 50th Birthday Weekend

23-25 April 2010

Mary & Frederik spent the weekend in Brussels, Belgium to attend the 50th birthday party of crown prince Philippe of Belgium.

The party was kept very private and only a few blurry pictures were made of the royal guests when they exited the Plaza Hotel to be driven to Laeken castle.

Earlier in the day they had visited the Magritte Museum together - without Maxima who preferred to go shopping.

The next day there was a brunch at the Plaza Hotel.

Mary was in the first stage of her third pregnancy, expecting twins. The news hadn't been made public yet.
