Royal Recap: March 22 - March 28
Welcome to this week’s Royal Recap where we’ll take a look at the events we weren’t able to cover fully this week!
On Monday, Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa celebrated her 65th birthday and the Court released a new series of photos to mark the day.
Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa wore a new dress by Maison Rabih Kayrouz.
On Monday, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde commemorated the fifth anniversary of the Brussels terrorist attacks.
On Tuesday, Queen Mathilde had virtual conversations with several pediatricians about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and their families including children's mental health, intra-family difficulties, and the consequences of distance learning and the closure of schools.
On Thursday, Queen Mathilde visited the “Children of the Renaissance” exhibition in Museum Hof Van Busleyden. The exhibition tells the story of three generations of Burgundian-Habsburg princes and princesses who grew up in Mechelen in the 16th century.
Mathilde wore her Natan plaid coat over a Natan green dress and matching face mask.
On Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a video message to thank everyone involved in Time to Change's campaign to end mental health stigma.
On Saturday, Kensington Palace shared a new official photo of the Duchess of Cambridge to announce that her Hold Still project was turned into a book. Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020 will come out on May 7 and the proceeds will be cut equally to benefit the National Portrait Gallery - of which Catherine is Patron - and the mental health charity Mind. The Duchess of Cambridge wrote the foreword for the book.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a red jumper over her Sézane shirt. She also wore her Daniella Draper hoops. It seems the photo was taken on the same day as the photo the Cambridges used for their 2020 Christmas Card.
On Friday, Queen Maxima delivered a speech during a private webinar about financial health. Queen Maxima is the special advocate of the UN Secretary-General for Inclusive Finance. Queen Maxima wore a new Natan green leather skirt.
On Friday, Princess Sofia gave birth at Danderyd Hospital to her and Prince Carl-Philip’s third son. The couple was spotted leaving the hospital in the afternoon. On Sunday, King Carl-Gustaf announced that Sofia and Carl-Philip have named their son Julian Herbert Folke. He’ll be a Prince of Sweden and Duke of Halland.
Princess Sofia wore a blue shirt and black jeans with new Stinaa.J sneakers. She also wore her Becksöndergaard scarf and her Berkeley Company black cap.
