On Friday, Queen Mathilde took part in “Reading Out Loud Week” as she read a passage from the book “Een bijzondere vriend" ("A special friend") by Aline Portman to the students of the Groenendaal nursery school in Merksem and to the non-speaking parents who take Dutch lessons there.

Queen Mathilde wore an Alicia Audrey coat with a Natan top and black trousers. She also wore her Angela Caputi earrings (with thanks to GardeRobeRoyale) and her Rolex watch.
