On Friday, Queen Mathilde attended the "Children's rights at the crossroads: evolving humanitarian crises" conference held at the Royal Palace to mark the 35th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In her speech, Queen Mathilde said: “The challenges to children's rights demand targeted investments to better fulfil the Sustainable Development Goals. A united effort is essential: a broad coalition of the public sector, organizations, institutions, civil society, corporations and individuals working together to drive this critical work forward, to put in place systems that can anticipate and respond flexibly and sensitively to protect and enhance children’s lives.To truly address the root causes of disasters, we must shift away from a 'business as usual' mindset or we risk falling short of achieving our goals. It is crucial that children and young people are explicitly considered and included in our solutions, ensuring their voices are heard and that they actively participate in decisions and actions that affect them, so that their voices can have a meaningful impact.”

Queen Mathilde wore a Natan outfit with her Gianvito Rossi pumps and her Diane von Furstenberg clutch. She also wore repeated earrings and her Rolex watch.
