Thanks for the Van Quickenberghe story Johann! It's typical for him, he'll do anything to get atention from the press. He started off being against the monarchy, untill he got the chance to go to South Africa with the economic mission Philippe presided, he then became a personal heel licker of...

Actually the king and queen are also obliged to go voting, like all other Belgians. They chose not to, to remain neutral, and are probably the only ones who don't get fined for this.

Natan is the name of the fashion house, the designer is called Edouard Vermeulen. He has shops in Belgium, Holland and Paris.

short video of the arrival at school: http://www.vtm.be/nieuws/index_bekijkonline.htm vrijdag 01/09, 13u, right at the start. It nearly looks as though Gabriel and Elisabeth are wearing a uniform, but the school doesn't have one (very few schools do in Belgium).

Back to school for Astrid & Lorenz's youngest children, here's Luisa on her way to school, 1 September 2006 (Belga)

I just saw them on the news: Gabriel didn't cry (at least not before he entered the school gate :)) and Mathilde said he'd been very excited all morning to go to school.

Your guess was right! Prince Gabriel went to school for the 1st time this morning. He was brought by his parents. He goes to the same school as his sister Elisabeth and cousins Luisa and Joachim.

Philippe & Mathilde were present at a private dinner in Holland for Masako & Naruhito of Japan. The other guests were queen Beatrix, Máxima & Willem-Alexander and Henri & María Teresa of Luxemburg.

Their marriage wasn't arranged.
