King Baudouin is wearing the sash AND the collar ot the order of Leopold which is exceptional for Belgium.He with our first King Leopold Ist were Kings of the Belgians the day of their wedding.
I should like to see more pictures of the pre-wedding. We saw only the RF of Norway and Italy. It was the only evening we saw such a lot of tiaras in Belgium..
On this day Paola received from Leopold III her tiara.. she wore is at the first time as Princesse de Liege.
Yes Maria Olivia you are right, I made a mistake, there are 2 banquets one in the royal palace and one in the museum .... the pictures I post is the royal palace, sorry !!!!!!!!!!!!
Fabiola's dress is beautiful with the exception of the fur around the waist. I find the hostilities between Fabiola and Lillian fascinating. Paola was really beautiful in her "youth".
Now THAT was a Royal Wedding! It had love and emotion as well as dignity and reverence and tradition. And a Who's Who in the Gotha among the wedding guests.
I never get tired of looking at those photos...the 1960's was soo glamourous!
Dear All,
Thank you for all the gorgeous pictures, video's and information on Queen Fabiola's gorgeous wedding.
I have SO enjoyed looking at all of them.
Fabiola was a real Royal Bride and such a wonderful personality too.
Besides, the 50's and 60's were gorgeously glamorous and feminine.
Regards,
