On November 7, 2024, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium opened the doors of the Castle of Laeken to honor Belgium’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
These athletes, who represented the country at the 2024 Games in Paris, joined medalists from recent European and World Championships in Olympic and Paralympic disciplines, along with Belgian referees who officiated in Paris, for a reception recognizing their efforts and achievements.
The event provided a warm and appreciative space where King Philippe and Queen Mathilde celebrated the dedication and hard work of these sportsmen and women.
King Philippe personally acknowledged the athletes, noting the discipline and resilience needed to reach such levels of competition, whether on the track, in the pool, or on the field.

Complementing the outfit, she opted for beige Christian Dior D-Moi pumps and a soft pink C’est Dior handbag. Her choice of accessories was equally refined, with Percossi Papi earrings adding a hint of sparkle and her signature Rolex Datejust watch in silver and gold, adorned with a diamond dial, completing her sophisticated look.
