Queen Mathilde of Belgium continues to demonstrate her dedication towards mental health, an issue that has become a priority for her in recent years.
In tune with other European royal figures, Mathilde has leveraged her platform to generate awareness about the importance of mental wellness, especially in difficult times.
This Wednesday, Mathilde attended an inaugural symposium organized by the Royal Belgian Academy of Medicine.
The meeting focused on the mental well-being of the elderly, a population facing particular challenges in terms of emotional health.
The event was attended by both elderly people and their caregivers, who shared their experiences and concerns around mental care.
Since confinement, Queen Mathilde has been a strong advocate for mental health, actively supporting various projects in this field.
Queen Mathilde in pink dress by Bernard Depoorter
For this important occasion, Queen Mathilde chose an elegant pink dress, designed by Bernard Depoorter, which has been part of her closet for six years.
The dress, with a round neckline and long sleeves, has been modified several times since 2018, when an extra length was added to bring the hemline to the knee. This adjustment is also reflected at the waist, where the pattern was altered for a better fit.
Mathilde completed her look with nude-colored stilettos and a silver Armani Privé clutch bag, one of her favorite accessories.
This particular bag has been her choice on several important occasions, including the awards that bear her name, where she combined it to present the award to the ‘De Trappen’ project of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
