BELGIUM: CROWN PRINCE PHILIPPE WEDDING

(4 Dec 1999) Natural Sound
Crown Prince Philippe has married Princess Mathilde d'Udekem in Belgium's biggest wedding in decades.
At Brussels cathedral, they exchanged wedding rings and two kisses on the cheek, the highlight of a two-hour mass attended by 12 hundred guests in the renovated medieval church.
Other royals came from far and wide: Britain's Prince Charles was there, so was Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito, Jordan's Princess Rahma bint El Hassan and Queen Sophia of Spain.

My dream papa fillip king

[@yourenglishclasses]

She seemed to be in some physical pain when moving. Had she injured herself?

[@TheLookylook]

No her dress was very heavy and her flowers weighed 8 kilo's! That's just massive. They confirmed it in this interview 20 years later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4CYqZyHobGloNE&ab_channel=TheBelgianMonarchy

[@yourenglishclasses]

@@TheLookylook Then she is a trooper... That would be like carrying a baby in your hand.,

[@yourenglishclasses]

El vestido de novia de la Leti parece una copia de éste.

[@letisherlin7400]

Perfect pretty gown bride,same by a bride royal.but a make up of bride less glamour.

[@onemercilessming1342]

It's the wedding of Crown Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde, yet the mug of Tampax Charlie is featured. It's not his day. He's had his big wedding moment. Twice.

[@giannagloriamanetti8795]

Il vestito è molto discutibile, capisco lo scopo ma si poteva fare di meglio Però non è importante, sembra proprio un matrimonio vero e i genitori molto partecipi E quando i suoceri sono contenti è determinante

[@Shiryone]

She looks like she's going to faint at any moment.

[@bellaragazza9041]

Mathilde a les pieds coupes tellement elle est stresse et elle le montre

[@babispsimogiannos5520]

Bella Ragazza

[@BucyKalman]

Yes, it looked like she was about to have a heart attack. I suppose that the fact that her dress and floral arrangements were exceptionally heavy to wear/carry didn't help either. I also suspect that, back then, she was not quite as proficient in Dutch as she is today, so having a bilingual ceremony must have been an additional source of stress for her too.

[@motherhoodsbeauty9279]

Is he gonna cheat on her later like his father did?

[@TheLookylook]

No he is very loyal to his queen Mathilde. This was many years ago! They were so very shy then but since he became king he opened up. They have 4 children. Their eldest daughter Elisabeth will be the first queen of Belgium and celebrated her 18th birthday recently.

They are so old

[@lepetitchat123]

#NotMyKing

[@rocketmom60]

Mathilde looks scared to death.

[@TheLookylook]

No they revealed in an interview 20 years later her flowers weighed 8 kg. She had to carry that in one hand and her train worked against the carpet. She had difficulty going foward. They form a tight family with their 4 children.

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Not wild about her dress, it's too tailored for my taste. Not feminine enough.

[@TheLookylook]

Did you put this in time perspective? This is footage from December 1999! This was very fashion forward at the time.

[@Aslykgn]

Die zien er zo oud uit..

[@analuam9186]

Príncipe feio.kkk prefiro os da disney.kkkk

[@dancing523]

Thar dress was awful!!!!! I am embarass to say I didn't know they spoke French in Belgium.

[@carinavisschedijk4824]

there is something horribly wrong with this fine display of obscene wealth, yet we all smile and comment on how sweet the ceremony is. Wake up people! here is something horribly wrong going on behind the scenery

[@realsushrey]

What? Care to explain?

[@lclungen3611]

Nothing wrong😊just a typical stupid conspiracy theory that I'm sure definitely will involve the Illuminati😂😂

calm down girl, there's nothing wrong, they're royals and rich and we're not, and what's wrong with that, that's life so be it.
