Queen Mathilde of Belgium turns 51! European royal looks chic in winter casualwear as she poses for new official portraits to mark her birthday

The Belgian royal family released two new portraits this weekend to mark Queen Mathilde’s 51st birthday.

The royal household took to Instagram to share news that Mathilde, the first native-born Belgian Queen, celebrated her special day yesterday.

The royal appeared in high spirits as she posed for the cameras at Domaine Royal de Laeken Koninklijk Domein van Laken – the official residence of the Belgian royal family in Brussels.

And the mother-of-four put on a typically stylish display in her new portraits. 

Mathilde paired a £120 ‘Maree’ Dobby quilted bodywarmer from Baleno Clothing Europe with a pair of chocolate-coloured corduroy trousers.

She added a touch of glamour to the outfit with a pair of £55 resin ‘Gabrielle’ earrings from Sezanne, the same pair that the Princess of Wales donned at a 2019 polo match.

Taking to Instagram, the royal household accompanied the post alongside the caption: ‘Congratulations to the Queen! She celebrates her 51st birthday today!’

Mathilde smiled as she looked towards the camera in the photographs, taken in the stunning location of the gardens of the Royal Domain in front of the Japanese tower in Laeken, in Brussels. Belgium

She opted for a natural make-up look, complete with a dash of blusher across her cheeks.

The second image offered a full-length shot of the royal, and she casually posed with one hand tucked away into her pockets as she kept her gaze towards the side of the camera.

It comes after Queen Mathilde of Belgium made a stylish appearance at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos last week.
