QuoteBelgium's new monarch is being thrown in at the deep end and will be seeing Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo (Francophone socialist) at 11am.

King Albert, who despite the abdication retains his royal title 'king', used to see the prime minister every Monday at 11am and this is a custom that King Filip intends to honour.

True to tradition PM Elio Di Rupo will tender the resignation of his six-party government. This is a resignation that the King traditionally refuses to accept. The resignation is seen as a symbolic act "out of respect for the monarchy".
