QuoteBelgium's soon to be King Philip - Filip in Dutch, Philippe in French - will be kept extremely busy on July 21, Belgium's National Day and the day his father King Albert II will abdicate.

The government on Tuesday announced the day's programme, which is a mix of traditional elements such as a Te Deum Mass in the Cathedral and a Military Parade, but also a wreath laying at the War Monument and a appearance on the Palace balcony shortly after King Philip takes the oath of office.

Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a unicorn.  Then always be a unicorn.

Someone mentioned that Philippe was disliked. why?
"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'." Diana Vreeland.
