Queen Mathilde of Belgium cut a stylish figure as she visited the ‘Children of the Renaissance’ exhibition in Museum Hof van Busleyden in Mechelen, Belgium today.
The mother-of-four, 48, looked typically glamorous in a green dress which featured waist-belt detail and a matching face mask, and wore a checked coat elegantly over her shoulders.
The royal completed her chic ensemble with a pair of brown suede heels and matching clutch bag.
Based on works of art, writings and utensils, the exhibition tells the story of three generations of Burgundian-Habsburg princes and princesses who grew up in Mechelen in the 16th century.

The engagement comes just days after the king of Belgium laid a wreath at a metro station on the fifth anniversary of the Brussels terror attack that killed 32 people in the country’s worst atrocity since World War II.
King Philippe and Queen Mathilde held a moment of silence at Maelbeek station at 9.11am, the exact time a bomb went off on a metro train on March 22, 2016.
The royals also met victims and their relatives at the city’s Zaventem airport where ISIS suicide bombers let off another two explosions on that day.
The Islamist attacks left hundreds injured and traumatised in addition to the 32 deaths, and efforts to bring the surviving plotters to justice are still ongoing.
