Queen Mathilde of Belgium dazzled in a statement print dress as she posed with her family for a series of festive snaps ahead of a Christmas concert.
The royal seemed carefree as she stood alongside her husband King Philippe and their four children; Prince Gabriel, Crown Princess Elisabeth, Princess Eleonore and Prince Emmanuel.
Adding a splash of colour to contrast with the dull December weather, Mathilde donned a floor-length black turtleneck dress emblazoned with a vibrant floral design.

The design featured a multitude of flowers in a variety of colours in the middle of the demure dress.
She teamed her look with a pair of silver and opal teardrop earrings and sported a light smokey eye, with her hair typically coiffed and polished – though unfortunately the photographer caught her with her eyes shut in their family shot.
