Description

It started out as a gray and foggy morning. But the sun just started to emerge while we were in front of the Royal Palace in Brussels, Belgium, casting beautiful light on the palace. This is only one wing of the palace where the light fell most warmly. The Royal Palace is one of the most beautiful official buildings in Brussels, most especially so in this lighting. The Royal Palace is the official palace of the King and Queen of the Belgians in the centre of the nation's capital Brussels. However it is not used as a royal residence, as the king and his family live in the Royal Castle of Laekenon the outskirts of Brussels. The website of the Belgian Monarchy describes the function of the palace as follows: "The Palace is where His Majesty the King exercises his prerogatives as Head of State, grants audiences and deals with affairs of state. Apart from the offices of the King and the Queen, the Royal Palace houses the services of the Grand Marshal of the Court, the King's Head of Cabinet, the Head of the King's Military Household and the Intendant of the King's Civil List. The Palace also includes the State Rooms where large receptions are held, as well as the apartments provided for foreign Heads of State during official visits." It is only open for a couple of weeks in the summer, unfortunately not when we were there. Maybe next time....
