Princess Eleonore and Queen Mathilde were the most stylish mother and daughter duo as they stepped out for a night at the opera today.<\/p>\n
The royal duo were photographed attending ‘Cassandra’ the opera at La Monnaie Opera House in Brussels, alongside its director\u00a0Peter De Caluwe.<\/p>\n
Queen Mathilde, 50, looked elegant in a structured gold top with black floral detailing and black flared trousers to match.<\/p>\n
She accessorised the look with a dazzling pair of gold floral drop earrings, a gold clutch bag and pointed black pumps.<\/p>\n
For her make-up, a bold red lip was the perfect choice for the evening festivities, as was her black eyeliner and perfectly coiffed blonde bob.<\/p>\n

During the opera, it appeared as though\u00a0Queen Mathilde may be explaining something to her daughter, who looked as though she was listening intently to her mother<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mother and daughter appeared deep in conversation at one point, and seemed to be enjoying each other’s company\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile her daughter Princess Eleonore, who marked her 15th birthday in April, scaled back the glamour ever so slightly.<\/p>\n
She opted for a black sleeveless top and trousers, which she teamed with black patent leather flats.<\/p>\n
Unlike her mother, she chose to keep things casual by omitting accessories, jewellry or a matching bag.<\/p>\n
Her make-up was subtle in nature, allowing her natural beauty to shine through.<\/p>\n
Queen Mathilde’s appearance comes around a week after she visited the Vatican City with\u00a0her husband King Philippe\u00a0for a private audience with <\/span>Pope Francis.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n There, the queen, wore a modest white dress for the occasion, which came to just below the knee,\u00a0paired with a white mantilla, which she wore draped over her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n Black lace is customary when visiting the Pope – only a handful of people are permitted to wear white around the religious figure when visiting the Vatican.\u00a0<\/p>\n Only seven women in the world are permitted to wear white in front of the Pope.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The royals are pictured sitting next to\u00a0General Director of De Munt-La Monnaie Peter De Caluwe (pictured, right)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The opera watched by the two royals, ‘Cassandra’,\u00a0is a work by the Belgian composer Foccroulle\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Princess Eleonore, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and General Director of De Munt-La Monnaie Peter De Caluwe are snapped at the\u00a0De Munt – La Monnaie Opera House in Brussels<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During their outing at the opera, the royal pair (pictured, left) also spoke with\u00a0musician and composer Bernard Foccroulle (pictured, right)<\/p>\n They include Charlene, Princess of Monaco, Queen Letizia of Spain, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Maria Teresa, The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘The privilege of the white’ also extends to\u00a0Belgium’s Queen Paola and Princess Marina of Naples.<\/p>\n The privilege only extends to these royals because they are the seven Catholic Queens, Princesses and Duchesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n This meant that when Queen Camilla visited the Pope, she had to wear all-black, as she never converted to\u00a0Roman Catholic, despite growing up in a Catholic household.<\/p>\n Instead, she is an\u00a0Anglican.\u00a0<\/p>\n
