Princess Elisabeth, the Duchess of Brabant, and her younger sister, Princess Eleonore of Belgium are rarely photographed together in public because Princess Eleonore is not yet a working royal, but on Saturday, September 3, the royal sisters stepped out in public to attend the wedding of their maternal uncle, Count Charles-Henri d'Udekem d'Acoz.
The Belgian Count, 37, is the younger brother of Queen Mathilde of Belgium. He wed Caroline Philippe in Pont-L'Evêque, in the Normandy region of France, in a ceremony attended by their closest friends and family members.
