Princess Elisabeth took particular care of her outfit for this meeting: she stood out in a blue pantsuit with a wide satin belt. A set that seems to have been unearthed from the English brand Jigsaw. Blue is definitely a flattering color for the princess, who opted for this shade for the Christmas festivities in 2022 and those of last December.
