Huguette is involved in all events relating to royalty. She recalls her meeting with the King, a week before his death: “a healthy man, with sparkling eyes, already weakened, alas“. She is not surprised to see so many people today visiting the crypt which is quite empty the rest of the year, “it is indicative of the relationship he had with his people” she says, “he who was mourned so much thirty years ago“.
On July 31, 1993, King Baudouin passed away in Motril in southern Spain. His nephew and current King Philippe went to this city on the Andalusian coast on this anniversary date to inaugurate a stele in homage to his grandfather. A tutelary figure to whom he owes a lot. Baudouin trained Philippe in the profession of king. His early death, at the age of 62, had pushed Prince Albert to the throne. This heritage, Liliane, who came from Brussels, remembers it and dares to affirm “that it is thanks to the smiling king that Belgium today has a philosopher king”.
