Royals on social media

There was a baby bump clad in pink, a queen in waiting meeting a famous female president and a future consort taking the lead at a big charity event. It was all about the royal women of Europe this week and the official social media accounts of the ruling houses reflected that. Here's the royal week on social media.

Moments of history

Crown Princess Victoria paid a three day visit to South Korea in the week and met with the country's president, Park Geun-hye. The two posed for an historic photograph which the Swedish Royal House shared on its official Facebook page.




King Harald V of Norway came face to face with history in the week when he unveiled new portraits of the three kings who have ruled his country since the monarchy was set up in its current form in 1905. The king was pictured smiling at the portraits of himself, Olav V and Haakon VII on a post on the official Norwegian Royal Family Facebook page.



The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were also staring history in the face this week when they visited Canterbury Cathedral to see two new statues of themselves unveiled. The British Monarchy Instagram page shared an image of the moment the curtain fell.


Music to their ears

Queen Maxima attended a concert given by children - some with disabilities - in the week. The Dutch Royal House shared an image of the queen with some of the performers on its official Twitter feed.


The Crown Prince and Princess of Norway attended a film project by VIBRO and Global Shapers in the week which included a showing of films and a concert. The official Facebook page of the Norwegian Royal Family shared some photos. 


The Duchess of Cambridge headed off on maternity leave this week but not after a busy day of engagements in Streatham, London where she visited several projects aimed at helping young people. And along with the Duke of Cambridge she was treated to some music and the moment was shared on the official Kensington Palace Twitter feed.



She's in fashion


Queen Mathilde of the Belgians attended a meeting of the Flanders Fashion Fuel project in the week to hear about how it's supporting fashion design in the country and how that's helping the economy. She toured an exhibition of Dries Van Noten and images were shared on the official Belgian Royal Family Twitter account.


Fashion model and campaigner Yasmin Le Bon met the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in the week when they heard all about #TravelsToMyElephant which will see people racing in rickshaws in India to raise awareness of the plight of the Indian elephant. Yasmin Le Bon will be taking part and she showed off her rickshaw to the royals in an image shared on the official Clarence House Twitter account.
