They were joined by Princess Esmeralda, half sister of Philippe's father King Albert II, and Princess Lea, widow of Esmeralda's brother, Prince Alexander, for the ceremony which commemorates all those royals who have passed away. Prince Nikolaus and Princess Margaretha were also there - Margaretha is the daughter of Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte who was born a princess of Belgium.
The service was held at Notre Dame church in Laeken where the royal crypt is located. The service is held every year on the anniversary of the death of King Albert I who died in 1934. Following the memorial, members of the public could visit the crypt which is usually open on anniversaries of royal deaths as well as on Sunday afternoons.
