This past weekend, the royal family of Belgium gathered at Laeken Castle to celebrate the four wedding anniversaries within the family. Guests who had wedding anniversaries on the same days as the royals were also part of the festivities.

The celebration was for the 50th anniversary for King Albert II and Queen Paola, 25 years for Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz, ten years for Crown Prince Philippe and Crown Princess Mathilde, and lastly, six years of marriage for Prince Laurent and Princess Claire.

The royals and their guests walked around the gardens of Laeken Castle, enjoying delicious food and entertainment.

There was, however, a downside to the celebrations. Two carriages crashed into each other when one of the horses was stung by a bug. Upset, the horse got out of control and the driver could not handle it. Four were injured, although one was treated at the site. The other three were transported to a hospital, possibly with broken bones.

The accident did not interrupt the festivities, but a royal spokesperson expressed regret.
