Telling the national media, the court said, “she is not ill, just tired.There is nothing wrong. She walks, moves about, but she is tired and needs rest. That is why she is not travelling or going out.”

Concern for the sister-in-law to King Albert II began when the dowager Queen did not make any appearances since July 31st, the anniversary of the death of her husband, King Baudouin.

She is not expected to make anymore appearances in the near future.

The royal court also added that Queen Fabiola is still recovering from pneumonia, which she was hospitalized for at the beginning of this year.

“Everyone needs time to recover from such a disorder, especially one lady of 81.”
