O último compromisso do dia foi uma homenagem junto ao Monumento aos Mortos da Grande Guerra. Portugal apenas participou na Primeira Guerra Mundial. Milhares de soldados portugueses combateram para libertar a Bélgica ocupada. Centenas morreram e milhares foram capturados, principalmente durante a Batalha de La Lys e durante a Batalha de Ypres. #NuncaEsquecer.
The last appointment of the day was a tribute to the Monument to the Dead of the Great War. Portugal only participated in the First World War. Thousands of Portuguese soldiers fought to free occupied Belgium. Hundreds were killed and thousands captured, mainly during the Battle of La Lys and during the Battle of Ypres. #LestWeForget.

Também a Princesa Diana d' Orléans, Duquesa de Anjou e 11ª Duquesa do Cadaval esteve presente, juntamente com o seu marido o Príncipe Charles-Philippe d' Orléans, Duque de Anjou. Diana partilhou uma fotografia no seu Instagram. A nobre portuguesa está a usar a Tiara Cadaval, a mesma que usou no dia do seu casamento em 2008.
Also Princess Diana d'Orléans, Duchess of Anjou and 11th Duchess of Cadaval was present, together with her husband Prince Charles-Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Anjou. Diana shared a photo on her Instagram. The Portuguese noblewoman is using the Cadaval Tiara, the same one she wore on her wedding day in 2008.
Para o primeiro dia da visita a Portugal, a Rainha belga optou por repetir um conjunto cinza em seda e renda que conjugou com acessórios a condizer e pérolas e diamantes. Acho este conjunto deveras delicado, mas a linha que o separa de uma peça de lingerie é muito ténue, na minha opinião. Ainda assim, Mathilde ilumina tudo e todos com o seu sorriso e doçura e, por isso, eu nem quero saber da roupa que ela usa.
For the first day of the visit to Portugal, the Belgian Queen chose to repeat a lace and silk gray set with matching accessories, pearls and diamonds. I find this set very delicate, but the line that separates it from a piece of lingerie is very tenuous, in my opinion. Still, Mathilde illuminates everything and everyone with her smile and sweetness and, therefore, I do not want to focus on her clothes anyway.

A Rainha belga usou um vestido dourado (ou será prateado?) bordado a cristais que a fez brilhar como uma estrela, apesar de achar que este formato de vestido não favorece particularmente Mathilde. A consorte de Philippe dos Belgas usou a Tiara Laureal Wreath e uns longos brincos de diamantes.
The Belgian Queen wore a gold (or silver?) gown embroidered with crystals that made her shine like a star, though I thought this dress format did not particularly favor Mathilde. Philippe's consort wore the Laureal Wreath Tiara and long diamond earrings.

🇵🇹🇧🇪 Portugal kent al ruim 100 jaar geen monarchie meer. Maar als het land een “echte” koning zou hebben, is hij het: Dom Duarte Pio, de hertog van Bragança en hoofd van het Portugese koningshuis. Hij is uitgenodigd op het staatsbanket ter ere van Filip en Mathilde. #BelPort2018 pic.twitter.com/AQivu2kbuw— [Wim Dehandschutter] (@WDehandschutter) 22 de outubro de 2018
Mas houve mais duas tiaras nesta noite. O Duque e a Duquesa de Bragança, pretendentes ao trono português foram convidados, como é hábito, para o Jantar de Estado. D. Isabel usou um conjunto rosa, o mesmo que usou no casamento do real da Dinamarca em 2004, com a sua tiara-colar.
But there were two more tiaras yesterday night. The Duke and Duchess of Bragança, pretenders to the Portuguese throne were invited, as usual, to the State Dinner. D. Isabel wore a pink set, the same she wore at the 2004 royal wedding in Denmark, with her tiara-neckalace.
