Mathilde and her daughter will leave the hospital, although it is likely this will be on
Tuesday or Wednesday, since the Princess is recuperating well from the caesarian section.
Meanwhile flowers and gifts are still coming in at Erasmus hospital. The Royal Court has announced Filip and Mathilde will view all the gifts.
Belgium has reacted very positive to the birth of their new queen-to-be. You can send your congratulations to the Royal Palace (see Royal Addresses on this page).
