King Philippe and Queen Mathilde at the Vatican

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium had a private Audience with Pope Leo XIV at the Apostolic Palace during a visit to the Vatican on October 27th, which is their third official visit to the Vatican since 2015, following one in 2023, and their attendance at the Funeral of Pope Francis as well as the Inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV earlier this year.

Following the British State Visit to the Vatican and the visit of the King and Queen of Jordan, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium were the first Catholic Sovereigns to have an audience with the new Pope Leo XIV at the Apostolic Palace during a visit to the Vatican.

Queen Mathilde exercised her Privilège du Blanc, the special Papal Privilege that allows certain Catholic Queens and Consorts to wear white in the presence of the Pope.
