On Dec. 17, the Belgian royal family got into the holiday spirit with a Christmas concert at the Royal Palace of Brussels featuring the Scala Choir.

The event, which featured masks and modifications due to the coronavirus pandemic, also showcased the Belgian royals' Christmas decorations.

Queen Mathilde, King Philippe, and their children, Princess Elisabeth, 19, Prince Gabriel, 17, Prince Emmanuel, 15, and Princess Eléonore, 12, posed in the Throne Room of the royal palace in front of the splendid holiday decorations and Christmas tree prior to the performance.

The awe-inspiring decorations featured a manger, gorgeous Christmas trees as well as an installation by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin that was described as a "veil of origamis."
