"Queen Mathilde of Belgium was all smiles today as continued her visit to the Ivory Coast in her capacity as ambassador for the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
The royal, who turned 51 in January, looked happy and relaxed in the sunshine as she posed for the photographer on the beach, met with local people in Grand-Lahou and donned a fluorescent life jacket for a boat trip through the mangroves.
The aim of the visit, which began on 3 March and continues until 6 March, was to exchange experiences in the field of sustainable development with Ivorian partners."
