and daughter duo as they stepped out for a night at the opera today.<\/p>\n<p>The royal duo were photographed attending &#8216;Cassandra&#8217; the opera at La Monnaie Opera House in Brussels, alongside its director\u00a0Peter De Caluwe.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Mathilde, 50, looked elegant in a structured gold top with black floral detailing and black flared trousers to match.<\/p>\n<p>She accessorised the look with a dazzling pair of gold floral drop earrings, a gold clutch bag and pointed black pumps.<\/p>\n<p>For her make-up, a bold red lip was the perfect choice for the evening festivities, as was her black eyeliner and perfectly coiffed blonde bob.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

at one point, and seemed to be enjoying each other&#8217;s company\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile her daughter Princess Eleonore, who marked her 15th birthday in April, scaled back the glamour ever so slightly.<\/p>\n<p>She opted for a black sleeveless top and trousers, which she teamed with black patent leather flats.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike her mother, she chose to keep things casual by omitting accessories, jewellry or a matching bag.<\/p>\n<p>Her make-up was subtle in nature, allowing her natural beauty to shine through.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Mathilde&#8217;s appearance comes around a week after she visited the Vatican City with\u00a0her husband King Philippe\u00a0<span>for a private audience with <\/span>Pope Francis<span>.\u00a0<\/span><span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There, the queen, wore a modest white dress for the occasion, which came to just below the knee,\u00a0paired with a white mantilla, which she wore draped over her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Black lace is customary when visiting the Pope &#8211; only a handful of people are permitted to wear white around the religious figure when visiting the Vatican.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only seven women in the world are permitted to wear white in front of the Pope.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

Naples.<\/p>\n<p>The privilege only extends to these royals because they are the seven Catholic Queens, Princesses and Duchesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This meant that when Queen Camilla visited the Pope,
