Through the Years → Queen Mathilde of Belgium (1,740/∞) 15 July 2026 | Three decades already that they are part of the daily life of Flemish viewers… and yesterday, they were received by the King and Queen! Congratulations on your 100th birthday, Annie and Ray! At the end of the meeting, the King and Queen gave a personalized photo to the oldest couple of actors still active in a television soap opera. They thus perpetuate a beautiful tradition: every centenary in Belgium for which the municipality submits an application receives a photo signed by the King and Queen, on the occasion of his birthday.
