Belgium's Prince Philippe and his wife Princess Mathilde treated their three children to an adventure in the forest this week.
The royal couple happily took a break from their duties to enjoy a day out with five-year-old Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, who turns four next month, and 21-month-old Prince Emmanuel, in the picturesque Belgian Ardennes region.
Philippe and Mathilde joined in with the fun as the little ones explored an adventure playground in the Parc Chlorophylle, designed to teach youngsters about nature.
The young royals screeched with delight as they ran across a 15-meter-high bridge and exhausted themselves making the most of the outdoor wooden playing zones.
But while Elisabeth and Gabriel were old enough to find their own fun, little Emmanuel needed a little help from dad crossing some monkey bars.
The Hello! Web site reports, Mathilde also showed her sense of fun joining her three children on a wooden seesaw.
Last week, Philippe helped his mother Queen Paolo welcome Britain's Queen Elizabeth in Brussels and lead commemorations to remember the Battle of Passchendaele, one of World War I's bloodiest battles.
