Prince Gabriel has reached a new chapter in his young royal life, with his family gathering in Brussels to mark his graduation from the Royal Military Academy.
The 23-year-old Prince was joined by King Philippe, Queen Mathilde and his elder sister, Crown Princess Elisabeth, for the formal ceremony on Thursday.
Wearing his military uniform, Gabriel took part in the graduation proceedings after completing three years of training at the prestigious academy.
