His Majesty King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium on their state visit in Lithuania on the 24th of October 2022 met with the President of the Republic of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, and the First Lady Diana Nausėdienė and invited guests at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania for a state dinner held in honour of the King and Queen of Belgium.
 
Before the gala dinner, the Belgian royal couple wished to visit the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and to learn more about Lithuanian history. The Belgian monarchs took a keen interest in Lithuania's past and asked many questions and shared their impressions with the Lithuanian Head of State. After seeing the portraits of the Dukes of Sapiega, books and kokli with the coats of arms of the Sapiegas in the halls of the restored historical interiors, the Belgian monarchs happily recalled that they were the ancestors of Queen Mathilde's grandmother, linking the Belgian monarch to Lithuania and the entire European region.
