The De Warmste Week Twitter account tweeted that the future Queen of Belgium and Prince ran “9 kilometers together.” This year’s De Warmste Week is raising money for projects that fight against poverty.

The heir to the Belgian throne was dressed in an all-black outfit as she ran alongside her younger brother. The Prince and Princess’ father, King Philippe, ran the Warmathon back in 2016.
