15 June, 2013 at the Palais d’Egmont
On 15 June 1815 the Duchess of Richmond organized a ball in Brussels for the officers of Wellington’s army and distinguished guests. This ball was part of Wellington’s psychological warfare which had always involved ‘pleasure as usual’. During the ball a message arrived from the Prussian commander Prince Blucher warning of Napoleon’s approach. Officers slipped away quietly from the ball to join their troops in Quatre Bras on 16 June and the Battle of Waterloo two days later.
Nearly 200 years later the Ball has been revived to help charities supporting British and other citizens in Belgium. Last year at the Chateau St. Anne, the Ball was a great success, raising over € 26,000 for charities. Be a part of this unique event.
