You're standing at the Palace of Laeken, in the north of Brussels. Behind these gates lives the Belgian royal family. Since 1999 it has been the home of Philippe and Mathilde, now King and Queen, and their children. The palace sits in a large park surrounded by walls and iron gates, and that park is closed to the public.
