Royal Lady Flashback of December 27, 2016

For today, we will shine the spotlight on one of our current Queens Consort, the lovely and always appropriate Queen Mathilde of the Belgians. She is the first Queen of her country to be born in her country. She is a member of the Belgian nobility, who bore the honorific "Jonkvrouw," which literally means "young lady." It is an appellation reserved for the untitled daughter of a nobleman. She was therefore the most highly ranked of our current Queens Consort prior to marriage. It is not surprising then that she grew up in a castle. Before becoming engaged to Philippe, now King of the Belgians, she was a speech therapist with a master's degree in psychology. The couple has four children, two girls and two boys, aged eight through 15.
