Today marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Princess Josephine Charlotte of Belgium, the firstborn child of King Leopold III of Belgium and his first wife Princess Astrid of Sweden. Read my earlier profile of Josephine Charlotte.
Both of her full brothers, Baudoin and Albert, later became Kings of Belgium and her nephew Philippe now sits on that throne. Josephine Charlotte, however, built her life in Luxembourg after marrying Jean, later the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The couple had five children, including the current Grand Duke Henri. Josephine Charlotte succumbed to lung cancer in 2005 at the age of 77.
