10 Current Monarchs of Europe

Here are stories of the 10 current monarchs of Europe: King Philippe of Belgium Queen Margrethe II of Denmark King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands King Harald V of Norway King Felipe VI of Spain King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms Sovereign Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
