Future Queens & Consorts of Europe

Catherine, Princess of Wales is one of the best known, best liked and best dressed women in the world. But she’s far from the only future queen with a fairytale love story, who’s now busy greeting diplomats, supporting charities, raising little royals and looking fabulous! Of the 10 surviving hereditary monarchies in Europe, 5 have heirs who are still young and as yet unmarried. We can look forward to waking up early to watch the royal weddings of Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, Prince Christian of Denmark, Princess Catherina-Amalia of the Netherlands, Princess Leonor of Spain and Prince Jacques of Monaco in the years to come. Today, let’s meet the 2 Queens and 1 Prince consort, 1 Grand Duchess and 1 Princess in waiting – the spouses of the heirs apparent of Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway Prince Daniel of Sweden Catherine, Princess of Wales Princess Stéphanie, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg Sophie, Hereditary Princess of Liechtenstein Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
