She was the original "Queen of Hearts," a title later applied to Diana. But Astrid really was a Queen of Hearts; a gracious, great-hearted woman, a devoted wife and mother, and beloved Queen. She was born a Princess of Sweden, and hence was raised as a Lutheran, but converted to Catholicism after marrying into the Belgian royal family, from conviction, however, ( ie. not just for political expediency ). She also died tragically in a car accident. You can read more here ( it's an amazing story! ). <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrid_of_the_Belgians<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/><BR/>MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-75386009920602351472007-12-18T06:19:00.000-08:002007-12-18T06:19:00.000-08:00I suspect that Charles started out loving her.

Pretty soon some of them found their way into her bed. It is rumoured that harry is not, in fact, Charles' son. With his wife's seeking fulfilment elsewhere, Charles rekindled his relationship with Camilla. And the rest, as they say, is History.<BR/><BR/>I am a Monarchist Scot, founder member of the Edinburgh University Monarchist Society and a retired Officer in Her Majestry's Land ForcesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-26429846028413859022007-09-06T17:20:00.000-07:002007-09-06T17:20:00.000-07:00Point taken.

However my approach to Diana was rather Machiavellian; I was trying to make the point that she was over-rated as both a Princess of Wales and as a person. But I concede your point--it is disputable, however, if Charles ever loved her, before or after she became his wife.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457797507112052882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226519.post-48277787400674624062007-09-06T15:07:00.000-07:002007-09-06T15:07:00.000-07:00Man is called to love his wife as Christ loves his...Man is called to love his wife as Christ loves his Church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
