Angela Brown is 11 years older than her husband prince Maximillian of Liecenstein. They look happy each other

The head of the girls' physical education department at my old high school is 13 years older than her husband. When I was first there in the fall of 2004, she was 40 and newly pregnant with her first child, a boy. He was born in May of my grade 9 year, three weeks early. One Friday when our regular teacher was out sick, she took us into the weight room and demonstrated something on one of the machines. Needless to say she had the baby over the weekend. She went on to have another boy a few years later.

Where is the thread for “Royal Wives With Younger Husbands”?

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

Crown Prince Felipe will have 37 on 30th and CP Letizia have 32 years-old.
And yes, King Willem was 41 years-old than his wife, Queen Emma!!!

It was pure necessity for the 62-years old King Willem III of the Netherlands, Grand-Duke of Luxembourg, as he outlived his first spouse Queen Sophie, Princess von Württemberg and all of their children. The Dutch Royal House was on the verge of extinction. So the widowed King searched a new spouse, which he found in the 21-years old Princess Emma von Waldeck und Pyrmont.
