I love the second picture. It looks as though Baudouin is such a sincere person. Catherine, were Paola and Albert married before King Baudoin and Queen Fabiola?

Yes one year before them. Albert and Paola in 1959 and Baudouin and Fabiola in 1960.

Thank you for the wonderful photos!

While her children are attractive, it's a real pity none of them come anywhere close to approaching their mother's superb looks.

Thank you so much for all those beautiful old pictures you post (and have been posting for years, on the message boards to), Catherine. It is really appreciated!

And my goodness, what a beautiful woman Paola was!
