Probably just HM Queen Fabiola, HM Queen Paola and HM The Queen :)

So King Albert must not be alowed to abdicate. Maybe not a regular option in Belgium but possible. Then there are not only three living Queens, but also two living Kings in Belgium.
Just as before with King Boudewijn and his father King Leopold.

Question: How were they styled, HM King Leopold en HM the King?

Fabiola is one truly classy lady. I can't imagine losing one baby, let alone five. That she has endured all that tragedy and still is gracious and kind and sweet, is really admirable.

I must say she loves prince Philip (the heir of the throne) as a son. If she hadn't any children it's a pitty. Now she has to live as the former king's widow. Weird situation in Belgium. Two queens instead of one. Muy question is: What's Fabiola's situation after her husband's death?

It has also happened in other countries that there where more than 1 Quuen. In the Uk from 1936 until 2002 there where always 2 Queens, from 1952-1953 even 3. Other examples recent examples are Denmark, Greece and many more.

Fabiola is a strong woman. It must be very hard to loose one child, and more harder to loose five children. If I will loose only one child and someone else of my friends is pregnant I would be very filled with bitterness.

I admire Queen Fabiola for her strength.

To Stefan: Another country with two Queens is Jordan. There are HM The Queen (Ranja) and HM Queen Noor.

I always wondered why they did not have any children. It was terrible to know about 5 miscarriages. Queen Fabiola is a strong woman.

Queen Fabiola was very courageous.

I heard about 2 - 3 miscarriages but 5?!
Queen Fabiola nad her late husband are a pattern of brave, strong truth and specially love to spite of the contrary to destiny.
But on the other hand maybe it was their destiny. Show us someday that even royals are human too. That they can have problems like us and to spite them they becoming stronger together (faith to God, themselves and eachother, love).
