Hello All-
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books either in French or English on: Queen Paola Queen Fabiola Princess Astrid Princess Mathilde Also, I would like to know if Astrid and Mathilde get along? Ihave not seen any photos of them together. The same for Mathilde and Paola and Fabiola. Do they all get along? |

Hello,
Are there any books out on the Royal Family of Belgium that might be recommended? I have been perusing the threads on this family and find them of great interest. Best, NAP

I have about five, but all of them are in French. It's a shame because I agree with you, they are a fascinating read! I can read French fairly well but I do wish I could get something good in English.
The only one I know of( inEnglish) is "A Throne In Brussels" by Paul Belien but I warn you that it is written from the perspective of very anti-Belgium, pro-separatist writer. Mr Belien has NO use for the dynasty at all, and everyone comes off very badly, with the possible exception of Baudouin and even he takes some hits for his handling of the Congo crisis, and for his near fanatical(in Mr Belien's view) Catholicism. Belien is brutal with the other members of the family, namely Leopold II, Leopold III, and Albert and Paola. |

If you could present the titles of those books, I would appreciate it. My spoken French would cause me to be murdered, but I can usually get through written French with a healthy assist from a good translation dictionary for the first few hours until I "lever up."
I'll check into the "A Throne in Brussels." I appreciate the heads-up on the axe being ground!

No problem...I'll get all five of them and post them on Monday for you! Also, DO check out the thread on pg #3 of this topic entitled "Royal Belgian Books"...it's where I got most of the info on how to find books on the BRF...I particularly recommend "Queen Fabiola-La Reine Blanche" (The White Queen) very moving, it turned me into a lifelong fan of Her Majesty...she and her late husband King Baudouin had the most beautiful love story and inspiring marriage I have ever read about.
