I meant it somewhat tongue in cheek; remember the Miller daughters all married men who could satisfy anyone seeking the status money can't buy..Chantal a prince of Greece, her sister a Von Furstenberg, and the eldest married American royalty, a real Getty. (Some of these mariages didn't turn out that great as we know, but anyway, that's a different thread)
And my oh my, wouldn't these Miller girls in their heart of hearts have loved to marry even better than they did, namely a crown prince of an EXISTING throne, an Italian Marquis, and the third..well...tbd.
All I'm saying is, the D'Udekem girls, lovely as I believe they are, certainly marry within their own class, as is expected of them, boringly so almost. A Princess Stephanie that family didn't yield, is what I'm saying.
No kidding, I totally agree with you: Mathilde is the classiest of the current crop of crown princesses in my opinion, hands down. She's got this perfect mix of being the star yet not overpowering her husband, but being an asset to him in a very positive way without seeming demure or coming across as less intelligent than he is, on the contrary. She also comes across as having respect for her fellow humans somehow in a way that even 'queen of hearts' Diana wished she possessed. Mathilde's a natural, and besides her sister, the only one who's coming close, by sheer will it seems, is Letizia, who's a study in modesty these days. Maxima is compared to Mathilde, akin to a somewhat crude (but friendly!) farmer, always overshadowing her shy husband whenever she gets a chance. (remember Maxima's wedding? Was Alexander even there? Didn't see him, no one did.) And Mary, she is a bit of a cipher to me even now. Can't decide if her photogenicness is a post-Fred add-on or what.
Mathilde though is an amazing crown princess but her sister Elisabeth also carries that special D'Udekem karma as her wedding pictures prove. If Elisabeth had married a crown prince of her own, she'd be as just great as a royal consort, I'd bet.
