Aww, congrats to her. I always forget that she had a fantastic career as a speech therapist/psychologist before getting married.

(And on a shallow note: she looks wonderful today.)

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Me too - I often forget about her previous career in speech therapy so I'm sure that this position was a great honour for her.
Like Mathilde I have also taken up an interest in speech and language and am hoping to work in the field once I complete my studies. It's such an important area that is often overlooked. So many children and young people have speech problems that could've been prevented.
