King Albert as a young man looks almost like an identical twin to Prince Phillip now!


Although King Albert and Queen Paola are looking older over the years, they are one of those rare couples who just look better and better the older they get.

Who is that Lady, next to HRH Princess Paola, the Princess of Liège??

Queen Paola looks like an amazing person/queen. She's one of those rare women who actually look better as they grow older. I'll bet there's a hard story behind her evolving into a queen who's face reveals compassion, understanding, caring and humility.

Why do you think Queen Paola likes to wear hats and other queens don't like. Queen Sofia of Spain usually doesn't wear hats ...

The Queen has a very good style and taste.
