Age difference between spouses

[michelleq]

I know that Princess Alexandra of Denmark is 5 years older than her husband, Prince Joachim. They seem to have a very good marriage. I was wondering, what other Royal Wives are older than their husbands (Husbands need not be royal)? I have always thought that in Europe it really didn't matter as much as it does in the states.

Age doesn't matter as long as they do love each other.

[Josefine]

so there are a few royals where the woman is older then the man.,..

 

[wittykitty]

It used to be fairly common in a book on succesion and heraldry in medieval to present the wife was between 1 year or 6 years Eleanor was henry's first wife but she was older and I think his father was a couple of years younger this his wife too.Wittykitty

in 1977 my mom was younger and my dad was older but its really odd for me im not sure what years is!

mostly Royals who is older or younger whatever!

how about Earl and Countess of Wessex? Prince and Princess of Wales? Duke and Duchess of York? Princess Anne and her first husband and second husband who is older or young in Royal Family.

Royal Husbands With Younger Wives

im sure about another thread with older Royal husband with younger wife

i remind Princess Diana got Prince Charles since met Althorp in 1977 but Prince Charles is older and Diana is younger! how fair ages is!

im not sure about Earl and Countess of Wessex? because Prince Edward is older than Sophie but its almost same ages different birth years he born in 1964 and Sophie was born in 1965.

and also Duke and Duchess of York its would little same ages because Sarah,Duchess of York was born in 1959 and Prince Andrew was born in 1960 almost sames ages but she is older than Andrew.

have any Royals who have older husband and younger wife who more ages and she younger.

Aren't both CP Frederik and CP Felipe older than their respective wifes? I think they are something like 36 y.o. And CP Mary and CP Letitzia are 31 or 32 y.o. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

And back in history there was a rather large year gap between Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. I think King Willelm was 40 years older than Queen Emma!

 

[ally_cooper]

Crown Prince Felipe will have 37 on 30th and CP Letizia have 32 years-old.
And yes, King Willem was 41 years-old than his wife, Queen Emma!!!

 

[ally_cooper]

CP Frederik have 36 years and CP Mary will have 33 on February

Prince Phillip is a number of years older than the Queen.

Just five. Almost five (10 june 1921 - 21 april 1926).
I think is very usual, and it's also my favourite difference. Both my parents and my maternal grandparents have this gap.
