The head of the girls' physical education department at my old high school is 13 years older than her husband. When I was first there in the fall of 2004, she was 40 and newly pregnant with her first child, a boy. He was born in May of my grade 9 year, three weeks early. One Friday when our regular teacher was out sick, she took us into the weight room and demonstrated something on one of the machines. Needless to say she had the baby over the weekend. She went on to have another boy a few years later.

Where is the thread for “Royal Wives With Younger Husbands”?

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

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!!!

It was pure necessity for the 62-years old King Willem III of the Netherlands, Grand-Duke of Luxembourg, as he outlived his first spouse Queen Sophie, Princess von Württemberg and all of their children. The Dutch Royal House was on the verge of extinction. So the widowed King searched a new spouse, which he found in the 21-years old Princess Emma von Waldeck und Pyrmont.

It really doesn’t matter if they are suited. My mother was born August 1913, my father May 1919. They married in 1942, she passed in 1998 age 84, he in 2003 also age 84. They were very happy together for 55 years. My SIL was a few months older than her late husband, they were together for 48 years.
