But in the long run, Astrid always seems to be the one remembered as the 'most beloved queen'.<br /><br />I agree that Astrid's tragic early death is probably part of the reason for this, but then she also just seems to have been one of those charismatic personalities with an indefinable 'something'.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666114716955489883.post-22181934100430176032011-09-26T21:52:24.037-04:002011-09-26T21:52:24.037-04:00I think Elisabeth was just as popular, as populari...I think Elisabeth was just as popular, as popularity can be very subjective. <br />I think Astrid's early death may have drawn people's sympathy to her, of course.

I've always liked that one of Queen Elizabeth, her eyes are so striking in that one.
