Hi. Princess Mathilde is so beautiful and graceful looking. What is she like?

Princess Mathilde is from a Belgian/Polish aristocratic background. When (God willing) she becomes Queen, she will be the first Belgian Queen to actually be of Belgian background. She seems like a lovely wife and mother, from everything I've heard. Four beautiful young children. She is a speech therapist by profession, which sounds really nice.

The official website of the Belgian monarchy has more info on her:

Yes, she seems like a capable woman of empathy and charm. I'm sure she will make a wonderful queen.
