Excellent! Very well done and there were quite a few pictures I'd never seen before. I think the ones of Queen Astrid with the children are my favorites.
Thank you! That is very much appreciated.
I just wish these videos wouldn't show up as black screens, when they're not playing.
Just a small and silly correction: Queen Elisabeth was not "of Bavaria", but "in Bavaria". She belonged to a collateral branch of the House of Wittelsbach, who were granted the title of Dukes "in" Bavaria.
You are correct, her title before her marriage was "Duchess in Bavaria."
I have, however, seen her called "Elisabeth of Bavaria," in a looser sense, when the title is not being used.
