Our Favorite Royal Women In Europe
They're glamorous, beloved, and looked upon with envy; there are some incredible royal women in Europe.
Whether they were born into their role or married into it in an enormous royal wedding broadcast to millions around the world on television, we look to them for tips on style, beauty, and grace.
Of course, it would be lying to say we aren't jealous of their charming husbands, sparkling tiaras, and massive royal residences. But, their roles can be difficult at times, and yet, they always make it look so easy.
Kate Middleton, The Duchess Of Cambridge
After their huge royal wedding in 2011, watched by millions around the world, Kate was the envy of millions of women around the world. She's become a style icon and after three children and a number of years in her role, Kate has become hugely confident in where's at.
At the Queen's recent Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace Kate showed how much she's grown into her role as a future Queen Consort.
Judi James, a body language expert, told the Daily Mail, "She greets guests comfortably, leaning out to them and engaging them in relaxed, animated-looking conversations, and her active listening signals, like her strong eye-engage; her one raised brow used as a tie-sign to signal humor and interest, and her symmetric, dimpled smile all suggest she has learnt the skills of the kind of royal charisma that the Queen herself excels in."
Princess Sofia of Sweden
Before marrying Prince Carl Philip of Sweden in 2015, she was a glamour model and reality television contestant. It's safe to say her beginning was quite different from where she is now.
The former model was photographed for Slitz magazine wearing nothing but bikini bottoms and a boa constrictor; she was also voted Miss Slitz 2004. She also starred in the reality t.v. show Paradise Hotel.
Her previous life caused a bit of controversy when her engagement to Prince Carl Philip was announced, however the couple was still married in June 2015 and she has since become one of the most popular royals in the world.
Queen Letizia of Spain
Before becoming Queen of Spain, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano was a journalist for ABC, and later became a news anchor at CNN+.
She married her husband Felipe in 2004, who was the Prince of Asturias at the time, and they've since had two daughters together, Leonor and Sofía.
She's beloved by the people in her country and praised for having a successful career before marrying into Spain's royal family.
She's most popular for her sense of fashion and has become quite the style icon around the world. She recently wore a Millennial pink blazer and trousers to the opening of an exhibit at Madrid's Royal Palace.
Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark
Way before Prince William and Kate Middleton made the world swoon with their modern day fairytale, there was Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark and her husband Crown Prince Frederik.
The couple met at the Slip Inn in Sydney during the 2000 summer Olympics and hit it off right away.
In 2003, they became engaged, and the media was whipped into a frenzy, completely obsessed with the love story of this royal couple. Their televised wedding was one of the most romantic we've ever seen, with Prince Frederik shedding many tears throughout.
These royal women are chic and graceful, with handsome husbands to match. And, who doesn't love a big royal wedding? Who will be the next glamorous royal we become obsessed with?
