Visit by queen Fabiola in 1983 to the Willy Vandersteen Studio in Kalmthout, Belgium
Wonderful video. What language was Queen Fabiola speaking? I didn't recognize it as French...was it Dutch?
Do you know that Balenciaga had to do the Evening Dresses for the State Visit of their
Majesties to France .
For the Gala of the first Evening the dress came too late and General de Gaulle had to wait more than 30 minutes and was not that happy!
The Queen alas did a miscariage.
Yes...Fabiola was carrying her first doomed pregnancy during this visit and became ill. De Gaulle actually sent his personal physician to attend her despite his earlier irritation with the delay caused by the mixup with the dresses.
Queen Fabiola returned to Belgium and suffered her first miscarriage there.(FABIOLA, LA REINE BLANCHE auth. Guy Michelland)
Moonmaiden , you are well informed .
The Pope announced the Queen was pregnant , but she had a miscarriage, I Think this was the first one ? I did not keep the book la reine Blanche , could you see ?
Is that Dona Blanca between Baudouin and Fabiola?Thanks Moonmaiden,
An Ard Ri, this picture is the Presentation of Dona Fabiola to the Press and the Belgians the day of their Engagement in laeken.

Its a wonderful photo of the Belgian golden couple.
Yes, I remembered the front page of this Paris Match
Nobody knew that the king Baudoin was engaged with a spanish countess even his father and his step mother the princess Lilian, they learnt the engagement at the same time of the people of Belgium, after the book, (la reine Blanche)
The man behind the king Leopold on the photo was the brother of the queen Fabiola, Gonzalo de Mora Y Riera
Queen Fabiola made five misccarriages
The medias sopke about the first in 1961, the second in september 1963, I remember the photo of the king Baudoin praying on his knees at Lourdes for Fabiola and the baby she was expecting but she made a misccariage and in july 1967, three days after the announce of king Baudoin announcing that they were waiting a child in their home, the queen Fbiola almost died, she did a misccariage
The book Fabiola , reine blanche said that the queen did a misccarriage in 1962 and in 1968
I remember, in 1963 the medias announced the pregnancy of queen Elizabeth who was expecting her fourth child and the misccariage of Fabiola
A very happy happy news and a very sad news in a same evening
I think one of her pregnancies was so far advanced that it was considered a stillbirth rather than a miscarriage..a female, delivered at 5-6 months in July 1966.
Fabiola required emergency surgery and nearly lost her life.
