And even before that , Lord Mountbatten reportedly tried to match King Carl Gustaf with Princess Anne, but apparently Carl Gustaf was not interested.
Those British/Swedish matches are recurrent because members of the two royal houses really match very well in terms of age and religion. Madeleine for example would have been perfect for William.
I like the idea of Gabriel and Leonor, or Elisabeth and a Lichtenstein Prince. After the fall of the monarchy in France, Italy, Portugal , Bavaria and Austria, there are few reigning Catholic royal families and An interdynastic marriage between those who are left would be great. I guess the last one involving ruling families was between GD Jean and Princess Josephine Charlotte and that was a long time ago.
EDIT: It has just occurred to me that , if Elisabeth of Belgium married one of the younger sons of Prince Alois, for example Nikolaus who is about her age I think, then her children, including the possible future King or Queen of the Belgians , would also be in the Jacobite line of succession to the British throne, wouldn’t they ? That would be an interesting development !
This is so true. There's just a few remaining Catholic royal families and yes, Leonor and Gabriel would be a great match.
Actually the last interdynastic marriage to date was with Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein and Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg (m. 1982)
As with Elisabeth marrying Nikolaus, it's a beautiful combination too. The Jacobite line of succession will surely be a great point of topic if that's the case.
Any Princesses for Pablo Nicolás Urdangarin? He is growing up so fast and is very handsome too.
