QuoteWho is Queen Mathilde of Belgium?

Mathilde Marie Christiane Ghislaine d'Udekem d'Acoz was born on 20 January 1973. She is the oldest child of Jonkheer Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz and his wife, Countess Anna Maria Komorowska. Through her mother's paternal family, Mathilde has Polish noble ancestry, as well as Polish–Lithuanian Princely ancestry through her mother's maternal family. Her maternal grandmother was a Princess of the Polish-Lithuanian Princely House of Sapieha. Mathilde's father descends from French-speaking, Walloon nobles and was titled Jonkheer, the lowest title within the Belgian nobility system. As a result of this position within the nobility, Mathilde carried the title Jonkvrouw from birth.

The young noble grew up on her family's estate, Castle Losange in Villers-la-Bonne-Eau in the Bastogne municipality of Belgium, near the Luxembourgish border. Mathilde has four siblings: Jonkvrouw Marie-Alix d'Udekem d'Acoz (1974-1997); Margravine Elisabeth Pallavicini (born in 1977); Baroness Hélène Janssen (born in 1979); and Count Charles-Henri d'Udekem d'Acoz (born 1985). It was in Bastogne that Mathilde attended primary school before attending secondary school at the Institut de la Vierge Fidèle in Brussels, Belgium. This is the same secondary school that Stéphanie, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg would later attend during a period of her education.

From 1991-1994, Mathilde attended the Institut Libre Marie Haps in Brussels, where she studied speech therapy and graduated magna cum laude. Following this, Mathilde began studying psychology at the Université Catholique de Louvain and ran her own speech therapy practice in Brussels from 1995 until her marriage in 1999. She continued her studies after her marriage and received a master's degree in psychology in 2002.

I like the fact that Queen Mathilde, in 2001, as the Duchess of Brabant, had set up the Princess Mathilde Fund. Caring for vulnerable people is important. It requires inner dedication.
