Biography

About

Born 11 October 1927, Joséphine-Charlotte was the first child of Belgium's King Leopold III, older sister to two future kings and eventually aunt to a third. Her marriage to Grand Duke Jean made her Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, a role she occupied until 2005. Through her father she traced lines to Queen Elizabeth II; through her mother she was first cousin to Norway's King Harald V and second cousin to Denmark's former Queen Margrethe II. She died 10 January 2005, having spent nearly half a century at the center of one of Europe's smallest but oldest sovereign houses.
