She was Queen of the Belgians for thirty-three years, married to King Baudouin in a union that produced no heir — five pregnancies, five miscarriages, and a crown that passed sideways when he died.

Biography

About

Fabiola Fernanda María-de-las-Victorias Antonia Adelaida de Mora y Aragón was born on 11 June 1928. She married King Baudouin in 1960, becoming Queen of the Belgians at his side. The marriage carried private grief: all five of her pregnancies ended in miscarriage, leaving the couple without children. When Baudouin died in 1993, the throne passed to his younger brother, Albert II. Fabiola lived another two decades as dowager queen, dying on 5 December 2014.
