what about Princess Astrid and Archiduc Lorenz ?
SpiffyBallerina said:Beatrix met Claus at a dinner party. From then on, Prince Richard acted as a decoy (he and Claus were old friends) so Claus and Beatrix could spend some more time getting to know each other without the pressure from the public. Then some random photographer hid in the garden and took this fuzzy picture of an unsuspecting Beatrix and Claus and their little secret was out!

so the crownprincely couples have really different situations; according to how they met, and how long after they met eachother, they got married...
letizia and felipe got married really fast isn 'it?
And mathilde and philipe took a bit longer to get to know eachother..
that is all very interesting to look at I think.. I like this thread!
BurberryBrit said:For the royals that married people of a non-royal, non-socialite background (Alexandra, Angela Brown), I wonder how they even managed to be in a position to meet. I mean, I wouldn't expect to run into a prince at any place I went to, you know? I guess it was just Fate/the right timing?

Sira said:You are true Jess Rulz, which means Olympic brought luck to many royal couples.

I´m not sure about that, i read they met at a birthday party of a friend they had in common.tigerlilly2005 said:Princess Caroline and Stefano Casiraghi in 1981 or 1982 in a disco in Monte-Carlo

Some of the Younger royals.
Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel met at the gym he owned. He was her personal trainer.
Prince Carl Philip and Sofia met while he was dining with a friend and she walked by with her friends at Båstad. Their friends knew each other.
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met at University. They read the same classes and lived in the same hall. Plus some of her friends knew some of hers.
Earl and Countess of Wessex met when his tennis partner couldn't come so she got paired up with him instead.
So many cute stories
How cute! I only knew a vague version of it!Earl and Countess of Wessex met at a real tennis PR event which Sophie worked for. Sue Barker the original person who was going to pose with Edward couldn't turn up so Sophie was chosen to do it as she was pretty and blonde. Edward took an immediate liking to her and shortly after contacted her to thank her for all the work she had done and asked her out ro dinner. He obviously had an ulterior motive! It's a nice way to meet each other and on their wedding cake they had tennis rackets at the top as a nod to how they met.

Yeah, I love those chance storys. I know of an old couple (sorry for going OT but it's so cute) that met at night. She was hanging with some friends and started leaning at a door. The door swung open and she fell into a porcelain store. The door was unlocked even though it was night and an alarm went of when she fell in. He was the night watchman and that is how they metIt is cute and complete stroke of luck because if Sue had been there that day then Sophie would never have had her photo taken with Edward
It's always nice to see how everyone meets.
Does anyone know how these royals met?
Queen Mother and George VI
Prince Floris and Princess Aimee
