I reply to a thread by Drimal from 01/12/2005 any several answers to this thread
First of all, princess JC did not lose both her parents at the age of seven but only her mother Astrid from Sweden, her father survived the car incident with minor injuries
Nevertheless, in those days she might of had an education provided by nanny's rather then her father and/or other family members
The loss of a mother and an aducation with a poor amount of family-tenderness might be a very traumatic experience on itself
It wouldn't stop there either, after WWII her father was forced by the Belgian government to abdicate in favour of his eldest son Baudewijn over so calded 'scandals' involving the King with Nazi Germany etc etc (accusations never really proved)
This, today to us might seem, things out of the past, which they are
Nevertheless, for JC in those days, this might very well of have been yet another traumatic experience
In my opinion, these kind of experiences shapes one in life. Shapes one in a certain kind of way, not always in the nicest
For me JC was a very outspoken lady, it is enough to watch a few TV interviews with her... she was certainly not a lady who was going to mirror herself and others some fairytale stories
As I said, she was without any doubt outspoken and many people do not appreaciate this properly
