Interesting that almost 1000 years after the first queen consort in Europe to be called Matilda assumed power, the latest gets her own website to mark the occasion. The Belgian royal house has just launched a special July 21st page full of pictures and facts about the royal family and a full agenda for the weekend when Albert II steps down and Philippe takes the crown.

If Kate has a baby princess of Cambridge on Sunday, the day of the Belgian abdication and accession, then is another future queen Matilda on the cards?
