Frauen für die Krone

Profession: Queen Monarchs fascinate, even though they no longer hold political power. While state affairs were once firmly in the hands of men, the royals have now arrived in the 21st century: Half of Europe's monarchies will soon be ruled by women thanks to new succession laws. Princesses Elisabeth of Belgium, Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, Victoria and Estelle of Sweden, as well as Infanta Leonor of Spain, are well-prepared for the crown and scepter. From a young age, they learn how to handle the media, take on responsibilities, represent, and present themselves in a modern way, often guided by their middle-class mothers like Queen Máxima, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, or Queen Letizia, who navigate the smooth royal terrain with confidence. Royal expert Lisbeth Bischoff sheds light on the role of women on the thrones of the present and future, providing fascinating insights behind royal palace walls.
