| | Astrid of Sweden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | She was the third daughter of Prince Carl, Duke of Westrogothia, and his wife Princess Ingeborg of Denmark. |
 | | Swedish Royalty was far less formal than those of middle Europe and at Stuyvenberg, not far away from the King's Laeken Palace, Astrid tried to live as ordinary a life as possible, taking care of her children. |
 | | On August 29, 1935, while she and her husband were driving along the winding, narrow roads near their villa at Küssnacht am Rigi, Schwyz, Switzerland on the shores of Lake Lucerne, Leopold lost control of the vehicle and the car plunged down a ravine, killing Queen Astrid. |
