Mathilde's wedding dress was not the best, but she looked so beautiful that day. She really glowed.

Mathilde has so wonderful personality. She's warm, feminine, natural and joyful. She's a classy woman and always knows how to behave. People like her are often called angels. Mathilde is the opposite of Charlene.

I don't hear much about her here in the USA so It is nice to know something about her personality and how she serves her country. Mathilde is half Polish and no doubt her upbringing and family heritage have so much to do with her becoming the wonderful princess that she is. She seems to embody what a princess should be; cultured, educated, well-mannered, multi-lingual, expressing intelligent interests in cultural and social issue, respectful of her position and probably there is more to admire.
