  • Fabiola was often the most accessible member of the Belgian royal family. Her cheerfulness and zest were often contagious.

      She asked if young people with a mohawk had to use much hair spray and they told her they used gel.
      She got death threats from someone who wanted to shoot her with a crossbow. With the apple she referred to the story of Willem Tell, who could shoot an apple that was put on someone's head.
      In the Netherlands we know her best from the fairytale she wrote "the Indian water lilies". We call it "Fabiola's fairytale"

    Fabiola was a Spanish noblewoman but she worked as a nurse before she married which might help to explain her down to earth personality. Charming.

    Translation of the Dutch/Flemish (not the reporter):
    Guitarist: The next song we're playing is for the most special person here.
    Queen: If you only knew how they made the king dance during the summer
    Queen: When I look at the hairstyles of the young, I often wonder how they manage to set their hair so straight. Is it because of the lacquer (hairspray?) they can set it like that? How much lacquer do you need for that? Loads or just a bit?
    Guy: It's gel
    Queen: Ahh...it's gel, it's not lacquer. You learn something new every day!
    The scene with the apple resulted when some idiot threatened to shoot her with a crossbow....so, like William Tell, she carried an apple to the National Day celebrations and encouraged the guy to bring it on.
    Queen: Sir, take a photo with the flowers

      I know, right? As I read this video (without benefit of the native tongue) I see her dancing after the song is dedicated to her. Then, she says something like 'they said get up and dance so I said why not?' Then, she asks the guys how they get their hair to stand up and she's told hair gel. Then, she does her naughty apple trick and finally she asks where'd those flowers go? Then, when she gets them - voilà - her picture is now taken. Just a cute clip.
