    My Biography

    Her Grace Angela Elizabeth Cappelletti Saxe Duchess of Italy, United Kingdom, France, and Austria. Quand j'étais enfant, je suis allé à la maternelle plus tard, je suis allé en première et deuxième année et ainsi de suite. Jusqu'à ... la 7ème à la 9ème année, nous étions 4, avions des tuteurs. Les professeurs sont venus chez nous en Italie. C’est la raison pour laquelle il n’existe aucune trace de nous devant étudier où. When I was a child, I went to kindergarten, later on, I went to first and second grade and so on. Up until... 7th grade to 9th grade, the 4 of us, had Tutors. Teachers came to our house in Italy. That's why there is no record of us having to study where.

    My Anscestor my great, great, great grand maman Marie Antointte of Austria and France.

    One of my ancestors was a very popular Queen. At age 14, she entered the Court of France, Versailles. At age 17, she became Queen. For her, at the tender age of being in her teens, it was natural to see all things beautiful and fun. I have even added makeup to her visage and a hair. A very gorgeous wig. :) At age 37, she was killed. Moral of the story. Never allow a kid or a teenager to embrace a Government Court too early. King Louis (pardon, but he was not even good of a man for that matter) should have married a French woman. And my Great great great grand maman, wouldn´t have died like that nor her son, have a such a tragic and traumatic life and death.

Queen Elizabeth bucked protocol by having Prince Philip present during the birth of Prince Edward. It’s believed he held her hand during the birth, too. Queen Victoria had nine children between 1840 and 1857 – four boys and five girls, despite it being well known that she not only ‘dreaded’ childbirth but wasn’t particularly fond of her children either. Despite the era, Queen Victoria had her three youngest children after the age of 30, something that wasn’t common at the time – her youngest, Princess Beatrice, was born in 1857, when the Queen was 37. Following in her grandmother’s footsteps, Zara’s second daughter Lena was born just last June, when Zara had celebrated her 37th birthday. Zara and husband Mike also have another daughter, Mia, born in January 2014. Royal baby fever officially kicked off in 2013 when Kate gave birth to her and Prin...
