List of Belgian royal consorts
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 5 min
The wives of Belgian monarchs have all been titled Queen and styled Majesty, with the exception of Leopold III of Belgium's second wife Mary Lilian Baels, who was titled Princess of Belgium and Princess of Réthy. All Belgian monarchs so far have been male, so there have only been female consorts. There have been seven queen consorts of Belgium since 1832.
