• Notes

  She has three brothers (one of whom died in 1995) and three sisters. Upon finishing her training as a nurse she started work in a hospital in Madrid. In addition to Spanish, Queen Fabiola speaks fluent French, Dutch, English, German and Italian. Queen Fabiola has been involved in social and cultural activities ever since her youth, as is shown by her childrens stories "The Twelve Marvellous Tales of Queen Fabiola" and the way in which she cared for the sick during her time as an auxiliary nurse. "The Tales of Queen Fabiola" has been translated into several languages. At her request, the royalties from the sale of the French and Dutch editions of the book go to the Oeuvre Nationale de l'Enfance (the National Childrens Charity). She married King Baudouin of Belgium on December 15, 1960. The new Queen of the Belgians took a keen interest in the cultural and social life of the country. She presides over the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition of Belgium and is honorary president of the King Baudouin Foundation which aims at improving the living conditions of the population. The Queen is well aware of current problems relating to the education and moral and physical well-being of young people. She has created a social secretariat at the Royal Palace to respond to requests which pour in from all corners of the country. This social secretariat has now been taken over by Queen Paola. In the past, Queen Fabiola worked as a nurse in a hospital in Madrid and has always had a special interest in health care. Therefore she now lends her support to medical and social charities for children and encourages the study, prevention and treatment of learning difficulties and psycho-social and cultural backwardness in children through the Queen Fabiola National Foundation for Mental Health. The Queen has also given her name to the Queen Fabiola University Children's Hospital, which caters exclusively to children. Following the death of her husband, King Baudouin, the Queen continued to pursue activities which reflect her deep concern for the underprivileged. She is member of the group of spouses of various heads of states, which launched an initiative to promote the economic advancement of women in rural areas, particularly those living in less developed countries. In February 1992, Queen Fabiola and Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Secretary-General of the United Nations, chaired a meeting of 70 First Ladies who had come to speak in favour of the adoption of the Geneva Convention on the Advancement of Women in Rural Areas. On February 24, 1994 she also chaired, this time in Brussels, a meeting designed to assess the results of the implementation of the "Geneva Declaration" . Queen Fabiola has been invited by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to form part of a group of personal advisers to prepare the Fourth Conference on Women (Beijing, September 1995) and has attended preparatory conferences in Vienna and Dakar and three meetings of the Consultative Group. At the Conference in Brussels, Queen Fabiola had also been chosen by the International Steering Commitee to address the Beijing Conference on behalf of rural women. In May 1996, the Steering Commitee met again in Amman, under the presidency of H.M. Queen Noor of Jordan.
