But what about the next generation of European Queens? HELLO! takes a look at future female rulers.
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden
When Crown Princess Victoria ascends to the Swedish throne, she will become the fourth female monarch in the country’s history. The eldest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Victoria was born in July 1977, followed by Prince Carl Philip in May 1979, and Princess Madeleine three years later, in June 1982.

Interestingly, there was a period of time when she was not heir apparent, however. Her younger brother became heir to the Swedish throne upon his birth, a position he held for seven months. Everything changed in January 1980 when a change in constitution came into effect, which made the natural birth order the basis for succession. It was from this point forward that Victoria became the nation's future queen.
Princess Estelle of Sweden
Crown Princess Victoria will herself be succeeded by her own daughter, Princess Estelle. Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel were married in June 2010 and welcomed little Estelle on 23 February 2012. Their second child, Prince Oscar, was born on 2 March 2016.

Estelle will make history when she ascends to the throne. She will be the first female in Swedish history to be born with the right to inherit the crown that cannot be superseded by the birth of a male heir, as well as the first person in Swedish history to be born of a female heir apparent.
Princess Leonor of Spain
Princess Leonor is the heir presumptive to the Spanish throne as the eldest daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. When she ascends to the throne, the 17-year-old will be the first queen regnant since Isabella II, who reigned from 1833 to 1868. Leonor has a younger sister, Infanta Sofia, who was born in April 2007.
Princess Leonor is now studying at UWC Atlantic College in Wales
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is the elder child of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and is currently second-in-line to succeed her grandfather King Harald V. The 18-year-old is expected to become the country's second female monarch, after the 15th-century Queen Margaret.

Princess Catharina-Amalia of The Netherlands
Princess Catharina-Amalia is the eldest child of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. She became heir apparent at the age of nine, when her father ascended the throne in April 2013 following his mother Queen Beatrix's abdication.
In a rare interview in 2013, the king shared his approach to parenting Amalia, in the knowledge that she will one day reign.

"You must first get to know yourself through and through. That's what I am constantly emphasizing with Amalia," Willem-Alexander told Dutch author Wilfried de Jong. "I keep saying: know your own limits. Go everywhere. Make mistakes, as far as possible out of the eyes of the public. I did that, a lot. Festivals, parties, everything and more - find your boundaries. It is a good thing to do, without doing it in the public domain."
Amalia has two younger sisters: Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane.
