Astrid Sofia Lovisa Thyra of Sweden (17 November 1905 - 29 August 1935) was the Queen consort of Leopold III of Belgium.
Princess Astrid of Sweden was born in Stockholm on 17 November 1905. She was the niece of King Gustav V of Sweden, since she was the youngest daughter of the king's brother, Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland, and his wife, Princess Ingeborg of Denmark. Astrid's paternal grandfather was King Oscar II of Sweden and her maternal grandfather was King Frederick VIII of Denmark. Astrid's sister, Princess Märtha, married the future King Olav V of Norway. Her eldest sister, Princess Margaretha of Sweden married Prince Axel of Denmark, while her only brother Prince Carl, Duke of Östergötland, married morganatically. Astrid was raised on the family estates in the Swedish countryside (Barjansky) and grew up into a lovely and gracious young woman, with a keen interest in Swedish folklore (Graham).
