Belgian Waffle

My Belgian grandmother often told the story that she was named after Queen Astrid, who was her godmother. She also said she was once invited to play with the young princess but they fought over toys so she wasn't asked back. Was there ever any family connection to the Belgian royal family, or was it all just 'a load of waffle'?

This episode explores the validity of these seemingly tall tales, and my mother learns some things about her family that she never knew!
