Being queen seems to be one of her childhood dreams, which is understandable, because many girls dream of being a princess or a queen when they get older.

No public sign of this belief was to appear until many years later. In the summer of 1609, Galileo heard about a spyglass that a Dutchman had shown -1- in Venice.
