Queen Astrid of Belgium.
She died in an accident in Switzerland on a 1935 Packard Eight Convertible, driven by her husband, King Leopold III.

It is not her, but closer than this without being right is not possible.

It is not Astrid and so also not 1935 Packard Eight Convertible.

I will lock this puzzle for you till youre next reply as you are close.

LOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!

Princess Liliane de Réthy, the second wife of King Leopold III
The car associated to her is the Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, which was custom-built for her by Pininfarina.

This was not the only custom-built Ferrari for Liliane de Réthy. 
There was also a 250 Europa GT by Vignale (S/N 0359 GT).
Very nice:
