Excuse me, CJ: in French there are no accents on capitals !
Memory aid: Only in English speaking countries as well as families this name is spelled with a Z.
She was from Bavaria and Queen of the Belgians.
The official name of the competition, in English, is

Excuse me Micaela Bonetti, but in French there are accents on capital letters (see any printed book), only you couldn’t put them with a writing machine, but with a computer you can, which is just as well, because they can change not only the pronunciation, but the meaning.

Bravo Hayoung!
