She was indeed. And as a child, the most beautiful little girl I think I have ever seen - it's almost surreal: http://worldroots.com/brigitte/gifs5...den1910-67.jpg

I've seen that picture before and you could really think you were looking at a picture of a doll!
I've seen some old video footage of her with one of her grandchildren running up to her to hug her and I thought they were going to knock her down, shelooked kind of frail, (probably because of her size)but she caught him!:p

LOL - I bet she did. I think queen Ingrid could do whatever she set her mind on doing :) There are lots of other really pretty pictures of Ingrid at the Worldroots link if you haven't already seen them.

I do remember reading something on the order of this; that she always referred to Louise as her "Stepmother". I believe that their relationship was quite frosty. I don't know how it was between her brothers and Louise, but there was not any love lost between Louise and Ingrid. Actually, she always had photos and items of her mother's about her. I believe that she always felt the loss of her mother and that was why she was an extraordinary mother and wife and her daughters as well as their children are so close. She was an extraordinary woman and Queen, in my honest opinion.

and also she kept her mother's interest for gardening alive plus naming her daughter Margrethe, which is Danish for Margaret / Margaretha, with the nick name Daisy, as her mother.

i agree she was an extraordinary woman and Queen.

Extraordinary women are not cold and cruel to people who never did any harm to them.
Her stepmother was married to her father for over 40 years, she deserved some kind of respect, plus I think she deserved to be a grandmother to Ingrid's daughters. How narrow-minded and cruel of Ingrid.
Sorry, family is family, it doesn't have to be BLOOD.

What did Ingrid do to her stepmother that was so cruel? I don't know very much about her relationship with Louise, I just had the general idea that it wasn't very warm.

Well, it does seem cruel on Ingrid's part! However..imagine her situation:
you lose your beloved mother as a ten year old. At the royal court the grief is smoothed over, denied, they just didn't deal with it. In royal environments you didn't expose your grief in those days.

Her father is busy with his duties, and Ingrid is left with nannies most of the time. She can open her little heart to Stina Reutersvärd, a lady in waiting of Princess Margaretha.

The introduction of Lady Louise Mountbatten in 1923 was a almost a "fait-accompli". According to a source of mine (see below), Crown Prince Gustav Adolf asked his two elder sons "would they mind if he marry again?" , but they don't speak their mind. As it turned out, "Aunt Louise" was introduced at the royal court at a formal event event staged by Queen Victoria, and the esp. the younger children found the situation akward and difficult to deal with.

Ingrid's elder brother Sigvard later wrote in his memoirs, that as the only girl Ingrid was used to being the centre of attention, she was strong willed and her father adored her. Aunt Louise never stood a chance in that relationship.

Sigvard thought that "the little angel" must have been the subject of many a marital argument between CP Gustaf Adolf and CP Louise!

The first time CP Louise went to Sofiero, the summer home in southern Sweden, Princess Ingrid has placed pictures of her mother all over the place! BTW a trick Ingrid would use later!!
(My source: Annelise Bistrup: Dronning Ingrid, Aschehoug 1997.)

She is in the top 5 (if not #1) of my favorite Queens.

In danish media she was only referred as Queen. I´ve never heard her being called dowager queen even though she actually was.

I don´t know her exact last official duty but as to my rememberance (sp?) she was active until almost the very last. Someone correct me if I´m wrong

She has been referred to as enkedronning Ingrid (Dowager Queen Ingrid) on occasions (as in this article on Frederik and Mary moving into her old home) - but Dronning Ingrid was the most frequent form.

Queen Ingrid never held the title Dowager Queen but was styled Queen Ingrid for life. Meaning that during her daughters reign and while she was still alive Denmark oficially had two queens. Though only one Monarch.

This was the request of the young Monarch back in 1972 when her father had just died, that her mother not be dowager queen, but to be titled Queen Ingrid also in future.
