Prince Bertil (1912-1997)

[Furienna]

I think Bertil looked a lot like his mother Margareth.

Prince Bertil's mother was the Brittish princess Margareth of Connaught. She was our crown princess for thirteen years. She was pregnant when she became sick and died, only thirtyeight years old.

Happy anniversary, Prince Bertil and Princess Lillian :)

I love (then) Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and Crown Princess Margaret's family. Their children were so beautiful, and it's a shame that Margaret died early, she would have made such a wonderful queen, and there would have been another beautiful Swedish baby in the family.

Two more from Riviera in 1991, Bertil and Lilian were such a wonderful couple:

I was just looking at the pictures in this thread, and I was curious if Elizabeth II attended his funeral. There's a woman sitting next to Prince Philip who *could be* her, but her head is down, so it's hard to tell.

That would be some tribute, if she did. She attends very few funerals, especially outside England. (I remember her going to Baudouin's but that's about it.)

No it's not Queen Elizabeth. I can not rtecoginze the woman but i think it could be Queen Beatrix.
