Not to mention that both Margareth of Connaught and Victoria of Baden were daughters of prussian princesses.
Many of the Swedish royal princes have got married in the bride's home country, Gustav VI Adolf got married twice in England; Gustav V married Victoria of Baden inKarlsruhe in Germany; Oscar II married Sophia of Nassau in Germany, Oscar I and Joséphine of Leuchtenberg were wedded twice, first a Catholic cermony in Germany without the groom present and then a Lutheran cermony in Stockholm. So Gustav Adolf followed in the tradition of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather.4.) How come his marriage to Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha occurred in Germany? I mean, he was the first son of the first prince to the senior prince up to the king .. one would have thought that marriage would occur in Sweden?????
It was fabulous to learn that so many Swedish princes married their fiancées in the bride's home country.Many of the Swedish royal princes have got married in the bride's home country, Gustav VI Adolf got married twice in England; Gustav V married Victoria of Baden inKarlsruhe in Germany; Oscar II married Sophia of Nassau in Germany, Oscar I and Joséphine of Leuchtenberg were wedded twice, first a Catholic cermony in Germany without the groom present and then a Lutheran cermony in Stockholm.

Among the 22 persons killed at the crash were U.S. opera singer Grace Moore (age 48) and the Danish actress Gerda Neumann (age 32) who was travelling with her husband and her brother's nephew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_KLM_Douglas_DC-3_Copenhagen_accidentAt the time of the very unfortunate airplane accident there were rumors that the beautiful young women (I believe she was a performer - singer?) onboard was not just another passenger.
Svensk Damtidning has in this week's issue an article of prince Gustaf Adolf. Although he was baptized as Gustaf Adolf, everyone in the family called him Edmund. And his mother Margareta sometimes called him Västerbotten because she thought it sounded so nice.

Edmund would be a great name for another baby boy in the family if one would be born.
