Queen Ingrid (1910-2000)

When I visited Amalienborg Castle I saw the King's Royal Desk. Unchanged it was full of pictures of his wife and daughters. He was a loving husband and a loving Father.

Regarding the relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter, Ingrid's brothers Sigvard and Carl-Johan have said that although cool at the beginning the relationship evolved to become a good one but that they were never close.

Did Queen Ingrid teach Swedish to her daughters? Since they visited their Swedish relatives regularly, I would assume she did, but I am curious to know.

Very classic.

Around 1950 I'd guess.

A very formal and regal looking photo of the king and queen.
