Lovely news and what a fantastic pedigree both Emma and Maurits have! The bride-to-be has both Swedish and Douglas ancestry through her Berleburg grandmother.
This engagement really hits home how the Douglases are the Swedish family that has made the best matches during the last half-century or so.

Her father is a first cousin of the children of Benedikte and Richard which makes Emma the second cousin of their grandchildren.
