EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Prince Carl of Sweden, Duke of Vastergotland (1861-1951), is captured with his beloved wife, Princess Ingeborg of Denmark (1878-1958), and their two young daughters, Princess Margareta (1899-1977) and Princess Marta (1901-1954), at their summer residence, Parkudden, situated on Djurgarden in Stockholm, Sweden. The year is 1902. Prince Carl, the eldest son of King Gustaf V of Sweden, married his Danish cousin, Princess Ingeborg, in 1897. Their union produced five children: Margareta, Marta, Gustaf Adolf, Ingrid, and Birgitta. The family's summer home at Parkudden offered a tranquil retreat from the formalities of royal life, allowing them to enjoy the picturesque surroundings of Djurgarden and the beautiful waters of Stockholm's archipelago. In this image, the family appears relaxed and happy, with the girls playfully interacting with their father and mother. The girls, dressed in elegant summer outfits, are the epitome of youthful innocence, while their parents exude a sense of contentment and love. The setting, with its lush greenery and serene waters, adds to the idyllic atmosphere, making this photograph a beautiful snapshot of royal family life in early 20th century Sweden. Prince Carl and Princess Ingeborg's marriage was a significant one, as it strengthened the close ties between Sweden and Denmark. Their daughters, Margareta and Marta, went on to marry German and Norwegian princes, respectively, further cementing the bonds between the Scandinavian monarchies. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and familial connections that have shaped the royal families of Sweden and Denmark.
