“Princess Margaret of Connaught stroking the face of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, it was such a lovely gesture. It is a pity that the two departed early in life.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15

Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden by Oscar Björck (oil on canvas, 1909)

Elegance is the keyword to describe Oscar Björck's colourful portrait of the young Princess Margareta. The crown princess is painted in her apartment on the lower floor of the northwest wing of the Royal Palace of Stockholm. She stands in the Green Room, in front of a large 18th-century tapestry. Next to her is Sergel's bust of Queen Sofia Magdalena.

The portrait was painted by Oscar Björck, one of Prince Eugen's best and oldest friends. The painting was exhibited at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914.

The portrait can be seen in the East Guard's Hall of the Bernadotte Apartments at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, Duchess of Connaught and Strathearn, 1879.

This painting is a copy painted by Robert A. Müller for Queen Victoria of an original portrait by Von Angeli, dated 1879, at Bagshot Park. When the Duke of Connaught saw the original portrait in November 1878 he wrote to the Queen to describe it: ‘It is really lovely, so like & yet so pretty & natural – She is taken three quarters face in a low gown of a creamy colour, her hair quite plain, my locket round her neck on a thin gold chain, & that ruby & diamond star left her by her Grandmama in her dress… I tell you the particulars as I think they may interest you.’ (x)

[royal-confessions]

“Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh and Duchess Louise Margaret of Connaught have some similarities; both married princes who were far from inheriting the crown and arrived unpretentiously. However, their efforts and dedication to the British monarchy were exceptional, and they stood out for winning not only the respect of their husbands, but also the affection of their illustrious mothers-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15
