JUNE 1956 || During their State Visit to Sweden, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were accompanied to the History Museum by King Gustaf Adolf of Sweden.

She was given a guided tour of the museum and looked at the various artifacts present as she listened with great interest.

King Gustaf Adolf who was himself interested in history and science and must have been a great person to tour the museum with.

"Today I think of my great-grandmother Crown Princess Margareta. She was born Margaret of Connaught at Bagshot Park in 1882 and married the Swedish King to be, Gustaf Adolf. Even though her life was all too short, she had a great impact on our country with her openness and liberal values."
