#margareta of sweden

[romanovsonelastdance]

Princess Margareta of Sweden, born 25 June 1899.

Princess Margareta was a second cousin of OTMAA through the Danish line; her mother Ingeborg was the daughter of Maria Feodorovna's eldest brother Frederick. She and her sisters, Marta and Astrid, met OTMAA a few times in their childhood, and Margareta seemed to keep in touch with Maria Nikolaevna in particular, likely because they were almost exactly the same age; Margareta was only one day older. Letters exist from Margareta to "dear cousin Marie."

Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (22/∞) ♛

↬ Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara

Many tiaras within the royal vault are instantly recognizable, being worn by noted members of the family for most of their adult lives. Some, however, are more mysterious and have yet to be worn in public at all. The Gordon Aquamarine Kokoshnik is one of the more evasive tiaras in the vault, with its existence only being hinted at for the better part of seventy years. The tiara didn't enter royal hands through inheritance but through a substantial acquisition of jewellery. In 1962, King James II and Queen Katherine purchased an unknown amount of high jewels from their friend, Dame Martha Gordon. One of the acquired tiaras, the Gordon Lattice Tiara, became a favourite of the Queen, but a second aquamarine tiara was never worn in public. The reason for this is unknown, it's possible the tiara wasn't to the Queen's taste or that she did wear the tiara in private. Whatever the reason, evidence of the tiara was fickle until the early 21st century. However, there is evidence of the tiara's previous owner wearing the jewel. The well-travelled Mrs. Gordon was a frequent guest in royal circles and she was noted to be wearing a "halo-shaped tiara of aquamarines and diamonds" to the 1954 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Glencairin. In 1939, Martha commissioned the tiara from Boucheron after she was awe-struck by a similar piece owned by Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden. The tiara was recreated down to the enormous aquamarines and delicate lattice patterning. In early 2004, the tiara had a rare opportunity to emerge from the vault when Courtney Borroughs-Parker, the fiancée of King Louis V's second son Prince Phillip, chose it as her preferred bridal diadem. Media reports around the time claimed that Courtney had "fallen in love" with a tiara "with huge aquamarines that complimented her blue eyes perfectly". Many assumed the aquamarine tiara was the more popular Georgiyevna Tiara, but it was later revealed to be a "mystery tiara" that had never been seen before. However, in the weeks that followed, it was reported that Courtney had run into a roadblock in the form of Queen Irene's senior dresser, Diana Keating. Mrs. Keating, known as the gatekeeper of the royal family's private jewels, refused to clear the tiara for Courtney's use. Why Keating made this choice is unknown, but the ensuing drama cultivated in Queen Irene scolding her future daughter-in-law for "causing a scene". Ultimately, King Louis V purchased a tiara new tiara for Courtney. This tiara, known as the Woodbine Diamond Tiara, was the only tiara Courtney wore publicly during her marriage. The aquamarine kokoshnik once again returned to the vault, and hasn't been whispered of since. When or if the tiara will finally get its day in the sun remains a mystery, hopefully, we won't have to wait another 70 years.

Courtney, Duchess of Woodbine, poses in the tiara in an informal photograph that was later sent to her fiancé via email

Petra Mede may be called "the queen of Eurovision", but now she has to watch out because the competition in Malmö can count on real royal stardom.

According to information given to Aftonbladet, Crown Princess Victoria will visit the competition. The whole family, including Prince Daniel and the couple's children, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar, is said to be coming along.

- Yes, that is the plan, says an informant, who simultaneously emphasizes that it may change based on the current security situation.

The Eurovision Song Contest, other events, and the security situation in Sweden generally have meant that the police have stepped up into a "national special event" until the end of May. During the competition, the police in Malmö will receive reinforcements from the rest of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

According to information given to Aftonbladet, the Royal Court is therefore currently holding discussions with both SVT and the police to ensure that the Crown Princess Family will be able to attend the competition, even though the visit has been planned for several months.

One of Aftonbladet's sources says it is intended as a surprise, but then security probably comes into play a lot.

The Royal Court's Director of the Information Department, Margareta Thorngren, partially confirms Aftonbladet's information but does not want to go into any details:

"There is planning around the royal presence at Eurovision. We will get back to you later on these plans," she writes in a text message.

Translation done by yours truly of an article from Aftonbladet, published April 17, 2024, at 19:01. The text has also been edited by me for clarity.

Note: If this happens, I want the cameramen to occasionally pan over to the Crown Princess Family only to show Prince Oscar sitting there with the most unimpressed expression ever. Piano on fire? Unimpressed Oscar. Man in a giant hamster wheel? Unimpressed Oscar. Someone riding a confetti canon? Unimpressed Oscar.

MWW Artwork of the Day (6/27/22) Albert Edelfelt (Finnish, 1854–1905) Queen Bianca (1877) Oil on canvas, 96.5 x 75.5 cm. Ateneumin Taidemuseo, Helsinki

"Queen Bianca" stemmed from Albert Edelfelt's longstanding dream of illustrating Finnish history. History painting was long considered the most esteemed artistic genre, and leading figures in the Finnish art world were encouraging up-and-coming artists to take on historical subjects. This work is based on a tale by Zacharias Topelius. The painting depicts a historical person, Queen Bianca, who was the spouse of Swedish King Magnus Eriksson and who arranged a marriage between her son Haakon (here sitting on her lap) and Princess Margareta of Denmark. This resulted in a union between Sweden and Denmark that lasted from 1397 to 1453. While bouncing her son on her knee, Queen Bianca sings to him of these plans. The enduring appeal of the work undoubtedly lies in the maternal love it conveys, a subject that awakened the public's interest amidst all the war and battle-themed paintings on display.
