Desideria: The Enchanting Queen of Sweden and Norway Desiree Clary (1777-1860), born in Marseille, France, rose from humble beginnings to become the beloved Queen of Sweden and Norway. Her captivating beauty and grace were immortalized in numerous portraits, including Eugenie Bernardine-Desiree Clary - Mme. Bernadotte (1811) and Portrait (1830). As the wife of Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, who later became King Carl XIV Johan of Sweden and Norway, Desideria's influence extended beyond her native France. She was a devoted mother and queen, raising five future monarchs: Oscar I, Charles XV, Oscar II, Charles XIV John, and Prince Gustaf. Desideria's legacy continued as her granddaughter, Maria Christina of Austria (1858-1929), became Queen consort of Spain. The striking resemblance between the two queens is evident in their portraits, such as those by Fredric Westin. Desideria's story is a testament to the power of love and determination, as she navigated the complexities of European politics and left an indelible mark on Swedish and Norwegian history.
