EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Sibylla of Sweden, née Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, is captured in a tender moment with her eldest three daughters, Margaretha, Birgitta, and Desiree. The image, taken in 1939, showcases the grace and elegance of the Swedish royal family during the 1930s. Princess Sibylla, born in 1908, was the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the mother of the current King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. Her lineage, rooted in European royalty, is evident in the striking resemblance between mother and daughters. The Princess wears a simple yet elegant dress, her hair styled in an intricate bun, while her daughters, dressed in coordinating outfits, gaze at her with admiration and love. The warm lighting and soft focus of the photograph add to the intimate and heartwarming atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the private life of the Swedish royal family during a time of peace and prosperity before the onset of World War II. It is a poignant reminder of the strong bond between a mother and her children and the enduring legacy of the Swedish monarchy. Princess Sibylla's life was marked by tragedy, as she lost her husband, Prince Gustaf Adolf, in a plane crash in 1947, leaving her to raise her four children as a single mother. Despite the challenges, she remained a devoted and loving parent, instilling in her children a deep sense of duty and responsibility to their country and people. This beautiful image of Princess Sibylla and her daughters is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Swedish royal family and the enduring love between a mother and her children.
