EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures Princess Sibylla of Sweden, nee Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, with her three eldest daughters: Margaretha, Birgitta, and Desiree. The image, taken in 1939, showcases the familial bond between the princess and her children, as they gather together in a warm and loving embrace. Princess Sibylla, born in 1917, was the daughter of Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In 1932, she married her second cousin, Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, who was the second-in-line to the Swedish throne. Their union produced four children: Margaretha, Birgitta, Desiree, and their youngest son, who would later become the present King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. The daughters, Margaretha (born in 1934), Birgitta (born in 1937), and Desiree (born in 1943), are all pictured here in their youthful innocence, their bright eyes reflecting the joy and happiness that filled their family. The photograph is a testament to the deep love and connection that existed between Princess Sibylla and her children, as well as the close-knit bond between the Swedish royal family. The image is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Swedish royals during a time of peace and prosperity before the turmoil of World War II. It serves as a reminder of the enduring strength and resilience of familial bonds, even in the face of adversity.
