EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Queen Maud of Norway is seen with her two granddaughters, Ragnhild and Astrid, in 1937. The image showcases a tender moment between the three royal women, as they pose for the camera with warm smiles and affectionate glances. Queen Maud, born Princess Maud of Wales, was the wife of King Haakon VII of Norway. She was the only child of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, making her a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Maud's only child, Crown Prince Olav, was born in 1903. In 1929, Olav married Princess Martha of Sweden, making Martha and Maud related by marriage. Ragnhild, the elder of the two granddaughters, is seen on the left side of the photograph, with a gentle expression on her face. Despite being the elder, Ragnhild was always the smaller of the two daughters of Crown Prince Olav and Princess Martha. Astrid, the younger granddaughter, is on the right, with a playful and curious look in her eyes. The photograph was taken during a time when Europe was undergoing significant political changes. Maud's husband, King Haakon VII, had returned to Norway in 1940 after the country had been invaded by Nazi Germany. The royal family went into exile in the United Kingdom, where they lived until the end of the war. The image of Queen Maud with her granddaughters serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of the Norwegian monarchy during a tumultuous period in European history. This photograph is a precious historical document that offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women. It is a poignant reminder of the familial bonds that transcend political boundaries and endure through generations. The image is a testament to the rich history of the Norwegian and Swedish monarchies and the strong connections that link them.
