Ingrid of Sweden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess Ingrid Victoria Sofia Louise Margareta of Sweden (March 28, 1910-November 7, 2000) was the queen consort of King Frederik IX of Denmark.
She was the third child of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught. She also was a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
In 1928 she met the Prince of Wales and was seen by some as a possible wife for the heir to the British throne, who was her first cousin, once removed [1]. However, no engagement ensued.[2]
Princess Ingrid married Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark and Iceland, on May 24, 1935. She became Queen Ingrid of Denmark upon her husband's accession to the throne on April 20, 1947. The couple had three children:
- Margrethe II of Denmark (born 1940)
- Princess Benedikte (born 1944)
- Princess Anne-Marie, (born 1946)
After her death in 2000, Queen Ingrid was interred next to her husband outside Roskilde Cathedral near Copenhagen.
