I don't care what anybody says, but I think these girls are very uniquely beautiful like their mother Queen Lovisa. ✨

The three unmarried daughter of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark have been with us so recently some few notes on their private life may be interesting to readers. Princess Ingeborg who is eighteen, will now take her eldest sister’s place, and probably she will be much thrown into the society of her new sister-in-law, Princess Carl of Denmark. In appearance she is like her mother, the Crown Princess, having strongly marked features; Princess Thyra, who is more delicate, is sixteen, and little Princess Dagmar is ten. They live very simply, these young Danish royalties. During the winter, which they spend in Copenhagen, they sleigh and skate a great deal, and in the summer, at Fredensborg, their grandfather, the King of Denmark’s castle, they enjoy some very happy weeks with their English cousins, and those from Greece and Russia. They have tennis and boating parties, bicycling on the laws of the Schloss, picnics in the lovely woods, and fishing on the Esrom Lake. Their brothers are very fond of them, and they teach them all kinds of outdoor sports. Like all Danish ladies, these young Princesses excel in house work. They are capital dairy-maids, good cooks, and in fact they can, to use a homely phrase, turn their hands to anything.

Ingeborg Håkonsdatter

Ingebjørg Håkonsdatter (1301–1361) was a Norwegian princess and the only legitimate child of Håkon V Magnusson (r. 1299–1319) [...]. Ingebjørg was brought up at the Norwegian royal court until she married Erik Magnusson of Sweden, Duke of Södermanland, in 1312. This marriage was undoubtedly part of a broader political alliance as Håkon V supported Erik and his brother Valdemar in their struggle against their brother, King Birger Magnusson (r. 1290–1318). The early years of the marriage were relatively uneventful, and Ingebjørg gave birth to a son, Magnus Eriksson, in 1316.

In 1317, however, hostilities between Birger and the dukes broke out once more when Erik and Valdemar were imprisoned at Nyköping Castle at the king’s behest. Ingebjørg immediately sprang into action, mobilizing her husband’s allies and even negotiating with Danish aristocrats for military support against Birger and his ally, Erik VI Menved of Denmark. Dukes Erik and Valdemar were murdered in 1318, but Ingebjørg continued to act in her late husband’s name as duchess dowager. Danish and Swedish aristocrats launched several expeditions against the Swedish Crown, conquering most royal castles and forcing Birger into exile. After the death of Håkon V in 1319, Ingebjørg’s son Magnus acceded to the Norwegian throne, and he was also elected king of Sweden later the same year.

After she oversaw Birger’s deposition and secured her son’s election, Ingebjørg became one of the most powerful political figures in Sweden, and her power and influence in Norway remained considerable. She acted as the de facto leader of the Swedish royal council and controlled an expansive network of castles centered around her stronghold of Varberg. Ingebjørg also took many decisions as a territorial princess, perhaps best exemplified by her abortive expedition to Skåne in 1322, launched in conjunction with her favorite and future husband, the Danish aristocrat Knud Porse. Her uncompromising attitude and reliance on foreign favorites, however, led to growing opposition from the Swedish aristocracy, and her holdings were confiscated and her decision-making powers removed by the royal council in 1326. Following her fall from grace, Ingebjørg lived in close proximity to her son Magnus until she passed away in 1361.

~ "A diamond and sapphire tiara, 1890s, with a Royal provenance, each foliate element centred by a cabochon sapphire, flanked by a floral motif, set with old cut diamonds, gold and silver mounts. The cabochon sapphires can be swapped out for turquoise cabochons. The tiara belonged to Princess Thyra, daughter of King Frederik VIII and Queen Lovisa of Denmark. -Her siblings were King Christian X of Denmark, King Haakon VII of Norway, and Princess Ingeborg of Sweden, among others- Princess Thyra never married and left the tiara to her niece, Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark, who chose to marry her first cousin, Prince Knud, the younger brother of King Frederik IX Their only child was Princess Elisabeth, receiving the tiara from her mother in the 1960s. She was a first cousin of Queen Margarethe II and wore it quite often at state functions and in 2004 at the wedding of crown prince Frederik and Mary." ~
