Queen Lovisa of Sweden as a princess, copy of original by Nicaise de Keyser (oil on canvas, original 1850)
The future Queen Lovisa is depicted on a terrace with roses and ivy. She wears a white dress with delicate lace.
The portrait is regarded as being highly flattering, and as a future queen she had all the qualities the royal court was looking for. She was a Protestant and politically suitable, and came from a wealthy family.
The painting was produced by an unknown copyist, based on an original by the Belgian painter Nicaise de Keyser.
The portrait can be seen in the Bernadotte Gallery at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

King Christian X (Christian Carl Frederik Albert Alexander Vilhelm; 1870 – 1947); King of Denmark from 1912 to his death in 1947
I want to place this remarkable individual within the context of the many royal families we discuss in this blog. He had quite an eventful and successful reign, including transitioning his country into a constitutional monarchy, but this post is just about (some) of his relatives.
He was a grandson of Christian IX and the son of the future Frederick VIII. His brother was the future Hakoon VII of Norway. His paternal aunts were Dagmar (Empress Maria Feodorovna) and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom. King George V, Queen Maud, and Tsar Nicholas II were his first cousins. Christian X's mother was Lovisa of Sweden.
He was raised strictly in a palace part of the Amelienborg Palace complex. He received a military education and studied at the Officers Academy.
Christian initially loved Princess Marguerite of Orleans, but his feelings were not returned, so he married Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg Schwerin. Alexandrine's maternal line was Romanov...her mother, Anastasia, was the daughter of Nicholas I's younger son, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaievich. They had two sons: Prince Frederick (1899–1972), later King Frederick IX of Denmark and Prince Knud (1900–1976)
In case you are wondering, he was 6 feet 7 inches tall.
What a dynasty Christian IX and Queen Louise gave to the world!

Aug. 5, 1828 - Princess Wilhelmina Frederika Alexandrine Anna Louise (sometimes written as Luise) was born in the Hague as the daughter of Prince Frederik of the Netherlands and Princess Luise of Prussia. Her education was to a large extent entrusted to her Belgian governess and she studied French, German, English, Russian and piano. The latter is something she also continued as an adult.
King Oscar I of Sweden wished to secure connections between the new Bernadotte dynasty and the old dynasties of Europe and a Protestant Princess was also seen as necessary after two Catholic Queens in a row in Protestant Sweden-Norway. Louise fulfilled these credentials, plus a great dowry was expected from the rich House of Orange-Nassau. Therefore, in 1849, Louise was chosen as a suitable bride for the heir to the Swedish throne, Crown Prince Karl.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs began negotiations and a Cabinet Secretary was sent to inspect her. In his report back he let it be known that Louise “had an excellent education and a good character but was not attractive” (quote simplified for clarity). A meeting was arranged between Louise and Karl where reportedly, Louise fell in love and felt an immediate attraction while Karl was disappointed in her appearance. The Crown Prince, however, was convinced to agree to the marriage by his father and the engagement was announced the following year.
During the engagement, Louise studied the Swedish language and history, though she never learnt Norwegian. Upon moving to her new country, her official name was changed to Lovisa.
Lovisa was not considered a social success, her timid and shy nature and tendency to suffer so-called nervous attacks were not appreciated by those of high society, though she had the sympathy and love of the wider Swedish public due to her husband's many and not-so-secret affairs. It was reported in the court chronicle that: “Lovisa could at any time faint and in connection to this, she could have what is called nerve- or cramp-attacks.” While today we may interpret this as epileptic episodes, back then it was interpreted as a hysterical reaction to her husband’s neglect.
Photo 1: Painting of Queen Lovisa from The Royal Court of Norway. Photo 2: Photograph of Queen Lovisa circa 1860 (photographer unknown, 8.3 x 4.8 cm), from the collection of Prince Albert, the Prince Consort. Photo 3: Photograph of King Karl XV, Queen Lovisa and their daughter Princess Lovisa (photographer and year unknown). Photo 4: Portrait of Queen Lovisa by Court Photographer Johannes Jaeger, 1869. Believed to be the oldest Jaeger photograph in the Royal Court's collections, from the Bernadotte Library's archive.

Hello😁 can you share your favorite queens?
Thank you for the great ask anon, of course! ����
#1: Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom – (nèe Princess Alexandra of Denmark, "Alix".
— She was beautiful, a warm and caring mother/grandmother, was popular as Princess of Wales and Queen Consort among of her people because of her good nature, and she supported many charities, including her own: "Alexandra Rose Day", founded by Queen Alexandra in 1912, this was a charity where flowers were being sold and all the money went to supporting Londoners in poverty. This was inspired by a priest in her native Denmark selling roses to raise money for those in need, Queen Alexandra brought the idea back to the United Kingdom. ❤✨
#2: Queen Anne Boleyn of England – (nèe Lady Anne Boleyn)
— She was intelligent, funny, caring and kind to all of people, and as her two years as Queen Consort she supported many charities, and even "gave alms to the poor, provided for widows, and even sewed shirts and smocks for the needy". She also helped with promoting new educational identities for monasteries, which were no longer under the protection of the Catholic Church. After only two years of being Queen Consort when she was said to have been 35 years old, she was executed after being imprisoned in the Tower of London for 17 days because she was accused of committing treason, but the true reason she was executed was because she failed to give King Henry VIII a male heir. ☹️💔
#3: Queen Marie Sophie of the Two Sicilies – (nèe Duchess Marie Sophie in Bavaria)
— She was beautiful, bright, and fierce. She was given the nickname the "Warrior Queen", the "Heroine of Gaeta" and the "modern Joan of Arc", rallying the troops, nursing the injured, feeding her forces at her own table and taunting Garibaldi's army from the battlements with the words; "Go ahead and shoot me. I will be where my men are". It was said of her that the Queen would "wipe your brow if you were wounded or hold you in her arms while you die". ❤️🔥👑
#4: Queen Marie Antoinette of France – (nèe Archduchess Marie Antoinette of Austria)
— She was honest, lovable, bold, a social butterfly who loved gambling, partying and extravagant fashions. Growing up she was closest with her sister, Maria Carolina, who was three years older, and with whom she had a lifelong close relationship. As Queen, Marie Antoinette was always unpopular, she spent lavishly, but her extravagance was only a minor cause of France's growing debt in the 1770-80s. Because of Louis XVI's indecisiveness, Marie played an increasingly prominent political role. But was very beloved for her charitable activities and patronage of the arts. She supported various charitable organizations and institutions, and she was also a benefactress of the poor. 💞🎀
#5: Queen Lovisa of Denmark – (nèe Lovisa of Sweden)
— She was described as intelligent, with an ability to be natural, easy and friendly. And As Queen, she was mainly known for her many charity projects, an interest that she shared with her spouse. She did not care for ceremonial duties and public events, and lived a discreet life dedicated to her children and her interests in art, literature and charity. After a short tenure of only six years as Queen, she was widowed in 1912.
#6: Queen Alexandrine of Denmark – (nèe Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin)
— She was reticent by nature. Her childhood was characterised by regular sporting activities, and from a young age she played the piano to a high standard. Her great interest in music stayed with her for her entire life and was passed on to her equally musical eldest son, Prince Frederik (IX). As of her first years as Queen, she had difficulty getting used to public attention, and she preferred to avoid the media limelight, but performed her functions in an exemplary manner. In the home her presence was crucial for the two boys, since Christian X was known for surrounding himself with a certain atmosphere of the barracks. Queen Alexandrine undertook extensive charity work until her death and was an avid golf player and photographer, who also loved doing needlework to a high standard. 💫
#7: Queen Margherita of Italy – (nèe Margherita of Savoy)
— She was described as sensitive, proud and with a strong force of will without being hard, as well as having the ability to be charming when she chose to. As to her appearance, she was described as a tall, stately blonde, but she was not regarded as a beauty. As Queen, she worked to protect the monarchy against republicans and socialists, and she gathered a circle of conservative intellectuals and artists known as the "Circolo della Regina" (Circle of the Queen) in her famous literary salon known as "Giovedì Della Regina" (Queen's Thursdays), where she benefited artists and writers.
#8: Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain – (nèe Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg), "Ena".
— She was described as very kind but very strict and she devoted herself to work for hospitals and services for the poor, as well as to education. She also involved herself in the reorganization of the Spanish Red Cross. In 1929, the city of Barcelona erected a statue of her in a nurse's uniform in honour of her Red Cross work and since the the statue has been destroyed.
#9: Queen Elena of Italy – (nèe Elena of Montenegro)
— She was described as shy and reserved but also rather stubborn. Very attached to traditions, with a sensitive soul and a lively and curious mind, she was endowed with a strong love for nature: her favourite flower was the Cyclamen. She was a very tall woman of 180 cm (5'11). As Queen, her commitment to numerous charitable and welfare initiatives, which assured her great sympathy and popularity, was profuse. The Queen went well beyond mere charity: her evangelical spirit led her to practice every day the most genuine and most charitable love of neighbor.
#10: Queen Marie of Romania – (nèe Princess Marie of Edinburgh), "Missy".
— She was described as very beautiful and high spirited. As a young girl, Marie was very close with her sisters, but mostly her sister Victoria Melita, they played many games with their father and Marie's mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh neglected Marie and her sisters' education, considering them not very bright or gifted. But in the fields of painting and drawing, Marie and her sisters had inherited her grandmother, Queen Victoria's talent. On October 11th, 1914, Marie and her husband Ferdinand were acclaimed as king and Queen in the Chamber of Deputies. Princess Anne Marie Callimachi, a close friend of Marie, wrote that "as Crown Princess, she had been popular; as Queen, she was more loved". Marie maintained a certain influence on her husband and the entire court, leading historian A. L. Easterman to write that "it was not Ferdinand, but Marie who ruled in Romania".
