Prince Carl & Princess Ingeborg's family

[miki_nastya]

 How sad.. ..it wasn't on the documentary about Christian IX and his family? I think is called A Royal Family or something like that.

Yes it was  shown in the documentary 'A Royal Family' by Marcus Mandal & Anna Lerche about Christian IX and Louise's descentants. Ingeborg's grandaughter the late Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte of Luxembourg nee Princess of Belgium told about it. I'm not completely sure, but I think the story was something like the following. Just before her mother Astrid died in the horrible car crash, Josephine saw that her mother had a grew lock of hair and she told her mother she would die soon (not knowing it would come true). Astrid wrought about this in her last letter towards her mother Ingeborg and she was offcourse already in shock after receiving the horrible news about the death of her beloved daughter and even more after reading the letter.

How did she react at herring Astrid's dead? Is there any picture of her at the funeral?

Didn't find one of her at Astrid's but I have one of her at Martha's.    The second daughter she had to bury. She's entering the church on the arm of her brother King Haakon.



Sorry for the quality but until my harddrive is fixed, I am not scanning any images just photographing with my iphone camera & uploading.

Thank you gdella for that impressive photograph of princess Ingeborg at Martha's funeral. She looks devastated! I send here two photographs taken at Astrid's funeral. The first one shows Crownprincess Louise of Sweden nee Louise Mountbatten arriving by plain for the funeral of Queen Astrid. The second one shows the devastated parents Carl and Ingeborg and other close relatives like: Astrid's brother Carl, sister Martha and her brother-inlaw Olav. I cannot imagine the pain that must be felt when losing your child.

Did Ingeborg blame her son-in-law for the dead of her daughter? Because he was the one who drove the car...

i didnt know where to put this. Prince Carl with brother Eugen and Oscar

[PrinceEddy1864]

Oh what a stunning image. Eugen is one of my faves..looking so handsome here.

It may have been best suited for their parents thread Oskar II and Sophie.

Also, I must give you credit for taking all this time scouring the internet finding these images Katenka. Thanks.

Karl was an extremely handsome fellow.

Prince Carl

[Pezzazz]

Karl was an extremely handsome fellow.

Yes, he was mighty handsome.   He looks so familiar to someone living now and I can't quite place him?  Ah ha, I just remembered.  I'll see if I can find some photos.   They might even be related the resemblance is so remarkable. 

It seems sad though, two of their daughters died young, and Carl Jr. (Prince Bernadotte) was part of the Huseby scandal.

With her 2 daughters and Carl is on her lap

Did Ingeborg blame her son-in-law for the dead of her daughter? Because he was the one who drove the car...

I'm also curious about this, too. Perhaps she didn't blame him and just thought that everything was an accident.
