I wonder how well the two sisters-in-law got along. Ingrid and Caroline-Mathilde were very, very different.

I don't think that there was much of a relationship to be honest; the two ladies were simply too different, and the
jovial manners of prince Knud was not Queen Ingrid's cup of tea! Besides, the change of the succession law in
1953 didn't exactly make matters any easier! Prince Knud and Princess Caroline-Mathilde were usually invited along to the royal events
and everybody kept up appearances! It wasn't till after the death of King Frederik and Hereditary Prince Knud that we (the Danes)
got a bit of insight as to their strained relationship. And to this day, we still don't know the whole story.
