(last photo) Top row from left: Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway, Crown Prince Gustav and Crown Princess Louise of Sweden, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark....these I recognize, but I am trying to figure out who this next royal couple is...the ones standing on the left side of Princess Ingrid. Anyway, Olav, Louise, and Ingrid were directly descended from Britain's Queen Victoria (all of them were her great-grandchildren). Martha, Frederik, and Gustav were descended directly from much earlier British monarchs. It was nice to see them being present at a coronation of their distant relative, King George VI. --Previous Message-- : --Previous Message-- : I recognize the photos from your no. 9 post, : Nellie.
