I have written a dream love story of the three sisters of the Danish royal family before, which has sweetened many readers, and today we will understand where the beauty and happiness of the three sisters who are so beautiful and happy come from and where they are lucky.
Princess Sanmei's maternal grandmother, Princess Margaret, was born in 1882 and was the eldest daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strassen (third son of Queen Victoria) and Princess Louis Margaret of Prussia.
Since her father was very popular with Queen Victoria, the family lived in England.
Margaret grew up under the love of her grandmother and left many photos of her grandmother in love with her ↓
Slowly, she grew into a gentle and delicate beautiful princess, and her sister Patricia became the most sought-after royal sister flower in Europe at that time.
In 1905, the Margaret sisters traveled with their parents to Portugal, Egypt and Sudan, which amazed many people, and the Portuguese people expected Princess Connor to become the future Queen of Portugal.
Passing through Cairo, Margaret met her true son, Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden.
Gustav Adolf is the future heir to the Swedish throne, tall, handsome and talented, with a passion for music, shooting, dance, archaeology and ceramic appreciation, especially Chinese cuisine and Chinese ceramic art, and is also a well-known collector of Chinese porcelain.
On this trip to Egypt, Gustav Adolf not only saw the splendid culture of prehistory, but also won a wife.
The prince and princess were in agreement, and at a dinner at the British consulate in Egypt, Margaret accepted Gustav Adolf's marriage proposal.
In June of that year, Gustav Adolf couldn't wait to marry Margaret into the door, and they married in St. George's Church at Windsor Castle.
Two years later, Margaret's father-in-law succeeded to the throne as King of Sweden (Gustav V), and the prince and his wife became crown princes and crown princesses.
Margaret was a perfect crown princess.
She strives to learn swedish language, history and social welfare, and often "micro-service private visits" to appreciate the beautiful scenery and customs of Sweden.

Under the influence of Margaret, Gustav Adolf, who had been suppressed for many years by his mother's "Prussian" militarized education, was released.
The couple loved and harmonized, and gave birth to four sons and a daughter.
Margaret insisted on raising the children herself, giving them all their love and tenderness, and the children were very attached to her.
After the outbreak of the First World War, the Crown Princess bravely took on her responsibilities and threw herself into the Red Cross and post-war work, collecting supplies for the army, helping the victims and prisoners of war, and providing communication channels for relatives separated by the war...
After the war, European monarchies underwent a major reshuffle.
Margaret actively supported her husband's democratization reforms in Sweden, allowing Sweden to successfully overcome the monarchy crisis.
Beautiful, noble, kind, talented, thoughtful, Margaret is perfect, but it is a pity that God is jealous.
On May 1, 1920, Margaret was pregnant with her sixth child, eight months old, but died of sepsis at the age of 38, which was also her father's 70th birthday.
Margaret's sudden death dealt a huge blow to her husband, children and the Swedish people, "and the sun fell over the Stockholm Palace." ”
Ingrid was Margaret's only daughter, who was only 10 years old when her mother died.
For a long time, Ingrid could not come out of the grief of losing her mother, and her mother became the most important person in her life, not one of them.
Later, in honor of her mother, she also copied several "mother-daughter bracelets" with her mother and passed them on to all female descendants.
Three years after his mother's death, his father remarried to Miss Louise Mountbatten (the sister-in-law of Prince Philip) of the Batenburg family.
Ingrid, who was in the rebellious period of adolescence, could not accept her stepmother and filled Louise's room with pictures of her deceased mother.
Xu is that her mother had given her enough love and teaching about responsibility when she was a child, and Xu was the reason why she later became closer to her British grandfather, and Ingrid slowly accepted rebellion and grew into a responsible and assertive big girl.
Ingrid inherited her mother's talent and beauty, and she also loved sports, such as horseback riding, skiing and tennis, and took her driver's license.
As the eldest princess, she was proud and proud, cos queen Josephine, and also had a heart to be a queen.
In 1928, Ingrid went on a blind date in London with her cousin Edward (later Edward VIII).
As we all know, Edward's aesthetic is strange and fond of his wife, so he can't do it.
Later, she met Edward's brother George, Duke of Kent, but Ingrid felt that the other party was not the crown prince and could not realize her "queen dream", so she rejected George's marriage proposal.
Edward and George
Finally, in 1935, at the age of 25, Ingrid married the prince she had destined to marry, crown prince Frederick of Denmark, 36.

But in fact, when he was young, he was also tall and handsome.↓
He loved to travel and sail, traveled the world, visited Shanghai and Nanjing in China, and later became known as the "King of Sailors"↓
He is also a young man of literature and art, who can play the piano and conduct the orchestra, and has conducted the Copenhagen Symphony Orchestra with distinction
He was unmarried at the age of 36 because he had been engaged to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark in his early years, and as a result, the woman later dumped him because she disliked his sailor habits.
Although Frederick and Ingrid were married on a blind date, the couple was very compatible and openly kissed Xiu En'en ↓
Gave birth to three lovely daughters, the family loved each other, leaving many wonderful parent-child photos ↓
With her mother's excellent proofing as a child, Ingrid became a crown princess, quickly learned Danish, and actively engaged in charity.
During World War II, Ingrid personally went down to the people, pedaled bicycles through the streets and alleys, united the hearts of the people, and became the spiritual leader in the hearts of the Danish people.
In 1947, the old King Christian X died.
Frederick succeeded to the throne as Frederick IX, and Ingrid became Queen of Denmark.
In line with the changes of the times, the king and his wife pulled the image of the royal family from the top of the altar and transformed it into a symbol of the national family.
With no children under his knees, the king changed the law of succession to allow women to succeed to the throne, so that the eldest daughter Margaret became the heir to the throne.
Under the good family atmosphere and the careful teaching of Ingrid, the daughters grew up with a fairy and talented ↓
The only fly in the ointment is that they have all become big smokers with their parents ↓
Ingrid sent her daughters to marry one by one, to see them marry as they wished, to love and be happy for a lifetime, and to be full of joy.
Subsequently, the children and grandchildren were full of halls ↓
When you are old, you can also show love ↓
Unfortunately, old husbands and young wives always have to live and die.
In January 1972, Frederick IX developed symptoms of suspected influenza, and then his condition deteriorated, and he died surrounded by relatives and friends on the afternoon of the 14th.
Ingrid sent away the old man who had accompanied him for decades, and was devastated at the funeral
Watching the eldest daughter Margaret ascend to the throne, becoming the second female monarch in Danish history, ushering in a new era of equality between men and women.
When her husband died, Ingrid was only in her early sixties, and with the blessing of the Swedish longevity gene, she still had a lot of days to live in the future, fortunately, the offspring were all filial + able to give birth, bringing her a room of children and grandchildren ↓
In 1997, Ingrid broke his hip and has since been confined to a wheelchair.
That year, the 25th anniversary of Margaret's ascension to the throne, Ingrid realized that things were uncertain, but she had no regrets, and she said to Margaret: "Your two sons will do their best to benefit Denmark, and I can already close my eyes with peace of mind." ”

In 2000, Ingrid celebrated her ninetieth birthday and two great-grandchildren.
On November 7, Ingrid passed away surrounded by her children.
Except for the loss of her mother at a young age, her life was extremely complete, and this perfection came from her mother's love and teaching, and also from her own lifelong careful cultivation.
