A Swedish prince waited thirty years to marry a divorced woman, and if the story of Princess Diana and Prince Charles is always regrettable, then this love is the perfect fairy tale.
The heroine of the story is nothing more than the child of a very ordinary family, born in a low-rent house, her father is a miner, and her mother is only a housewife.
When she was a little girl, she helped out at the family stall and worked in a laundromat to earn money.
But the girl also had her own dream of stardom, and in that era of closed news, she moved to London at the age of 16 to pursue her dream of acting.
But these letters are like a stone sinking into the sea, and the days flow like this, day after day. The girl, Lillian, became a maid, but she did not give up on herself because of the last failure, although the income was meager, but she also used her own small salary to buy high-end fashion, and the opportunity came
Lilian, who originally had an amazing beauty, has become the focus of attention under the packaging of high fashion, and Lillian has a star temperament between her hands and feet.
So she quickly found a job as a model, and the ads were mainly for hats and gloves. As soon as Lillian's poster came out, she became the darling of many magazines, including the high-end fashion magazines of the time who were invited to shoot advertisements for her.
It is precisely because of the relationship of the model that she has also become the director's favorite role, although the role she played is inconspicuous, but it is also the first step into her dream.
It was at work that she met Craig, who was also an actress, and the couple fell in love at first sight and married in 1940. But during world war II, when Britain was upright, there was a lot of fire everywhere, and it was at this time that Craig enlisted in the army and became a soldier.
There are thousands of forms of love, but the most painful is a long-distance relationship, the relationship between two people has never stood the test of time, and it was at that time that Craig fell in love with another woman.
However, during the war, in addition to being busy with work, Lillian also became a nurse in a hospital. It wasn't until 1943 that she met her lifelong lover at a birthday party.
Prince Bettyl, the naval attaché at the Swedish Embassy in London, changed her life forever.
Not only that, but the love between the two not only brought about a drastic change in their lives, but also almost changed the history of the entire Swedish royal family. So, what's going on?
Although the two sides were impressed by each other's beauty and handsomeness, this was not enough to determine the relationship between the two.
In an air raid, it was Prince Bettyle who rescued Lillian from the ruins, and between life and death, the two sides thought that the other was the one who depended on each other for their own life and death, so the relationship between the lovers quickly became hot and they had plans to marry.
At that time, it was a ridiculous and bizarre thing for a prince and a divorced woman, and if this woman was still a commoner, it would be a ridiculous and bizarre thing, not to mention that you two still wanted to be married.
The biggest problem was that Sweden was facing a crisis of no successor. Because Prince Bettil's eldest brother, prince Gustav Adolf, the father of the current king of Sweden, was killed in a plane crash, leaving only one son, now Karl XVI.
However, Prince Carl was only one year old, and although he would inherit the throne in the future, due to the advanced age of Gustav VI, it was now necessary to elect a crown prince or regent.
Originally, Prince Bettil had an older brother above him, but the prince also met a commoner woman and desperately wanted to marry him, so gustav VI, who was angry, stripped the prince of his title and the right to inherit the throne.
This led to the generation of Prince Bettil, who was left alone with the right to inherit the throne. It is precisely because of the above that Prince Bettil knows what kind of consequences his relationship will bring to the royal family, and he is smart enough to hide his relationship.
However, the paper still could not contain the fire, and Gustav VI finally knew about the relationship. He did not expect that after his second son married a commoner woman and entered the door, his youngest son would follow in the footsteps of his brother.
However, because there was no successor to the Swedish royal family, he made a deal with his son. That is, Prince Bettyre could become the regent of Sweden, provided that Prince Carl returned power to him when he became an adult, and Prince Bettyle agreed to his father's request.
The couple lived in France until 1957, then moved back to Sweden, where they lived a low-key and mysterious life.
Although their relationship was already public at the time, in order not to resent the public, Lillian always tried to avoid walking with Prince Bettyle.
In the confusion and accusations of everyone, even if they feel very wronged, they can only hide this relationship.
After thirty years of waiting, after Karl ascended the throne, they were allowed to marry. Years of waiting bear the fruit of a beautiful love, but unfortunately these two people do not have children.
After receiving recognition, Lillian also devoted herself to royal duties, although she was in her sixties at the time, and she insisted on working for the royal family for 29 years, even after the death of Prince Bettil, she still did not give up her work, until the age of 91, thinking that she had more than enough and began to retire.
Although they waited for thirty years to wait for the approval of this relationship, the two still accompanied each other and did not abandon each other, which also drew a perfect end to this love.
