EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Princesses Margareta and Marta of Sweden, daughters of Prince Carl of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Vastergotland, and Princess Ingeborg of Denmark, are seen enjoying a leisurely stroll on the picturesque island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, Sweden. The sisters, who were born in 1899 and 1901 respectively, are dressed in identical outfits, each wearing a white blouse with a lace collar, a red pinafore, and matching bonnets adorned with ribbons and flowers. The sisters' nanny accompanies them on their outing, keeping a watchful eye on the young girls as they explore the beautiful surroundings. Skeppsholmen, one of the many islands in Stockholm's archipelago, was a popular destination for the Swedish royal family, who owned a palace there. The island's scenic beauty, with its lush gardens, tranquil waters, and historic buildings, provided the perfect backdrop for family outings and leisurely walks. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, and offers a glimpse into the lives of these two young princesses, who would go on to become important figures in Swedish royal history. Margareta would later become Queen of Yugoslavia when she married Crown Prince Paul in 1922, while Marta would marry Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden in 1923. The sisters' childhood memories on Skeppsholmen would no doubt remain etched in their minds, a cherished reminder of simpler times and the joy of sisterhood.
