## Bio

Born in 1869 as the youngest daughter of the future Edward VII, Maud grew up in a warm, informal household — spirited, outdoor-loving, less constrained than her older siblings. In 1896 she married her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark, a union that seemed unremarkable until November 1905, when Norway dissolved its union with Sweden and elected Carl as King Haakon VII. Maud stepped into a role no woman had held since the Middle Ages: queen consort of an independent Norway. She kept one foot in Britain, the other in her adopted country, supporting Norwegian charities focused on children, women, and the arts, and learning to ski. Reserved in public, she anchored the new monarchy with dignity and quiet influence, bridging two royal worlds. She died in London in 1938, six days before her sixty-ninth birthday.
