Queen consort of Sweden (1950-1965)
A great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria who nursed in the First World War, married into Swedish royalty at thirty-three, and spent fifteen years as queen — noted less for ceremony than for eccentricity and views ahead of her time.
Born Princess Louise of Battenberg in 1889, she was woven into the fabric of European royalty: Victoria's great-granddaughter, niece to Russia's last empress, older sister to Lord Mountbatten, and aunt to Prince Philip. The First World War sent her to the Red Cross as a nurse. In 1923 she married Sweden's widowed Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, becoming Crown Princess for twenty-seven years. His accession in 1950 made her queen at sixty-one. She held the title until her death in 1965, remembered not for pomp but for a streak of unconventionality and progressive thought that set her apart.
