EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Crown Prince Olav of Norway (1903-1991), later King Olav V, is seen with his radiant wife, the former Crown Princess Martha of Sweden (1901-1954), in the year 1930. The image captures the essence of their regal charm and the deep connection between the Scandinavian royals. Born on February 2, 1903, in Kristiania, Norway, Olav was the eldest son of King Haakon VII and Queen Maud. His Swedish bride, Martha, was born on August 19, 1901, in Stockholm, Sweden, as the eldest child of King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria of Sweden. Their union was a significant event in the history of the Scandinavian monarchies, as it marked the first time a Swedish princess had married a Norwegian king. The couple's wedding took place on August 25, 1929, in Stockholm, and their union was celebrated throughout Scandinavia. In this photograph, taken just a year after their marriage, the young couple exudes an air of confidence and happiness. Olav's regal attire, complete with the Norwegian Order of the Seraphim, complements Martha's elegant bridal gown and the stunning diamond tiara on her head. The image is a testament to the strong bond between the two monarchs and their shared commitment to their respective countries. Their marriage not only strengthened the ties between Norway and Sweden but also played a crucial role in promoting peace and cooperation in the region during a time of political instability in Europe. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural connections that exist between the Scandinavian countries and their royal families. The image's timeless beauty and historical significance make it a must-have for any collection of royal portraits or Scandinavian history.
