GLIMPSE OF QUEEN OF THE FUTURE
LOVELY BRIDE OF PRINCE FREDERICK OF DENMARK
BY CONSTANCE DREXEL
Her Highness, Princess Ingrid, who recently married Frederick, Crown Prince of Denmark, is more a queen than the fairy story type of princess.
1 got an interesting close-up of the young woman when assigned to interview marriageable princesses. I naturally put Ingrid on my list, but when I got to Stock- holm, the Princess' father, Crown Prince Gustav Adolf, said she was too young to be interviewed, and besides, he did not like publicity. However, I was invited to attend the marriage of Princess Ingrid's cousin, Princess Astrid (now Queen of the Belgians), to the Crown Prince' Leopold,
On that occasion, the star, next to the tall, radiantly) happy bride, was the Princess Ingrid. She was Sweden's premier unmarried princess, theres fore important, since Senudinuvini princesses are much sought after for "royal marriages in Europa. There have been few of them in. this generation because the royal families of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have produced chiefly
sons...
The fact that the daughter of Swerlen's next king had as her partner in all the wedding festivi- ties the tall, handsome, blonde Crown Prince Olaf of Norway. gave rise to minny signißeant giances. ISUL fate decreed that nothing was to come of that, for not many months later.. the an nouncement of Olaf's engagement to Princess Maerta, sister of. Princess Astrid, was made.
DRESSES METICULOUSLY
In appearance, Princess Ingrid is not what is thought of as the Scandinavian type at all. Perhaps this is because along about 1810, the reigning dynasty having run low, one of Napoleon's generals, Marshal Bernadotte, Prince of Ponto Corvo, was elected to the throne by act of the Swedish Par- Hament. She is above medium height, her hair is brown and her skin is olive. She has large hazel oyca and a rounded figure.
She takes great care always to present an exquisite picture, chic and well-groomed. I have seen her, looking on at tennis matches at Wimbledon, at the theatre and at cinemas. She is always per factly dressed, perfectly coiffed and rather dignifled, even distant.
