Summary:
In this intimate portrait of Princess Sibylla of Sweden, renowned royal historian Roger Lundgren reveals the remarkable life of one of Europe's most misunderstood royal figures. Born a German princess in 1908, Sibylla married into the Swedish royal family and faced the challenge of raising five children-including the current King Carl XVI Gustaf-alone after her husband's tragic death in 1947. Drawing on exclusive interviews and previously unpublished correspondence, Lundgren reveals how this strong-willed princess navigated the complexities of being a German royal in post-war Sweden while preparing her young son for his future role as king. A poignant story of duty, resilience and motherhood in the face of personal tragedy and public scrutiny.
