The application is for a printing grant for a popular biography of Princess Ingeborg (1878-1958) and her family. She was born a princess of Denmark and married Swedish Prince Carl, brother of Gustaf V. She was very well known during her lifetime but is today completely forgotten. However, many people know about her daughters, Queen Astrid of Belgium and Crown Princess Märtha of Norway, about whom a number of books have been written. However, no one has written about Princess Ingeborg before. The book spans several eras and countries, as Princess Ingeborg's brothers and cousins were monarchs in Norway, Denmark, England, Russia and Greece. Many letters and diary entries have never been published before, such as extracts from Tsar Nicholas II's diary during his famous state visit to Stockholm in 1909. Princess Ingeborg was closely associated with the dissolution of the Union, and her husband was long intended to be the new King of Norway, but it was her brother, Prince Carl of Denmark, who became King of Norway instead. During the First World War, most of Ingeborg's Russian relatives were murdered, and during the Second World War her children and grandchildren in Denmark, Norway and Belgium were forced to flee in dramatic circumstances or remain under German occupation. Princess Ingeborg herself was an active anti-Nazi and worked for the British resistance movement SOE. The book is based on extensive source research in various royal archives in Europe and on interviews with Princess Ingeborg's grandchildren.
