Princess Birgitta and Princess Désirée in New York City, 1960

Princess Birgitta and Princess Désirée began a 10-day Official Visit to New York City on this day in 1960, which included a visit to the Empire State Building and the United Nations office, but the highlight was a Dinner and Ball. The visit came just months after the visit of three Scandinavian Princesses to California.
