The future Queen Ingrid of Denmark was among the Guests at the Wedding of the Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Margareta Fouché d’Otrante at Elghammar Castle in Sweden on this day in 1934, 90 years ago, which was 34 years before the marriage between their children.
Gustav Albrecht, the 5th Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, son of the 4th Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Princess Madeleine zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg, married Margareta Fouché d’Otrante, daughter of the 6th Duke of Otranto and Countess Hedvig Douglas, at Elghammar Castle, the seat of the Dukes of Otranto, in Sweden. The couple had five children, including Prince Richard and Princess Tatiana, before the Prince went missing in action in 1944, not being legally declared dead until 1969. The Princess passed away in 2005.
Among the Royal and Noble Guests were Princess Ingrid of Sweden (wearing the Khedive of Egypt Tiara), whose daughter, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, married the couple’s son, Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, in 1968.
