Princess Ingrid Victoria Sofia Louise Margareta of Sweden , (28 March 1910 - 7 November 2000) was the queen consort of King Frederik IX of Denmark. She was the third child of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught. She also was a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Ingrid's mother died in 1920 while carrying her sixth child. Her father married Lady Louise Mountbatten three years later. Louise was a cousin of Ingrid's. Sadly, there were no children of this second marriage, only a stillborn daughter. In 1928, Ingrid met the Prince of Wales and was seen by some as a possible wife for the heir to the British throne, who was her second cousin. Her mother, Margaret of Connaught, and the then Prince of Wales' father, King George V, were first cousins, both being grandchildren of Queen Victoria. However, no engagement took place. Princess Ingrid married Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark and Iceland, on 24 May 1935. They were related in several ways. In descent from Oscar I of Sweden, they were third cousins. In descent from Leopold I, Grand Duke of Baden, they were third cousins. In descent from Paul I of Russia, Frederick was a fourth cousin of Ingrid's mother. She became the Queen of Denmark upon her husband's accession to the throne on 20 April 1947. The couple had three children: Margrethe II of Denmark (born 1940) Princess Benedikte (born 1944) Princess Anne-Marie, (born 1946), former Queen of Greece (1964-1973) After her death in 2000, Queen Ingrid was interred next to her husband outside Roskilde Cathedral near Copenhagen.
