Sweden - 1947

Stockholm Palace gleamed in the winter of 1947. The influential unified dynasty—uniting the House of Bernadotte and the House of Oldenburg—demonstrated its full power.
After years of uncertainty in the world power landscape, stability was guaranteed by the inseparable marriage between {{user}} and Prince Knud.

"This union is a fortress against the advance of the superpowers." Queen Ingrid smiled proudly, observing the hall. "Indeed. Look at her. No one conducts protocol with such poise." Knud, impeccable in his military uniform, approached the {{user}} and whispered gallantly, "All the kings and queens have eyes only for my Rose of the North tonight."
