Funeral for late Princess Lilian of Sweden
« on: March 17, 2013, 02:01:58 PM »
Funeral for the late Princess Lilian of Sweden was held in the Royal Chapel at the Swedish Royal Palace in the old town of Stockholm on Saturday.

The ceremony started at one o'clock in the afternoon inside the royal church where Princess Lilian's coffin was wrapped in the Swedish flag and decorated with flowers, reported the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter (DN).

After the ceremony Princess Lilian's coffin was taken in a procession of about 200 meters long to her final resting place, the royal cemetery in Haga Park, located north to the old town in Stockholm.

The members of the Swedish Royal family attended the funeral and also followed the procession to the Haga Park, which is also the resting place of Princess Lilian's late husband Prince Bertil.

Queen Margarethe of Denmark, Princess Astrid of Norway and the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt also attended the ceremony.

Princess Lilian died at her home in Stockholm last Sunday at the age of 97 and was known by people for her romantic love story with Prince Bertil of Sweden, who died in 1997.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Lillian May Davies was born on 30 August 1915, in Swansea, South Wales, the daughter of William John Davies and his wife Gladys Mary (née Curran). She dropped one 'l' from her first name when she became a fashion model. She was seen in fashion magazines like Vogue. Her parents separated in the 1920s, but they did not divorce formally until 1939.



In 1940 she married Scottish actor Ivan Craig (1912–1998) in Horsham, West Sussex. Shortly after their wedding, Craig joined the British Army and left for Africa, where he served during World War II. In his absence, Lilian worked at a factory that made radios for the Royal Navy and at a hospital for wounded soldiers. (wikipedia)

In 1943 she met the Swedish Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland, in London, reportedly at a cocktail party for her 28th birthday. Soon after their meeting they became lovers, although she was at that time married to her first husband, whom she divorced two years later in 1945. By the time she and Bertil became involved, Lilian and Ivan Craig were separated. When the couple were reunited after the war, Craig expressed his wish to marry another woman; an amicable divorce followed on 7 November 1947.



Bertil's older brother, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten, was second-in-line to the Swedish throne, but in 1947 he died. As Gustaf Adolf's son, Carl Gustaf, was less than one year old, it seemed likely that when the king and the crown prince died Bertil would have to serve as regent (other heirs having given up their places in the succession because of unacceptable marriages). For this reason Bertil chose not to marry Lilian, so the couple simply lived together discreetly for more than 30 years. In 1946 Prince Bertil acquired a house in Sainte-Maxime, France, that became their private retreat. (wikipedia)

Prince Bertil

Bertil never had to become regent since his father, the king (who ascended the throne in 1950), lived long enough to see his grandson, Carl Gustaf, come of age. Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden ascended the throne in 1973, and, having married a commoner himself, he approved Bertil's and Lilian's marriage. They were married on 7 December 1976 at the church of Drottningholm Palace in the presence of the king and the queen. (wikipedia)

From 1976 until 2005 Princess Lilian attended the annual Nobel Prize-giving ceremony, adorned in royal jewels and the Royal Order of the Seraphim, Sweden’s highest order of chivalry. At the age of 91 she discontinued this tradition, deciding that she was too old. (wikipedia)
