Charlotta Skjöldebrand

Charlotta Letitia Skjöldebrand née Ennes (29 June 1791 – 17 April 1866), was a Swedish court official.

Charlotta Skjöldebrand was the daughter of businessman Pehr Ennes (1753–1829) and Elisabet Margareta Brändström (1766–1822).

[1][2][3] In 1836, she was appointed to succeed Elisabet Charlotta Piper (1787–1860), as senior lady-in-waiting to Crown Princess Josefina (1807–1876).

[4] Upon the succession of King Oscar I of Sweden in 1844, a number of reforms were introduced to subdue "the most spectacular pomp" and provocative grandeur of court life, and several courtly ceremonies, customs and rituals were abolished.

[6] She was in service during the Union of Sweden-Norway, but only served in Sweden: during their visits in Norway, the royal family left their Swedish entourage at the border and was welcomed by their Norwegian court staff, and Charlotta Skjöldebrand thus turned over her duties to her Norwegian equivalent Fanny Løvenskiold at such occasions.
