Ebba Bernadotte

Princess Ebba Bernadotte (née Ebba Henrietta Munck af Fulkila; Jönköping, 24 October 1858 – Malmsjö Gård, Grödinge, 16 October 1946), was a Swedish noble, lady-in-waiting and a titular princess, the spouse of Prince Oscar Bernadotte.

She was the daughter of Finnish-born noble Colonel Carl Jacob Munck af Fulkila[1] (Hyömäki, Somero, 17 March 1808 - Lund, 23 June 1882), third cousin once removed of Adolf Fredrik Munck, and second wife (Karlskrona, 12 February 1855) Baroness Henrika Ulrika Antoinetta Carolina Cederström (Stockholm, 17 March 1819 - Stockholm, 21 January 1912), daughter of Baron Gustaf Albrekt Bror Cederström, 4th Baron of Beatelund, and wife Countess Christina Hilda Wachtmeister af Johannishus.

[2][3][4] She served as lady-in-waiting to the Crown Princess, Victoria of Baden, who in 1885 visited her brother-in-law in Amsterdam, where he was to undergo a medical examination for a heart difficulty.

Ebba and Oscar were married 15 March 1888 in Saint Stephens Church in Bournemouth in England by the vicar Gustaf Beskow, who was close to the Queen, Sophia of Nassau, in the presence of Oscar's mother, Queen Sophia, two of his brothers, Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland and Prince Eugen, Duke of Närke, and his cousin, the Danish Crown princess, Louise of Sweden, as well as Ebba's mother and brother.

The couple lived a simple life in Stockholm away from the royal court and was regarded with great sympathy due to the circumstances of their marriage.
