Fanny Løvenskiold

Francisca "Fanny" Veronika Johanne Josephine Løvenskiold (7 February 1807 – 19 March 1873) was a Norwegian court official.

During the reign of Oscar I, the royal household was reduced in both Sweden and Norway.

Many offices were purposely left vacant, and no married ladies-in-waiting (statsfru) were appointed in Sweden or Norway: in 1849 Fanny Løvenskiold's Swedish equivalent Charlotta Skjöldebrand had two maids of honour under her while Fanny Løvenskiold had two, Inga Hedewig Vogt och Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg,[3] the last of whom were to eventually succeed her.

Aside from the ladies-in-waiting, however, the queen's Swedish household was much bigger from her Norwegian one.

[4] Fanny Løvenskiold would also have served crown princess Louise, who stayed in Norway for a full year, an uncommonly long period, in 1856–1857.
