Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg

Juliane Cathrine Wilhelmine Wedel Jarlsberg (1818–1872) was a Norwegian court official.

She was the daughter of Norwegian baron Ferdinand Carl Maria Wedel-Jarlsberg (1781–1857) and Juliane Wilhelmine von Benzon (1783–1853).

[2] Prior to her marriage, Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg served as hoffrøken (maid of honour) to queen Josephine of Sweden and Norway under Fanny Løvenskiold.

During the Union of Sweden and Norway, the royal family mainly stayed in Sweden, and the Norwegian court staff served during their visits in Norway: during their visits in Norway, the royal family left their Swedish entourage at the border and was welcomed by their Norwegian court staff, and turned over their duties to their Swedish equivalents, and she thus shared her duties with her Swedish equivalent Wilhelmina Bonde in this fashion.

The queen's Norwegian household was however much smaller than her Swedish household: in 1869, Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg's Swedish equivalent Wilhelmina Bonde had three married ladies-in-waiting (statsfru) and three maids-of-honour (hovfröken) under her, while Juliane Wedel Jarlsberg had only one statsfru (Josephine Sparre) and one maid-of-honour (Alexandra Morgenstierne).
