Marcelle Tascher de la Pagerie

Marie-Marseille-Adéle "Marcelle" Tascher de la Pagerie née Clary (1792–1866) was a French countess.

In 1823, she accompanied her paternal aunt to Sweden, when Désirée went there to assume her post as Queen at the occasion of her son's wedding to Josephine of Leuchtenberg.

In contrast to the favorite of Desiree from her last visit in 1811, Elise la Flotte, Marcelle Tascher became popular and well liked in Sweden.

Désirée reportedly felt lonely and isolated, and started to spend more time with the silk merchant Carl Abraham Arfwedson, who had lived in her home during her upbringing and with whom she liked to talk with of France, a friendship which caused rumors that they once had a romance.

[3] Upon her coronation in 1829, Désirée commented that she missed Tascher: "It will be very difficult, and I would have needed Marcelle here to given me courage, but I must give that up.
