Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Sibylle Calma Marie Alice Bathildis Feodora;[1] 18 January 1908 – 28 November 1972)[2] was a member of the Swedish royal family and the mother of the current king of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf.

She was the elder daughter and second child of Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein.

The children received, as was common in aristocratic circles at the time, their initial schooling by private tutors and governesses.

One of the other bridesmaids was her second cousin Princess Ingrid of Sweden, who introduced Sibylla to her brother, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten.

Although the monarchy had been abolished, the wedding was still celebrated in an official manner in Coburg, with, among other things, military honors and a public procession, as the German President Paul von Hindenburg had ordered that no honours should be spared.

Sibylla shared her husband's enthusiasm for sport and outdoor activities, and the couple owned a cottage in Ingarö and another one in Storlien.

[citation needed] Sibylla became a widow on 26 January 1947 when Gustaf Adolf died in an airplane crash at the Copenhagen Airport in Denmark.

She continued with the so-called "Democratic ladies lunches" for career women initiated by Queen Louise in 1962 as a replacement for the court presentation.
