Swedish estate owner. Having invested wisely in real estate she became the victim and main subject of the 1950s Huseby scandal where she lost the Huseby Estate due to the shady dealings of several men she had acquainted herself with. Prince Carl Bernadotte was one of the men involved. She said she was one of the extramarital daughters of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway which persons local to the Huseby Estate also knew due to the King's visits there and the royal family's involvement. When she died she donated letters about this to the Bernadotte Library to be opened 30 years later (2009). King Carl XVI Gustaf, however, has labeled them confidential until at least 2035.
