Prince Georg Friedrich and Princess Sophie visited Stockholm one weekend in May. The occasion was the conferral of the Order of the Amaranth, a historic Swedish order founded in 1653 by Queen Christina of Sweden and kept alive to this day.<\/p>\n
In the run-up to the award ceremony, Prince Georg Friedrich met with Speaker of Parliament Andreas Norl\u00e9n for a discussion at the Swedish Parliament. He then visited the Order\u2019s collection at the Royal Palace, as well as Riddarholm Church\u2014the former burial site of Swedish kings\u2014and the Swedish House of Knights. At these sites, numerous coats of arms commemorate the knights of the Royal Order of Seraphim\u2014including many heads of state and several members of the House of Hohenzollern from the Brandenburg-Prussian and Swabian-Catholic lines, as well as the Romanian royal family.<\/p>\n
The ties between Sweden and the House of Hohenzollern date back centuries. They are evident, among other things, in Queen Christina of Sweden, whose mother Maria Eleonora was from the House of Brandenburg, as well as in Queen Luise Ulrike, the sister of Frederick the Great. Through the marriage of Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern (1932\u20132016) to Princess Birgitta of Sweden (1937\u20132024), the sister of King Carl XVI Gustaf, the ties between the houses continue to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
