Menu dated 15th June 1905



Luncheon at Windsor Castle hosted by Their Majesties King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra for the marriage of Princess Margaret of Connaught to His Royal Highness Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden (the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden)

On the 15th June 1905 the future King of Sweden married the niece of King Edward VII, Princess Margaret of Connaught, at the royal family’s private St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.



Princess Margaret, who died in 1920, is the grandmother to the current Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II, and the current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf.

King Edward VII hosted the wedding and the banquet that followed. In honor of the groom, who was heir to the Swedish throne, the menu features two symbolic dishes: Zèphires de Crabes á la Suédoise named after Sweden (Suédoise) and Chaufroix de Cailles à la Bernadotte named after the House of Bernadotte from which the Swedish Royal Family belongs.



On this day of her wedding, Princess Margaret became the Duchess of Scania. While her husband would eventually become the King of Sweden, Margaret would die before getting the chance to become Queen. Her husband would later marry his second wife, Princess Louise of Mountbatten, who would eventually become Queen Louise of Sweden.
