The summer that Queen Sofia was able to marry Harald of Norway
De un crucero en el ‘Agamenón’ en 1954 nació la intención de Federica de Grecia y Astrid de Noruega de unir a los entonces príncipes. “El resultado de ese emparejamiento forzado fue nulo”, dijo la reina emérita en su biografía autorizada de 1996
In the summer of 1954, Federica of Greece organised an 11-day cruise in the Aegean for around 100 European princes. The wife of King Paul I of the Hellenes planned the trip on the luxurious Agamenón to promote tourism in her country after World War II. The cruise aimed to introduce the princes to each other, with the hope that they might fall in love, much like Queen Victoria of England, Federica's great-grandmother, had done.
