Royal Persons

The kings of Norway, Sweden and Denmark in 1914
 

From left to right: Haakon VII of Norway, Gustaf V of Sweden and Christian X of Denmark. Haakon VII was brother to Christian X. Their grandfather on the female side was Karl XV, king of Sweden and Norway 1859 - 1872, so all three kings were relatives in some way.

This meeting, in which also the foreign ministers of the three countries attended, came at the initiative of the Swedish king, and was a manifestation of Nordic solidarity and neutrality in the time of World War I.
