    Cover: Prince Bertil of Sweden and Lilian Craig, a married dancer from Swansea, met in
    London in 1943. They fell in love and Lilian Craig was
    divorced in 1947 but King Gustaf Adolf VI, Prince Ber-
    tils father, forbade them to marry she was a commoner
    and a divorcee. After the war,: when the cover picture, left, was taken in a Paris
    restaurant, the couple began a secret relationship.
    The Swedish Press knew, but agreed not to publicise.

    In 1973 King Gustaf Adolf died and Bertils
    nephew Carl Gustaf became king. Last year he
    himself married a commoner and. invited Lilian
    officially to Court for his wedding. On December 7,
    33 years after they first met, Bertil and Lilian,
    now 64 and 61 (inset, left), became man and wife.
