was like us. They weren’t born royal and that makes them relatable,” says Pataki. “But then they enter into this world and they go behind the veil and we’re always intrigued to get those moments of candor because it shows us what it’s really like.”Desiree, who was born in 1777, was a merchant’s daughter in France and met Napoleon when his brother, Joseph, wed her sister, Julie, in 1794. The two fell in love and became engaged.
But there is much more to Desiree’s story. She eventually became Queen Desideria of Sweden when she married Jean Bernadotte, who was appointed King in 1818. The couple had a son, Oscar, establishing the Bernadotte. The current king of Sweden, King Carl Gustaf, is Desiree’s descendent, as is his daughter and future Queen, the Crown Princess Victoria. “Crown Princess Victoria, who’s the young next generation leader, her middle name is Desiree,” Pataki notes.
