 It was reportedly Ohan Demirgian who suggested the Polish countess Graciosa Krasińska, rather than Thyra of Denmark or a Russian Grand Duchess, as candidate for the second marriage of Charles XV after the death of the queen, Louise of the Netherlands, in 1871.Charles XV stated, that he would remarry because it would make it possible to produce a male heir to the throne, and the fortune of the bride would be of great help to the finances.To the argument that Krasińska was not royal, he replied that it was only princes, not the monarchs themselves, who were banned from marrying non-royals - and in any case, he would have her relative, the king of Italy, to give her royal status by adopting her.
