Carina, Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg (born Carina Axelsson; August 5, 1968) is an American author, best known for the teen fashion detective series Model Under Cover.[2] She is the wife of Gustav, 7th Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.
Biography[edit]
She has Swedish and Mexican ancestry. Her father was an electronic engineer. She has a younger brother, Erik, and a younger sister, Liselotte.[3]
After growing up in California, Axelsson moved to New York to pursue a career in fashion modelling.[citation needed]
Axelsson later moved to Paris, where she studied art and wrote and illustrated her first book, a picture book for children (Nigel of Hyde Park, 2004, Assouline).[4] Axelsson continued in fashion with a short stint working as PA to fashion designer John Galliano. Her experiences in fashion - along with a love of Scooby-Doo and Agatha Christie - inspired her to write the Model Under Cover book series.[5]
Every year, sales of Axelsson's advent calendar increases the overall budget of her local library by 25% to 50%.[6] Axelsson has said, "Growing up, one of my favourite places to be was in my local library. I feel strongly that town libraries are an important part of any community lucky enough to have one. But with the budget cuts so many libraries are now forced to endure, they're facing an uphill battle in bringing new books to their shelves – and my local library is no exception."[3]
On 3 June 2022 she married civilly Gustav, 7th Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, thus becoming the Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. They married religiously the following day in Bad Berleburg. They live at Schloss Berleburg in Germany with their four dogs. They were unable to marry earlier due to a clause in Gustav's grandfather's will preventing him from inheriting family property if he partakes in an unequal marriage. Nonetheless, she was treated by the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg House as his official partner and accompanies him to family events.[7]
