Juliane Cathrine Wilhelmine Wedel Jarlsberg (1818–1872) was a Norwegian court official.[1] She served as the overhoffmesterinne for Queen Louise of Norway.
She was the daughter of Norwegian nobleman Ferdinand Carl Maria Wedel-Jarlsberg (1781–1857) and Juliane Wilhelmine von Benzon (1783–1853). In 1851 she married the Norwegian nobleman Frederik (Fritz) Joachim Wedel Jarlsberg (1819–1880). She was the mother of Fritz Wedel Jarlsberg.
Prior to her marriage she served as hoffrøken (maid of honour) to queen Josephine of Sweden and Norway under Fanny Løvenskiold. After her marriage, she was appointed overhoffmesterinne or principal lady-in-waiting to Queen Louise of Norway, who became queen in 1859. Her spouse was parallel appointed be the hoffmarskalk (chamberlain) of the spouse of queen Louise, king Charles IV of Norway.
During the Union of Sweden and Norway, the Royal family mainly stayed in Sweden, and the Norwegian court staff served during their visits in Norway: during their visits in Norway, the royal family left their Swedish entourage at the border and was welcomed by their Norwegian court staff, and turned over their duties to their Swedish equivalents, and she thus shred her duties with her Swedish equivalent Wilhelmina Bonde in this fashion.
