I am Sophie Piper, I was a Swedish countess and lady in waiting. I was the daughter of count Axel von Fersen the Elder and Hedvig Catharina von Fersen and the sister of Axel von Fersen the Younger, Hedvig Eleonora von Fersen and Fabian von Fersen (1762–1818). I am foremost known for my close friendship with Queen Hedvig Elizabeth Charlotte, who dedicated her famous diary to me.
