Princess Ingeborg had seven siblings, the two eldest of whom were Prince Christian (the future King [[Christian X of Denmark]]) and Prince Carl (the future King [[Haakon VII of Norway]]).<ref name="Burke's Royal Families"/> She was raised with her siblings at the royal household in Copenhagen, and grew up between her parents' city residence, the [[Frederik VIII's Palace]],{{efn|[[Frederik VIII's Palace]] is also known as [[Brockdorff's Palace]].}} an 18th-century [[palace]] which forms part of the [[Amalienborg Palace]] complex in central [[Copenhagen]], and their country residence, the [[Charlottenlund Palace]], located by the coastline of the [[Øresund]] [[strait]] north of the city. In contrast to the usual practise of the period, where royal children were brought up by [[governess]]es, the children were raised by Crown Princess Louise herself.{{sfn|Bramsen|1992|p=274}} Under the supervision of their mother, the children of the Crown Princess received a rather strict Christian-dominated upbringing, which was characterized by severity, the fulfillment of duties, care and order.{{sfn|Bramsen|1992|p=274}} In spite of this austere upbringing, Princess Ingeborg grew up to be a friendly, carefree and quick-witted young woman.{{CN|date=May 2024}}
