Hello! I know all about the BRF and their current family members but I can’t seem to keep straight everyone in the Swedish family. Could you explain who is who of the main royals (especially the kids, there seems to be a lot of little kids!). Thank you!
King Carl XVI Gustaf- The top dog of the royal family. Awkward, scandal prone but ultimately loves his family very much and people who meet him away from the cameras always say how personable he is.
Queen Silvia- Carl Gustaf’s wife. She was born in Germany to a German father and Brazilian mother. She lived for some time in Brazil as well. They met at the Munich Olympics and the rest is history. Effortlessly chic always. She’s a highly impressive woman who can speak multiple languages fluently
Crown Princess Victoria- The oldest daughter of Carl Gustaf and Silvia. Born in 1977 she was displaced by her younger brother until Sweden changed the law in 1980 and she given back her rightful place as heir. Pure cupcake
Prince Daniel- Victoria’s husband. He was a personal trainer and had his own gyms. That’s where he met Victoria and their relationship blossomed. They married in 2010. Daniel loves Victoria more than anyone loves anything
Princess Estelle- Victoria and Daniel’s oldest child and the future Queen of Sweden. She was born in 2012. Just like her mum was, she is the mama hen of the other royal children and has entertained us with her sass for six years.
Prince Oscar- Victoria and Daniel’s younger child. He was born in 2016. He is the master of serious faces. I’m pretty sure it’s because his smile is so beautiful that if he did it too much the world would implode
Prince Carl Philip- Silvia and Carl Gustaf’s middle child and only son. He was born in 1979 and immediately became heir to the throne. A year later the laws were changed and he was moved down to second in line. He’s extremely beautiful and is also super sensitive so he’s basically the perfect man
Princess Sofia- Prince Carl Philip’s wife. They got married in 2015 (I was in Stockholm for their wedding). She was a glamour model and reality TV star which caused a bit of a stir but she also founded her own charity and is extremely eloquent and passionate. Also beautiful.
Prince Alexander- Carl Philip and Sofia’s first son. He was born in 2016. Initially he was a little quiet but now he’s basically a little cherub who has a vibrant personality and filled the chaotic gap we’d come to expect from the kids when Leonore couldn’t go to a family event.
Prince Gabriel- Carl Philip and Sofia’s second son. He was born in 2017. We haven’t got to know him too well yet because he’s still so little but he has the biggest blue eyes and loves chomping on his programme
Princess Madeleine- Carl Gustaf and Silvia’s youngest child and second daughter. She was born in 1982. She had a bit of a reputation as a wild thing as a young woman but she’s settled down. She lives in London now and works privately for Childhood, a charity founded by her mother Silvia.
Chris O’Neill- Madeleine’s husband since 2013. He is not a working royal and didn’t take a title. At first people didn’t trust Chris and kind of thought he was a bit cold. But then he cried at their wedding and gave an interview where he just talked about how much he loved her and how amazing she is for an hour and everyone fell in love
Princess Leonore- Madeleine and Chris’s oldest child. Leonore was born in 2014 and her mum was likely a few weeks pregnant at the wedding. She is known as the Princess of Destruction and I call her the Little Adventurer after a nickname Madeleine gave her because she’s always a whirlwind of chaos
Prince Nicolas- Madeleine and Chris’s middle child and only son. He was born in 2015. He’s more stoic and quiet than his sister and seems to be the more gentle soul. Apparently he loves taking himself off to quietly read a book. Probably best known for chomping on a light up toothbrush at Oscar’s christening in 2016
Princess Adrienne- The baby of the siblings. She was born earlier this year (2018). We obviously don’t know her too well yet but I’m excited to get to know her over the years
