Long Live The Queen!

It's not a "done deal" but it appears that the Swedish population is urging a Monarchial change! Carl XVI Gustaf has been King of Sweden since September 15th, 1973, when his grandfather died. He is the only son of the late Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess Sibylla. The eldest child to inherit the throne is a girl! An unusual law concerning heir apparents was passed January, 1980, enabling the eldest child of the King and his wife Queen Silvia, male or female, to inherit the throne. The next Swedish ruler will be Queen Victoria. -------------------- Crown Princess Victoria Ingrid Alice Desiree was born July 14th, 1977. Being the first-born of the present King and Queen, she will be next to succeed the throne. June 19, 2010, the Crown Princess wed Daniel Westling, a gym-owner, in a spectacular three-day royal wedding. This was the first wedding of a female heir to the throne in the history of Sweden. The royal couple has been wildly accepted by the Swedish population. --------------------- The latest news report from Sweden finds the people anxiously awaiting her ascension to the Swedish throne. They are urging King Gustaf to retire, allowing Crown Princess Victoria to become the next Queen of Sweden. Stay tuned!
