Happy 51st birthday to Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland!

Born 15 September 1973, Olof Daniel Westling is a member of the Swedish royal family by marriage to Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden making Daniel the likely next consort of Sweden.

In 2001, he met the Crown Princess when he became her personal trainer. Daniel and Victoria received the required consent of King Carl XVI Gustaf and the Government of Sweden for marriage in February 2024.

The wedding took place in Stockholm Cathedral on 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' wedding. The couple has two children: Princess Estelle, Duchess of Östergötland (12) and Prince Oscar, Duke of Skåne (8).

(Fun fact: Prince Daniel was born on the day that King Carl XVI Gustaf ascended the throne)

ESTELLE BERNADOTTE // PRINCESS OF SWEDEN

“She is a member of the Swedish royal family and Duchess of Östergötland. She is the elder child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. She is the eldest grandchild of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and is second in line of succession to the Swedish throne, after her mother.”

[young-royals-confessions]

The husband of Crown Princess Viktoria is styled HRH, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Västergötland now and will become Prince Consort once she ascends the throne. Prince Daniel is only informal and not a proper title. I think it is the same for Ludvig in the YR universe.

Yesterday I saw a tiktok about the inbreeding in the house of Habsburg, so I googled it, and a couple of hours later I found myself trying to keep my eyes open reading about the history of the Norwegian monarchy.

Because King Olav V of Norway attended the wedding of King Carl Gustaf XVI and Silvia Sommerlath.

Because I was reading about Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. Because he's hot in Spanish he has the same name as Carlos Felipe de Habsburgo, who's father was Archduke Felix of Austria, who was the fourth son of Emperor Charles I of Austria, who was the last monarch to rule over Austria-Hungary.

Somewhere in between reading about the line of succesion and marriages related to the rule of Austria-Hungary I also read a great deal about the line of succession and marriages related to the rule of Germany and Prussia.

Anyway, I read all that yesterday before going to bed. The one thing that actually stuck with me? The one person I wanted to re-read about again the first thing this morning?

Prince Carl of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Västergötland, who was the third son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway, and had three daughters and a son.

Princess Margaretha of Sweden, who married Prince Axel of Denmark (for love<3), who was the first cousin to the King of Denmark, King of Norway, King of Greece, King of UK, Emperor of Russia, as well as the first cousin to the father of Prince Philip (Lizzie's spouse). So, you know, a lot of royal cousins.

Princess Märtha of Sweden, who married the Prince Alexander of Denmark (future King Olav V of Norway), making Märtha the Crown Princess of Norway. She passed away before her husband became the king, but her only son is the current king of Norway.

Princess Astrid of Sweden, who married Prince Leopold of Belgium, Duke of Brabant and the future King of the Belgians. For a year and a half, she was the Queen of the Belgians, before dying in a car accident at the age of 29. Both her two sons became the King of Belgians (the first one didn't have children).

Then we have Prince Carl, who's biggest positive achievement in life was to have such sisters. He himself was involved in the so-called Huseby Scandal, which I'm still trying to understand. Something to do with taking advantage of Florence Stephens, heiress to the Huseby estate.

Happy 47th birthday to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland!

Born on 14 July 1977, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.

She was baptised at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. Her godparents included Crown Prince Harald of Norway (later king of Norway), and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands (later queen of the Netherlands, 1980-2013).

Victoria was made crown princess on 1 January 1980 by the 1979 amendment to the Act of Succession of 1810 (Successionsordningen).

On 24 February 2009, it was confirmed that permission had been granted and that Victoria would marry Daniel Westling in the summer of 2010. The wedding date was set in Stockholm Cathedral for 19 June 2010, the 34th anniversary of her parents' marriage. The couple have two children: Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Duchess of Östergötland (12) and Prince Oscar Carl Olof, Duke of Skane (8)

Often referred to as the "Godmother of Europe, Crown Princess Victoria is the godmother of eighteen children including: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark; Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange; Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway; Prince Christian of Denmark; Princess Eléonore of Belgium; Princess Katharina of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland; and Prince Alexander, Duke of Södermanland.
