In a new series, we are taking a look at the various lines of successions in the world’s monarchies. This edition is looking at the ten people in the Swedish line of succession.
Current monarch: King Carl XVI Gustaf (b. 1946) who came to the throne in 1973 after the death of his grandfather, King Gustaf VI Adolf.

The King was born to Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess Sibylla. He became the heir apparent at four-years-old when his great-grandfather died, and his grandfather ascended the throne. Carl Gustaf’s father had died when the future monarch was only nine-months-old.
