The handsome Prince of Sweden

Prince Carl Philip is the only Prince of Sweden. His two sisters are Princesses Victoria and Madeleine. It is said that the Prince is shy and like to stay in the outskirts of fame.

He was born on 13 of May 1979. His full name is Carl Philip Edmund Bertil Bernadotte.
1982 the royal family moved to Drottningholms Castle.


Carl Philip was born to be the crown prince of Sweden but a year after his birth the parliament changed the order of succession. The new law meant that the first born child, instead of the first born son, should inherit the heir to the throne. Thus, his older sister Victoria became crown princess and Carl Philip became prince.

After having finished high school he went to the USA where he studied at the American Kent in the state of Conneticut for two years. After that he went back to Sweden where he finished senior high school at the boardin school Lundsbergs skola. He graduated in 1999.
