Royals: Sweden's king and crown princess come to the coronation

Sweden’s King Carl XVI. Gustaf (76) and his eldest daughter, Crown Princess Victoria (45), represent the Swedish royal family at the coronation of Charles III. in Great Britain. As can be seen from the calendar of the Swedish court, the two attend the ceremony on May 6 in London as guests, but not Queen Silvia (79).

This is Carl XVI. Gustaf the only Scandinavian monarch to attend the coronation of the British king. The Danish Queen Margrethe II is not fit enough after her back operation in February. Norway’s King Harald V has also canceled the British royals, according to the Norwegian court’s official calendar. Instead, the crown prince couples from Norway and Denmark come to the celebration.
