King of Sweden

The King of Sweden is a ceremonial figurehead who represents the nation and its traditions but holds mostly symbolic authority. The role is rooted in Sweden’s constitutional monarchy, established in the 19th century, where political power resides primarily with elected officials. The king performs official duties like attending state events, hosting dignitaries, and promoting national interests, but does not engage in day-to-day governance or policymaking. The position is based on cultural heritage and national identity, serving as a unifying symbol for the Swedish people within a democratic framework.
