Swedish Royal Family

The Swedish Royal Family, known as the House of Bernadotte, is Sweden’s official monarchy, with King Carl XVI Gustaf as the current head. The monarchy is largely ceremonial, symbolizing national unity and tradition, while political power resides with elected officials. The Royal Family performs public duties, supports charitable activities, and represents Sweden internationally. Members include the King, his children, and grandchildren, with Crown Princess Victoria as the heir apparent. The monarchy is hereditary, passing through generations, and operates under a constitutional framework that limits royal authority, ensuring they serve as symbolic figures rather than political rulers.
