Carlos Gustavo de Suecia cumple 80: su amor con una plebeya y controversia por la sucesión al trono

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden turns 80. The death of his father in a plane crash when he was just nine months old marked his childhood, making him the heir to the throne prematurely. At 27, he was crowned King, and at 30, he married Silvia Sommerlath, a German flight attendant he met at the Olympic Games. This followed a long love affair that they managed to keep secret for years. They have three children together: Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Carl Philip, and Princess Madeleine, and he is the grandfather of nine grandchildren. His reign has not been without controversy, such as his statements asserting that the retroactive abolition of the Salic Law had been a mistake. The law was passed after the birth of his son, Carl Philip, and meant that Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden would be the heir to the throne instead of her brother. In 2023, the year of his Golden Jubilee, marking 50 years on the throne, the monarch underwent heart surgery.
