Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf celebrates his golden jubilee on Friday, marking 50 years since he ascended the throne on Sept. 15, 1973
He is the longest-reigning king in the history of the Swedish monarchy, which stretches back more than 1,000 years.DON’T BELIEVE THE NUMERALS
Counting only people who actually existed, the current king would be the 10th – not 16th – Carl/Karl on the Swedish throne.He has multiple castles, gleaming medals and plenty of wealth, just like his ancestors. But unlike kings of old, Carl Gustaf has no say in how the country is run. Polls show a clear majority of Swedes support the monarchy even though it doesn’t fit neatly with the egalitarian principles of modern Swedish society.Female rulers are rare in the history of Europe’s monarchies and Sweden is no exception. Only two queens have reigned over Sweden since the hereditary monarchy was established in the 1500’s and both abdicated.
