General Swedish Royalty Facts, Discussion and Questions

Speaking of inheritance, i know that Prince Carl Philip already inherited the Ökenäs farm and some other places are rumored to become his in the future, so i was wondering if you know what will become of CP Victoria and of Princess Madeleine?
Does CP Victoria own something else than Haga Palace?

Victoria doesn't own Haga Palace. After standing empty for a long period, Gustaf VI Adolf granted use of the palace to the Swedish government for foreign guests. In 2009, the government transferred the right of disposal back to H.M. The King, in order to prepare a home for The Crown Princess Couple.

That is right, my mistake! thank you
Anything else?

[Josefine]

i think soliden in Öland will go to victoria

[Esmerelda]

I'm sure she's well provided for financially but Madeleine seems to be left out in the big inheritances.

Maybe i am wrong, but i would suppose that the majority of the royal palaces will stay linked to the Crown and so to Crown Princess Victoria.
However, are the royal palaces of the SRF or of the state?
I wonder who will stay in Drottingholm when, hopefully many years from now, the king and queen pass away.

When Victoria and Daniel moved to the Haga Palace, it was written at the press that the king thinks that they might stay there even after Victoria becomes Queen. The king owns Solliden, I don't know if he owns any other castle, he leases the Stenhammar estate and castle from the swedish state.The extensive property went to the Swedish government in 1903 in accordance with Anders Robert von Kraemer's will. The will orders that the main building is leased to a male representant from Bernadotte family.

Only Stenhammar and Solliden Palace are private property of the monarch.
The ownership of the other Palaces (there are others like Tullgarn, Rosendal, Strömsholm etc.) is actually a complicated matter - on one hand, they are state property, on the other, they are at the disposal of the royal family and factually, most of their interior from furniture to art belongs again to the monarch and the royal family's foundations.
As far as Victoria and family are concerned:
In an interview last year, King Carl Gustaf said that they definitely plan to stay at Haga Palace and not move to Drottningholm one day after he passes away.

Thank you for both of your responses!
I understand better now, even though it seems such a complicated matter.
I had thought that Victoria and her family were to stay in Haga, that's why i was wondering about drottingholm.

I doubt that queen Joséphine meant anything else than that the future monarch would inherit the collection, and that the paintings would stay in the Swedish royal family, even if she worded her will in an unusual manner. I would think that the wording "firstborn son of the king" prevented the collection to end up in Denmark at the death of Carl XV, who only had a daughter, I would guess that the collection instead went to the next "firstborn son of the king", the future Gustaf V, the nephew of Carl XV.

Very good summary from Trond N. Isaksen's blog about the issue of the inheritance of the Galliera art collection:

[wok_kym]

Have the ongoing riots in Stockholm and area got close to the royal residences?

I am trying to wrap around this to understand! What exactly is this?

[USCtrojan]

Now that I think about it -perhaps the order placed on/near HM Queen Alexandra's coffin is one of the Greek royal orders? Is there a balkin order expert around on these boards somewhere?

I think you're posting in the wrong thread by accident :)

Oops! Yes! Thanks! I meant for another thread as I was reading both at the same time. Sorry...

No, not really. Husby (and some other suburbs) are quite far from Stockholms slott and Haga. So no worries about that.
