Default HM King Carl XVI Gustaf's Enthronement; September 15, 1973

On the 15th September 1973, HM King Gustav VI Adolf died (1882-1973), having acceded in 1950 on the death of his own father, HM King Gustav V (1858-1950). Prince Gustav Adolf, had been killed in 1947, and his son Prince Carl Gustaf had, in 1973, been crown prince for 23 years. The King of Sweden had maintained a court quite full of protocol and tradition. The enthronement ceremony, yet very solemn but more discreet than in the years of King Gustav VI Adolf’s reign, took place on the 19th September, in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

In another room of the Royal Palace, the King presided over the Cabinet meeting, and after having announced what his title and name would be, he swore the King's oath from 1809 called "Konungaförsäkran" and then he signed the enthronement documents.
