Royal Roles & Titles for the Spouses of Victoria, Carl Philip & Madeleine

[Somebody]

Could Christopher O'Neill have taken the title of Duke of Halsingland and Gastrikland without taking the title of Prince Christopher of Sweden?

Yes, as that was the plan for Jonas. He was not expected to be a prince but he was supposed to take Madeleine's ducal titles.

I was aware that Prince Daniel has always been seated in the second row at the Nobel Prize ceremony, even during the period when the Crown Princess sat in the front row, but I hadn't realized he was relegated to the second row even at his own wife's birthday concerts. (Edited to add: That is incorrect as the quoted posts do not refer to the birthday concert. See Stefan's correction below.)

Surely this arrangement cannot continue into the next reign?

Victoria and Daniel have sat together at the second row at the Nobel Prize ceremony since 2014.
