This thread is for links about the Swedish royal family.
The appendix with Martin Sundqvist's legal-historical analysis is to my knowledge one of the most, if not the most, in-depth studies of the Swedish monarchy ever made. I had heard that we could expect a thorough and detailed report, but I couldn't have imagined something as remarkable as what we got. I'm certain that this will be the go-to reference for those researching different aspects of the monarchy for generations to come.On September 21, 2021, the parliamentary Committee on the Public Reward System, the General Flag Days and the Design of the Court's Grant completed its three-year investigation and released a 191-page report with a free-standing 440-page annex.
The annex to the report compiles a legal-historical study conducted by Martin Sunnqvist, associate professor at Lund University, covering dimensions of the monarchy and royal house inclusive of, but not limited to, the constitutional position, prerogatives, and functions of the monarchy; the king, the royal house and family, and the royal household; the development of the relationship between the monarchy and the government; financial grants and disposition of property; the public reward system, orders of chivalry, and medals; heraldry, titles, succession, and marriage.
The official website has been renewed, improved and updated with some new lovely portraits of the family today, March 29.
A nice, modern look compared to the old version:
** kungahuset.se **
A more modern website with more content.
It doesn't appear to have been considerably changed, but the technical upgrade has at least somewhat impaired the accessibility of the website. I also personally found the previous look to be more attractive and modern.
Unfortunately, the website did not redirect all of the old addresses to the new ones, with the consequence that many of the links to the website which were earlier posted on TRF and other forums, on social media, etc. will no longer be functional. In those cases, I recommend the Wayback Machine. https://web.archive.org
Could you point out where more content has been added? It is not apparent at first glance, but I have only taken a brief look at the new website.
There are several instances in that list where younger siblings are placed before older siblings.It's noteworthy that CP and Sofia are place AHEAD of Victoria and Daniel (as well as their children being placed ahead of V&D's children) on this section of the website.
I guess the king wanted to stress the male(-line) over the female(-line) descendants?!
There has for instance been added "The Crown Princess through the years", many photos of the members of the royal family at the person's page. At every person's page is also the person's crown, the Seraphim Shield and monogram. And list of the person's orders. And there is a section "Meet the employees", presenting some employees of the Royal Court.
