When did boys typically start wearing suits in Lennart's day?

That's quite the amount of glitter.
-It's a sweet picture.
-Poor Edmund, and poor CG. This must be one of the only ways he knew his father.
-I wonder if CG has his grandfather and great-grandfather's longevity genes...?

King Carl XVI Gustaf later said that he had been in the lap of someone, who had been in the lap of Napoleon's first fiancée.
(Gustaf V's great-grandmother Désirée had indeed been engaged to Napoleon.)
That makes you feel how far back the Bernadotte dynasty goes...

Apparently there was a movie made about Kurt Haijby and his relationship with Gustav and the consequences. https://youtu.be/dN1YzVuGE-A (The trailer contains some brief nudity so I'll leave the link like this.)
I wonder how it was received in Sweden?

I think either the blackmail or some of Haijby's subsequent treatment or the strong evidence Gustav seems to have propositioned a lot of men, including people in the government, still might not go over great. Although today a king might have more sense than to hit on the prime minister, back then he still had actual power.
