What a handsome couple. I'm always getting English language cousins mixed up, but Harry is the first cousin three times removed of King Carl Gustav?

His grandmother is King Carl Gustav's first cousin so that makes Harry Carl Gustav's first cousin twice removed, Crown Princess Victoria's second cousin once removed, and Estelle's third cousin.
