Lindqvist (and others) are correct in a certain way when they talk about 'A Swedish Royal' not having married a commoner in a long time, because Carl Gustaf was not 'A Royal' when he married commoner Silvia Sommerlath, but he was 'THE Monarch'.i understand that Furienna and i thank you both, but i am sure i heard people saying that it was the first time a royal in sweden married a commoner in a long time or ever, I cannot remember.
I saw it also being said by Herman Lindqvist (which i don't admire but still)!
(And by law didn't need any consent to this marriage but his own.)
Btw., the story about Silvia's mother Alice de Toledo descending from an illegitimate child of a Portuguese Royal is a fairy tale, as far as I know.
