This September His Majesty King Carl Gustaf has been on the Swedish Thrown for fifty years.I remember that when he took over, less than fifty persent supported the Monarchy in Sweden, and wanted Sweden to become a Republic.A change in the Constitution kept it going the first years, then the King married Silvia who was strong help as Queen.Most people liked her.They had 3 children, and people were allowed to follow their lives on a program 1 to 2 times a year . The King and Queen for some years answered questions from the press once a year, but after a time stopped.This became popular.The change of the Swedish Constitution making it from only mail heir, to that the oldest child will heir the Thrown no matter what sex the child has.This made Princess Victoria, Crown Princess at an age of 2 and a half years.The Swedish Royal House, with the King, Queen his children especially Crown Princess Victoria have become so popular that there is no risk of Republic to day.

Ich finde zwar Königshäuser nicht überall gut aber in Schweden passt das Königshaus gut hin. Wo es nicht mehr so gut ist ist in Spanien dort wird bald Schluss sein mit Monarchie. Oder in Großbritannien dort wird vielleicht William der letzte König sein und dann ist Schluss. In Belgien passt es auch noch einen König zu haben. Was mit den Fürstentümern sein wird weiß man nicht. 😊
