Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée (July 14, 1977) is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf. If she ascends to the throne as expected, she would be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1979 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture.
Princess Victoria has dyslexia, as do her father King Carl XVI Gustaf and her brother Prince Carl Philip. She also has prosopagnosia, which makes it difficult to recognize familiar faces. The Crown Princess Victoria's Fund was set up in 1997 and is run as a part of Radiohjälpen, the fundraising branch of Sveriges Television and Sveriges Radio. The fund's aim is to provide support for leisure and recreational activities for children and young people with functional disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Princess Victoria married Daniel Westling in 2010 and they had two children: Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar.
In January 2016, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appointed The Crown Princess as a member of Sustainable Development Goals Advocates for Agenda 2030. The Crown Princess is therefore one of 16 ambassadors in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Advocacy Group. The group's task is to promote the UN's Sustainable Development Goals - Agenda 2030 - in various ways. The Crown Princess primarily works with issues concerning water and health.
