Madeleine’s older sister, Crown Princess Victoria, is heir to the Swedish throne. Victoria’s 1-year-old daughter, Princess Estelle, is now second in line to the throne, followed by her uncle Prince Carl Philip and aunt Madeline!
If you’re not well versed in your Swedish monarchy history, here’s all you need to know: Sweden has a constitutional monarchy and the royals are primarily figureheads. Madeleine’s dad King Carl XVI Gustaf is the country’s head of state, and his powers are limited to representative and ceremonial duties. In 1980, the Sweden implemented the policy that the first born heir — regardless of gender — would inherit the throne.
