PRINCE CARL PHILIP (4 of 4)
Age: 24
Personal style: Smart-casual (with the emphasis on smart)
The lowdown: The young Swedish prince is a man of conviction and has built a reputation for excellence in all he undertakes. A committed Christian, he attended the prestigious Kent school in Connecticut, before joining the amphibious battalion of Sweden's Coast Artillery Regiment, where he became a combat boat commander. His other great passion is speed, which manifests itself in his penchant for skiing, speedboating and driving the beloved Porsche he inherited from Prince Bertil.
Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden.
Family: The middle child of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
Where to find him: That's a good question. He's no party animal, so the celebrity circuit is unlikely to yield an encounter. But if there's a society event in Stockholm with a noble cause, you're sure to find him there.
Ex-girlfriends: He's been dating Emma Pernald for quite some time, and rumour has it that they're getting serious, so hopeful princesses had better move fast.
Financial status: With seven palaces and myriad of luxury homes to their name, the Swedish royals are certainly not hard-up.
What to avoid: Mentioning the 1979 Act of Succession. Had it not been for this amendment to the law, Prince Carl would have been first in line to the throne. |
