Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf is the youngest of five children born to Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess Sibylla. All four of his siblings are sisters, and the youngest of these is Princess Christina.
Princess Christina Louise Helena was born on 3 August 1943, three years before Carl Gustaf. Like the King, she was born in Solna’s Haga Palace, which is now home to Christina’s niece, Crown Princess Victoria and her family. Her three older sisters are Princesses Margaretha, Birgitta and Désirée. The four princesses were dubbed the “Haga Princesses” as they grew up.

Aquamarines are the birthstone for March, and the blue-tinted stone features in many royal jewel sets across Europe. This month, Royal Central is taking a look at our favourite royal aquamarines.
My all-time favourite is the Swedish royal Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara. The tiara has large aquamarines with diamonds dispersed throughout. It has been worn by Princess Margaretha, Princess Christina, Princess Madeleine and Crown Princess Victoria.

Despite more months passing and a first wave that many hoped would immunize the country, Sweden’s coronavirus approach doesn’t seem to be paying dividends so far and the situation is close to spiraling out of control, even as the country has one of the best medical systems in the world.
Rather ironically, Sweden ended up in this situation by listening to scientists or rather, by listening to one scientist in particular: Anders Tegnell, the current state epidemiologist of Sweden. The Swedish constitution prohibits ministerial rule and mandates that the relevant government body (in this case, the Public Health Agency) must initiate action on relevant challenges.
