King, Queen, and Crown Princess of Sweden Stamps



These postcards show stamps commemorating the royal wedding of of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Silvia Sommlath on 19 June 1976 and the "New Order of Succession" in 1980. Crown Princess Victoria was born on 14 July 1977 and is the oldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Her first place in succession formally went into effect on 1 January 1980 with the parliamentary change to the Act of Succession that introduced absolute primogeniture.

    I like the one colour engraved stamps. They have only changed our succession to first born very recently.

    I didn't realise the Swedish succession had changed to primogeniture such a long time ago.
