Crown Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Queen Silvia, was born on July 14, 1977 as the first child in her family in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, receiving the title “Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Sweden” at birth. And she would never have become a contender for the throne if not for the constitutional reform that occurred after the birth of her brother Prince Carl Philip and changed the law of inheritance in accordance with the principle of absolute primogeniture. The uniqueness of the changes was that, if previously only boys had the right to inherit, now the girl crown princess was ahead of Madeleine’s younger brother and younger sister in line for the throne.

By the way, Victoria is the only princess in the world who ranks first in line to the royal throne. And after the death of her father, she will be the fourth reigning queen of Sweden since 1720. It is also interesting that Victoria is also the heir to the British throne, since her father Carl Gustav is Elizabeth II’s second cousin. Although her place in this queue is only 205th.

Education and career
Despite being diagnosed with dyslexia and learning difficulties during her school years, Victoria was able to receive an excellent education. She spent a year at the Catholic University of the West in Angers, France, followed by a year of internship at the Swedish Parliament, two years at Yale University, and then an internship at the Swedish Embassy in Washington. And that’s not it. Someday, the queen will ascend to the throne, who studied military affairs in the army for three weeks (it seems that she will be especially useful after Sweden joins NATO), delved into the problems of resolving world conflicts and organizing peacekeeping activities at the Swedish National Cathedral College, interned at the UNN, in the offices Swedish Trade Organization in Berlin and Paris, at the Swedish Representation of the European Union, and also received a B.A.

Personal life
Today the Crown Princess is quite happy. She is married and has two beautiful children – a daughter, Princess Estelle, Duchess of Östergotland, second in line of succession to the throne after her mother, and a son, Oscar Karl Olof, Duke of Skåne, third in line of succession to the throne after her sister. However, the path to this happiness was not easy. Her first choice, Daniel Kollert, the stepson of the influential Swedish banker Joran Kollert, was not approved by the family. A long romance, accompanied by empty attempts to overcome obstacles, ended with anorexia of the crown princess and a painful breakup in 2001.

Surprisingly, Victoria’s new lover, whom she met a year later, her personal fitness trainer Daniel Westling, came to the court. Apparently, the parents were afraid that their daughter would not survive the new personal drama. The government gave permission for the marriage, and the Crown Princess did not lose her right of inheritance.
