All eyes are on Sweden as King Carl XVI Gustaf becomes the first monarch in the country’s history to celebrate a Golden Jubilee. The King has another claim to royal history, too. The laws of succession were changed in the early years of his reign to allow his eldest child, a daughter, to become heir in the place of her younger brother. Carl XVI Gustaf has spoken of his unhappiness at his son losing his rights but has had nothing but praise for the daughter who will take his throne. Crown Princess Victoria is the most popular member of the Swedish royal family and will have a starring role in the Jubilee party. On this celebration of 50, here are 50 facts about the princess born to be queen.
