Today His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden can celebrate 50 years on the throne.

Her Majesty the Queen, the Crown Prince Couple and Her Majesty Queen Anne-Marie are in Stockholm to participate in the anniversary celebrations.

Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses together with the Swedish royal family visited this morning King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden's grave in Hagaparken. The former Swedish king was the grandfather of King Carl Gustaf and maternal grandfather of the Queen, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne-Marie.

Then followed a thanksgiving service, Te Deum, in the Royal Church of Stockholm Palace, followed by the changing of the guard and a song tribute in the palace courtyard, where the jubilee, the Nordic heads of state and the other royals appeared on the balcony.

Carl XVI Gustaf

Physique: Average Build Height: 5’ 10½" (1.79 m)

Carl XVI Gustaf (Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus; born 30 April 1946 -) is King of Sweden. He ascended the throne on the death of his grandfather, Gustaf VI Adolf, on 15 September 1973 and is the longest-reigning monarch in Swedish history, having surpassed King Magnus IV's reign of 44 years and 222 days on 26 April 2018.

The King is passionate about the environment, technology, agriculture, trade and industry. He’s also has a keen interest in automobiles. The King is the honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation, and often participates in Scout activities both in Sweden and abroad. That’s kinda fitting as he helped pitched a tent in my pants.

A handsome silverfox with a Jim Broadbent look to him, King Carl was seen as the perfect 21st-century monarch and an ordinary family man loved by his people. While his 45-year marriage to Queen Silvia was credited as a wonderful example of partnership with three children and eight grandchildren. For years, his only acknowledgement of a racier world was the stable of fast cars he enjoyed driving.

Then I find out he had wild sex parties with strippers, a lengthy affair with a singer in the 1990s and visited exclusive strip clubs during foreign visits; in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics and in Slovakia in 2008. And after one big dinner ­celebrating a successful elk hunt, he is said to have enjoyed sex with two women at the same time. Shit... now I want to fuck him more.

Who do you think are the 3 most beautiful granddaughters of Queen Victoria?

Beauty is a subjective matter, and different people may have different preferences and tastes.

I'm sure that all the granddaughters of Queen Victoria are beautiful and unique in their own way... 💓🫶🥺 However, in my opinion, 3 of the most beautiful granddaughters of Queen Victoria are included:

- Princess Margaret of Connaught (1882–1920) was the daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden, the future King Gustaf VI Adolf, in 1905 and became the Crown Princess of Sweden. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and charm, and was popular among the Swedish people. She died in 1920, at the age of 38.

- Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh (1876–1936) was the daughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married twice: first to her cousin Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse; and second to another cousin Kirill Vladimirovich, Grand Duke of Russia. She was considered a beauty in her youth, with dark hair and blue eyes. She was also interested in music and art, and supported her husband's claim to the Russian throne after the revolution.

- Princess Marie of Edinburgh (1875–1938) was the daughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She married King Ferdinand I of Romania in 1893. She was admired for her beauty, elegance, and style, and was nicknamed "the pearl of the crown" by the Romanian people. She was also a patron of arts and culture, and a humanitarian who helped refugees.
