Equality and stability of Sweden is probably one of the most exemplary democracies in the world.By Carl XVI Gustav, the monarchy and the royal family in this country have a fairly strong roots and a great public support.
head of state is considered an important symbol of Sweden.King is not interested in politics, he has no formal authority, since 1974.His duties are mainly ceremonial and representative nature.The monarch, who lost their last rights - appoint the prime minister - has become a "trading symbol" of the state, "promoting" its business interests around the world.
royal family of Sweden is one of the oldest in the world.Monarchist tradition in this country, there are, without a break, have a millennium.According to the Constitution, the royal family sends inherit the throne eldest descendant of the monarch, and, regardless of gender.Therefore, the head of Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria will be the future, and not brother Carl Philip, who younger than her age.
In the struggle for existence royal house went to great: including a change in the laws of succession.Today, members of the Swedish royal family, except Carl Gustav XVI, is also Victoria with her husband - Prince Daniel, Carl Philip and loving visit to the United States Princess Madeleine.But the royal house and the royal family - these are two different concepts.The structure also includes first and other close relatives of the king - his sister Birgitta and the widow of his uncle.
Swedish royal family uses the deserved love of his subjects.King constantly visited municipalities, makes so-called "eriksgatury" - visits to the provinces, thus showing their closeness to the people who answered him adoringly.To his eyes to look at the wedding of Crown Princess in Stockholm in 2010, the year of a great many people gathered from all over the country.
royal family is actively involved in charity work and that the Swedes are very much appreciated.They love watching all the programs related to the monarch's house.For example, the broadcast of the birth of Victoria broke all ratings records in strane.A a triumph was when in 2011, declared that the Crown Princess was pregnant!One of the Swedish parent sites even put the picture of the embryo in the crown.Sometimes, however, the royal family of Sweden takes a very unusual signs of love: for example, in the Stockholm museum sells rugs and knives for opening cans with the emblem of royal family.
Today, however, in Sweden the number of calling for the elimination of the monarchy is gradually increasing.This is due mainly to those scandals, which is the royal family in recent years.While the population of the country is still comfortable with all the negative news, which began to appear with surprising regularity.It is possible that in the future, Regal House will undergo a new reform.
It is difficult to say anything definite, but the flexibility and pragmatism with which he lives, trying all the time to change the outdated tradition of the royal family are truly "lifeline" kind of Bernadotte.However, in spite of everything, wait for the "renaissance" of the Swedish monarchy is not necessary.
Although without their characters - a list headed by the royal family - this country will be different.After all, Sweden is simply impossible to imagine without monarchs, both with and without the blue-yellow flag, bright red houses and the character "Pippi Longstocking - Long Stocking".
