En mycket uppskattad och omtyckt plikttrogen monark som både kunde föra sig värdigt med dignitet samtidigt som han vanligtvis visade en avspänd och avslappnad personlighet.
Ja, och både hans första hustru (Marghareta - vår kungs farmor) och hans andra Louise kom ju därifrån, så de övade säkert så han skulle behärska god "drottningens engelska">. Han var kung när jag föddes 1964..
Unsure since our current king is related to the duke of edinbourgh i belive he is his uncle since the swedish king´s mother were sister too the duke of edinbourgh
The reason is because protocol only allows for one state visit per reign. So most crowned heads in Europe with the exception of The Netherlands and Belgium have visited already and won't get another visit until there's a new King or Queen.
@@roostersstuff1765 The Swedish king's mother was NOT the sister of Prince Philip. Prince Philip's aunt, his mother's sister, was the second wife of King Gustav Adolf, seen in this video. That made Queen Louise the step grandmother of the current king of Sweden. The current king's biological grandmother was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and Philip was also descended from Victoria. So, the king of Sweden and Philip are cousins through their descent from Victoria. Both were great-great grandsons of Victoria.
Absolutely! Queen Louis of Sweden, née Battenberg (Mountbatten) was sister of princess Alice of Battenberg, the mother of Phillip Duke of Edimburgh, and her mother was the princess Alice of Hesse-Darmstadt a grand-daugther of Queen Victoria . The first wife of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden was Margarita of Connaught, a grand-daugther of Queen Victoria.
The Queen was a very modest lady who would visit London on her own, staying at the Hyde Park Hotel. She travelled around by bus, with a card in her handbag, with, written on it in case of accident, I am the Queen of Sweden. Her family said that anyone finding that would take her to a mental hospital.
Yes well Gustav the sixth and Louise Mountbatten were married until their death ofcourse Louise Mountbatten and the duke of edinbourgh are siblings they share the same mother
@@roostersstuff1765 Queen Louise was Prince Philip's aunt - her siblings were Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Princess Andrew of Greece (Philip's mother) and the Marquess of Milford Haven.
You don't seem to understand what inbreeding is. If you really want to see inbreeding, look at the family tree of the Spanish Habsburgs. Their royal line didn't end well.
He probably learned from an English tutor as a child. He also would have gotten a lot of practice speaking English being married to two wives from England.
Interesting to see Princess Marie Louise at Covent Garden. Slightly unusual member of the Royal Family. A grand daughter of Queen Victoria, who once in a telegram to her parents described her as very ugly. She left her homosexual German prince husband and for some time was so short of money that she lived in a club for ladies, doing her own cooking on a paraffin stove.
Förra kungen var ju riktigt bra på engelska
Absolut! han pratade mycket bättre engelska än många svenskar gör idag.
En mycket uppskattad och omtyckt plikttrogen monark som både kunde föra sig värdigt med dignitet samtidigt som han vanligtvis visade en avspänd och avslappnad personlighet.
Han spenderade mycken tid i England under ungdomen.
Hans första fru var brittiska och hans andra fru tysk men uppväxt i England. Kanske därför han pratade bra engelska.
Ja, och både hans första hustru (Marghareta - vår kungs farmor) och hans andra Louise kom ju därifrån, så de övade säkert så han skulle behärska god "drottningens engelska">. Han var kung när jag föddes 1964..
Outstanding ! I wonder why we don't get atate visits like that anymore.
BucyKalman no se

@@roostersstuff1765 He is not. But related through Queen Victoria.

Louise, not Louis
The king spoke perfect English..no accent.
As does Queen Margrethe of Denmark. All descendants of Queen Victoria.
at that time, after the war, Sweden was very pro-british... The king before was propably better at german, as he was very pro-german...
As we were teached english in swedish schools in the 70s. Queens english.

@@antiwacks4017 By the looks of things I would assume that you weren't in school in the 70's then.
Some scenes are skipped.
These people are all interrelated--cousins, aunts and uncles. Unbelievable inbreeding, yet endearing family ties.

RoostersStuff Louise was Philips aunt! Louise is sister to Philip’s mother.

Doesn't he sound english?
