Carlos Gustavo from Sweden found the woman of his life in Sylvia Sommerlath, a German flight attendant he met at the 1972 Munich Olympics. , King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden, would not have died on September 15, 1973. After his death, Carl XVI Gustaf ascended the throne, enthroned four days later, who ruled as a single man until 19 June 1976, when he married Silvia Sommerlath, since then Queen Silvia of Sweden.

The King of Sweden is aware of long reigns, in fact the longest reign in the history of the Swedish monarchy, as well as enduring marriages. Perhaps for this reason, he was asked to make the documentary Kungen, made just in time for the 50th anniversary of his reign, about who was the secretary that made his relationship with Sylvia of Sweden last so long. The reaction was undoubtedly astounding, and not to all viewers.

“Private bathrooms,” King Carl Gustaf of Sweden replied with great confidence. “Of course, if you have multiple bathrooms,” added The Monarch, who lives with Sylvia from Sweden at Drottningholm Palace, where space is not an issue, but who knows that not everyone has the privilege of having more than one full bathroom. Of course, he also has a solution for this, commenting that if the house does not have two bathrooms, it is best to install one in the basement.

It is clear that the secret of the long marriage of the King of Sweden is not for everyone. Not all people who live as a couple have two full bathrooms, or maybe they do, but if they have children living with them, they’ll have to have an extra one, which is even less common. As for the basement, again, not everyone has a basement, and if they do… which of the couple wants to use the toilet in the basement every day?

Karin af Klintberg, head of Kungen, noted that the king gave “good advice on relationships, such as the importance of maintaining confidentiality, although not everyone can do this.” He also commented that he was not given access to all the rooms of Carlos Gustavo de Suesia, that he himself indicated that everything should not be shown because there must be some mystery. In addition, Karin af Klintberg noted that the King of Sweden surprised him with his naturalness and skill in creating a documentary that will be released on February 24, 2023.

What he disliked so much was that it was not easy for Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden to talk about his life for too long. What he did achieve was to make him remember the death of his father, Gustavo Adolfo from Sweden, who died in a plane crash on January 26, 1947, when his youngest son was not even 9 months old. In the documentary, he points out that his mother, Princess Sybil, did not tell him about what happened as a child, and he himself discovered this when he read about it years later.

What Carlos Gustavo of Sweden denied

There was a place in Kungen to ask King Carlos Gustavo with reference to the book The Unwilling Monarch, published in 2010, in which they revealed everything from his love of strip clubs to his relationship with singer Camilla Henemark. At the time, the monarch responded, implying that everything was true: “I haven’t read the book, but I have read some nasty headlines. I spoke to my family and to the queen. We turn the page and look forward to it, because as far as I understand, these cases happened a long time ago.” Karin af Klintberg asked him about these episodes, which the King of Sweden denied.
