:
For the 17th century Carl Philip, see Duke Carl Philip. For other Swedish Princes with the name Carl, see Prince Carl of Sweden.
Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland (Carl Philip Edmund Bertil; born
13 May 1979) is the second child of three children and only son of
King Carl XVI Gustaf and
Queen Silvia of Sweden. Born Crown Prince of Sweden, he retained his title and first place in succession for seven months until
1 January 1980. On that date, he was stripped of both due to a change in the Act of Succession to introduce equal
primogeniture. Since then, Prince Carl Philip has been second in the line of succession, after his elder sister,
Crown Princess Victoria. However, in the
line of succession to the British throne, Prince Carl Philip is ahead of his elder sister due to the UK still operating male primogeniture.
He was christened at
The Royal Palace Church on
31 August 1979. His godparents are
Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland,
Prince Leopold of Bavaria,
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and
Princess Birgitta of Sweden.
