Topic: Prince Bertil


  
  Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Bertil of Sweden, Bertil Gustaf Oskar Carl Eugén (February 28, 1912 – January 5, 1997), Duke of Halland, was the third son of King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden and his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught.
However, his father lived long enough for Bertil's nephew Carl XVI Gustaf to achieve full age, and under the views of the new King, he was permitted to marry her, and did so on December 7, 1976.
When the Act of Succession was changed in 1980, right to the throne was restricted to Carl XVI Gustaf and his descendants; however, a special addendum was made for Bertil's case, so that he became third (and, after the birth of Princess Madeleine in 1982, fourth) in line to the throne.

Bertil’s grandfather was ageing, his father no longer young and there was a reasonable chance that both could die before Carl Gustav came of age, in which case Bertil would have to act as Regent.
Prince Bertil continued carrying out his duties, which were no doubt made even more taxing knowing that he could never wed the woman he most obviously loved.
Prince Bertil continued to act as the King’s deputy until the Act of Succession was changed in 1980, so that only Carl Gustav’s children were in line to the throne.
