About Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden
Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland (Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée; born 14 July 1977) is the heir apparent to the Swedish throne as the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden. If she ascends to the throne as expected, she will be Sweden's fourth queen regnant (after Margaret, Christina and Ulrika Eleonora) and the first since 1720. Her inheritance is secured by Sweden's 1980 Act of Succession, the first law in Western Europe to adopt royal absolute primogeniture. == Early life == Princess Victoria was born on 14 July 1977 at 21:45 CET at the Karolinska Hospital in Solna, Stockholm County, the first child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. She was baptised by Archbishop Olof Sundby at the Royal Palace Church on 27 September 1977. At this time she was also conferred with the additional names of Ingrid, Alice, and Désirée, after relatives on both sides of the family. Princess Victoria was heir presumptive until 13 May 1979, when her younger brother Prince Carl Philip was born. He was the Crown Prince and heir apparent for about seven months until 1 January 1980, when an amendment to the 1810 Act of Succession came into effect. It replaced the previous system of agnatic primogeniture (male-only inheritance) with absolute primogeniture (oldest child inherits regardless of sex). It established Victoria as the Crown Princess of Sweden, and she was also made the Duchess of Västergötland.
