The King with Two Faces

The Playboy

A king cannot live like a playboy. He must secure the succession to the throne and form a family to look after. But what happens when the marriage has the same problems as everyone else's?

The Media

The king is completely dependent on the media, while at the same time he dislikes them. What are the royal family's media strategies and what happens when journalists don't treat them the way they want?

The Head of State

The king is Sweden's head of state but does not have to report what he owns and how he uses the appanage. How rich is the king, what power does he have and what are his privileges like?

The Monarch
