Early Life and Education

Crown Princess Victoria, Duchess of Västergötland, was born Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée on July 14, 1977, in Solna, Sweden. Her birth took place at Karolinska Hospital. She is the eldest child of Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf, and she has two younger siblings, Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland, and Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland. Victoria was baptized in September 1977 at the Royal Palace Church. Archbishop Olof Sundby performed the baptism, and Victoria was conferred with three additional names, Alice, Ingrid, and Désirée, at this time. In 1980, an amendment to the 1810 Act of Succession went into effect, eliminating the previous system that allowed for male-only inheritance. This new system, absolute primogeniture, made it so that the oldest child inherits the throne regardless of gender. This made Victoria the Crown Princess of Sweden, and she was named the Duchess of Västergötland. The family originally lived at Stockholm Palace in a private apartment, but in 1981, they moved to Drottningholm Palace. Victoria was confirmed at Räpplinge church during the summer of 1992.

Victoria studied natural and social sciences at Enskilda Gymnasium, graduating in 1996. She then spent a year in France, attending the Catholic University of the West, and in 1998, she moved to the U.S. to attend Yale University. In 1999, Victoria interned at the Swedish Embassy in Washington, D.C., and in 2001, she completed a study program at Sweden's Government Offices. In 2003, she took part in a study and intern program in forestry and agriculture, and she completed basic soldier training at the Swedish Armed Forces International Centre. From 2006 to 2007, Victoria attended the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' Diplomat Program, and in 2009, she earned a bachelor's degree in peace and conflict studies from Sweden's Uppsala University. In 2024, she began officer training at the Swedish Defence University.

Public Life

On July 14, 1995, her 18th birthday, Victoria had her declaration of majority at the Royal Palace of Stockholm's Hall of State. After she turned 18, she became eligible to serve as the Head of State when her father is out of the country. In October 2004, Victoria received her own household, which is headed by the Marshal of the Court. Victoria has an office at the Royal Palace of Stockholm, and she attends the Council of State and the Advisory Council on Foreign Affairs. In 2001, she embarked on her first major official solo visit, traveling to Japan to promote Swedish tourism, food, design, music, and environmental sustainability, and she visited the U.S., where she participated in Nobel centenary celebrations on the West Coast. Over the next few years, Victoria went on official visits to Spain, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kosovo, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Turkey, China, Brazil, and France (where she was honored with the Prix d'Excellence 2006). Victoria and her husband, Daniel, visited Colombia and Peru in 2015 and New Zealand and Australia in 2023.
