Guests:

Silla Bakalus, B.T. journalist

Lars Hovbakke Sørensen, Associate Professor at Absalon University College

Hosted by Daniel Rosney

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden

Europe's longest-reigning monarch has seen the world change over the course of his reign.

A constant figure since 1973, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden lost his remaining political power within a year or so of becoming monarch.

Has he been successful in remaining relevant as a ceremonial figure? We look at the data over 30 years to see what shape the Swedish royal family is in now.

Plus we find out what it was like filming a documentary for two years with the king.
