I visited the Royal Cemetery at Hagaparken. Located on the Karlsborg island. This is the grave of Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland and his wife Princess Lillian. They lived together without being married for a few decades because, well, some sort of Royal succession thing. But after the death of Gustaf VI Adolf in 1973, the new and current king Carl XVI Gustaf married his Silvia, the current Queen, and he told Bertil to go ahead and marry Lillian, after Bertil asked if he could. The Prince was quite the character. As a teenager, without a driving licence, he was involved in a car accident where one of his friends died. For me and the rest of the people, he was known as the Motor Prince because of his big interests in cars and motorcycles.
