    Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine are the daughters of King Carl XVI Gustaf. Victoria was born 14 July 1977, and Madeline was 10 June 1982.

    King Carl has a son,Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland (born 13 May 1979).

    Carl is a grandparent, now. His children are married, with families of their own.

    The King has sisters:

    Princess Birgitta

        Princess Désirée    Princess Christina

        Princess Margaretha

        There was also Marianne Bernadotte --princess through marriage to the King's paternal uncle Sigvard Bernadotte (1907–2002), and, by marriage  to  Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland, HRH Princess Lilian of Sweden.

    In what sense?  In Swedish there's a distinction between "the royal family" and "the kingly family."  The former would in 1990 have included the present king's daughters Victoria and Madeleine, his sister Birgitta, and his aunt by marriage, Lilian.  They were/are styled HRH.  The latter included his sisters Margaretha, Désirée and Christina.  They are princesses but are not styled HRH.
