Oh, that's so awesome!! I would love to know more about the Swedish family and I definitely think they have an interesting story to tell. Daniel was a commoner and she married him for love, and then Madeleine moved away from her country for love, and the whole Sofia and her past.... definitely lots of juicy details to tell!

Not to mention all Carl Gustaf's trysts and affairs, and switching to firstborn primogeniture period rather than first born male.

And the Kings strange upbringing he wasn’t told his father died until he was about 7?

Kind of bummed they're only starting with CG's childhood. I would love to have a glimpse into Gustaf Adolf and Margaret's marriage.

I know what you mean - I think Margaret's death, in particular, reverberated through her children's lives.  Edmund (CG's dad) maybe would have avoided his flirtation with Nazism if his mother had been alive ... perhaps the younger brothers would not have made unsuitable marriages (and/or, perhaps Margaret could have persuaded the old king to accept them ...) 

But there is still plenty of drama to be wrung even if they start the story in 1946 (CG's birth year).  Edmund's sudden death; Bertil's love affair & delayed marriage, all the romances of CG's sisters, and of course the UGLY mess of CP and Sssssss.   As long as they don't whitewash her, I'm good!

Wow!
That's super interesting and I would love to see such a series but I'm afraid that many shady aspects of his live will remaine unexplored.
I'm very curious to see which path the production will follow!

Sadly, I'm sure they will.

This is pure speculation leading to a question, but as Netflix is a US based company and not  UK based so not bound by the British state, I feel that The Crown has been given more freedom to explore and be critical of various events explored in the series.
If the Swedish version is funded/organised by a Swedish television channel, would they feel more inclined to whitewash or present controversial aspects in more of a positive light?

I've no idea how either series worked behind the scenes so I'm appreciative of any information

This is simply my opinion, but considering SVT is publicly funded and is Sweden's main news channel, I would assume there will be no portrayal of anything outside the normal royal parameters of what we already know.  After all, SVT enjoys quite a monopoly on all things related to the SRF, christenings, Året med Kungafamiljen, private interviews/shows like the RF jewelry, etc.  I doubt that there will be any burning of any bridges with the family.
