I don't know about styles. But probably yes. They will discuss which members of the royal family who will perform official duties and as such get funded by the state. I think it is a good idea and it will strengthen the monarchy. The family has grown quick. Hopefully the style of HRH and dukedoms will be limited. Otherwise the royal style will loose Its exclusivity with Lets say 30-40 HRH in the future.
I doubt that there will be a law regulating titles and styles. That is best left to the Monarch. (I don't think that great grandchildren of the Monarch will be given Royal titles unless they are grandchildren of the Heir to the throne.) But it could be about funding.
Does that mean the new committee will also think about options how to style further descendants of the King through the junior lines? If so are any proposals they might look into known?
I agree, absurd system. Well the good news were published in mid May this year. Social democrats, the Greens, Liberals, Center, Moderats and Christian Democrats has agreed on the reform (which will also deal with number of flag days connected to the royal family, status and funding of a growing royal family etc). A comittee will be formed after the elections. Hopefully the bill can pass next year. I read about it in Svenska dagbladet.
So now a new law is prepaerd which is likely to pass since it has 6 parties behind the proposal. The idea this time is that citizens can nominate people they think deserve orders so it will not be the same system as before 1975.
I haven't heard or read that this could happen, but I really hope so. It is ridiculous that the Sultan of Brunei and Nicolae Ceausescu were given The Order of the Seraphim, but e.g. Ingvar Kamperad (IKEA) Tomas Tranströmer (Nobel Prize laureate), Fredrik Reinfeldt (PM for eight years) were banned from receiving a Swedish Order.
