Funnily enough, the King and Queen of Sweden are in good company when it comes to (former) monarchs with 8 grandchildren:
Queen Margrethe has 8 grandchildren
Queen/ Princess Beatrix has 8 grandchildren
King Juan Carlos has 8 grandchildren
Queen Elizabeth has 8 grandchildren
The birth of Prince Julian means that there are now 11 persons in line of succession to the Swedish throne. This has not been the case since 1916-18. The line of succession is now as follows:
1. Victoria, Crown Princess, Duchess of Västergötland
2. Estelle, Duchess of Östergötland
3. Oscar, Duke of Skåne
4. Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland
5. Alexander, Duke of Södermanland
6. Gabriel, Duke of Dalarna
7. Julian, Duke Halland
8. Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland
9. Leonore, Duchess of Gotland
10. Nicolas, Duke of Ångermanland
11. Adrienne, Duchess of Blekinge
