Who knew that it would be so much pure childish fun if someone with decent Photoshop skills put a collection of silly hats on Carolus XVI Gustavus? There's even rumoured to be an unedited picture there, but I certainly can't identify it.
Advertisment
The unedited picture is the one with the Viking helmet in Saudi Arabia - his hosts kinda expected that, and he didn't want to disappoint them.
Hahaha some of the soldiers' hats aren't much better.
It's the scout cap. Btw, Swedish popular support for monarchy is declining, according to two recent surveys - from 85% to 56% in ten years one of them states. 48% thinks monarchy is incompatible with democracy. (Which leaves
8% prefering monarchy to democracy...) Importance of royal head wear for (lack of) popular support is undetermined.
