Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on April 30, 1946)

Happy Birthday, King Carl Gustaf XVI! Fifty years on the throne and still reigning supreme—clearly your royal charm ages better than Swedish cheese. From expertly navigating state dinners to commanding Sweden's Armed Forces with unmatched poise, you've proven that crowns never go out of style.

Whether gracefully cutting ribbons or proudly representing Sweden abroad, you’ve shown us all how royalty is done—with dignity and a dash of humor. May this birthday bring as much joy as your legendary public appearances have brought smiles across generations. Here's wishing Your Majesty another year filled with laughter—and perhaps fewer ceremonial cannons firing unexpectedly!
