Dukes
The title of duke was reintroduced in Sweden in 1772 and since this time, Swedish princes have been created dukes of various provinces, although the titles are purely nominal.
The Dukes of Skåne are:
- Crown Prince Carl (from his birth in 1826 until he became King in 1859)
- Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf (from his birth in 1882 until he became King in 1950)
From his marriage, in 1905, King Gustaf VI Adolf had his summer residence at Sofiero Palace in Helsingborg. He and his family spent their summers there, and the cabinet meetings held there during the summer months forced the ministers to arrive by night train from Stockholm. He died at Helsingborg Hospital in 1973.
