Prince Carl Bernadotte

Carl Gustaf Oscar Fredrik Christian, Prince Bernadotte (Stockholm, 10 January 1911 – Málaga, 27 June 2003), formerly known as Prince Carl, Duke of Östergötland, was the youngest child and only son of Prince Carl of Sweden and Princess Ingeborg of Denmark. To distinguish himself from his father, he was widely known as Mulle within the family. Apparently his mother wanted to name him Samuel, but this was not thought of as a proper royal name.

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or carl:

    A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Oh no, it wasn’t the aviators, it was beauty that killed the beast.
    James Creelman, screenwriter, Ruth Rose, screenwriter, Merian Cooper, and Ernest Schoedsack. Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong)
