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.
