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:
“The Prince but studies his companions
Like a strange tongue, wherein, to gain the language,
‘Tis needful that the most immodest word
Be looked upon and learnt, which once attained,
Your highness knows, comes to no further use
But to be known and hated.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The millere was a stout carl for the nones;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
