Swedish State Property at the King’s Disposal: The Historical Development of the Legal Arrangements Concerning the Swedish Royal Palaces and the Financing of the Swedish Royal Family

Author

  • Martin Sunnqvist

Summary, in English

Since the Middle Ages, there have been Crown estates in Sweden that were to be used by the King. In 1809-10, an agreement was reached between King and Parliament about the financing of the expenses of the Royal Family and the Royal Household and of the right of the King and the Royal Family to use and govern the Royal Palaces. This agreement is still in force, although it has been amended as regards details over the last two centuries. In the article, the historical development and current status of the King’s right to have state property at his disposal is discussed.
