bio: |
  Born 22 April 1906, Gustaf Adolf Oscar Fredrik Arthur Edmund was the eldest son of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf (later Gustaf VI Adolf) and Princess Margaret of Connaught. He carried the title Hereditary Prince and stood poised to inherit the throne after his father. On 26 January 1947, his plane went down at Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen, killing him instantly. He predeceased both his grandfather and his father, who ascended three years later. His son became Carl XVI Gustaf, the current King of Sweden.
