Count Carl Douglas

Carl Ludvig Douglas was a Swedish diplomat. Douglas began his career at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 1933, quickly rising through the ranks. He served in various diplomatic missions, including in Paris, Helsinki, Oslo, Madrid, and Washington, D.C., before becoming a director in 1946. In 1960, he was appointed ambassador to Rio de Janeiro. Tragically, Douglas died in a car accident in Brazil in January 1961, just six months after his father's similar death in Sweden.
