The king’s inauguration speech begins in a flashback to the 27-year-old Carl XVI Gustaf who swore the royal oath 50 years ago and then spoke about his work as king today and thanked the people.
– I want to express a big and warm thank you to you and all the Swedes who have shown so much support over the years, during the 18,262 days that have passed since then.
