Prince Carl of Sweden and Norway, Oscar Carl Vilhelm, Duke of Västergötland (February 27, 1861 – October 24, 1951), was the third son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway.
Prince Carl was once considered a candidate to the Norwegian crown during Norway's fight for independence from Sweden in 1905. To elect a prince from Sweden was considered to be a less radical way out of the union, and hence a more peaceful approach. However, King Oscar II of Sweden never approved on this, as he saw the whole "riot" as a betrayal against his rights as King of Norway

Hey, I'm trying to do a report on Prince Carl (the father) any information would be extremely helpful! thanks: Kayla
Help Please
Hi, my name is Kayla, I am a student at Escondido Charter High School and I am trying to do a report on Prince Carl, and I cant seem to find enough information on him and his work with the Swedish Red Cross. I know that he was the president and thats about it. But did you know that he was a laureate for the Nobel Peace Prize?? Well, I would really appreciate it if you could give me some more information on him it would be great help.
Thank you,
Kayla Marie
Which Prince Carl are you talking about? Obviously not the present Prince Carl-Philip.

Ahhh thank you for the info, didn't know a royal had been nominated in the past.
You're welcome, in fact, Prince Carl wasn't the only Royal to be nominated.
Royal nominees:
Tsar Nikolai II of Russia (1901), Prince Carl of Sweden (1919), King Albert I of
Belgium (1922), Emperor Haile Selassi of Ethiopia (1938), King Paul I of Greece
(1950), Princess (and later Queen) Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1951)

Nikolai II, peace prize? I never expected that.
Thank you again.
I would say the internet, and whichever books about him, which you can find in your local library, are your best friends in this case.

"In 1897, Prince Carl married Ingeborg of Denmark. (She was the daughter of King Frederick VIII of Denmark and Queen Louise, who was the daughter of King Karl XV of Sweden). Prince Carl and Ingeborg had four children: Margaretha of Denmark, Märtha of Norway, Astrid of Belgium and Carl.
The picture was taken at the home of Prince Carl and Princess Ingeborg, 1929. The newly-engaged Crown Prince Couple Olav and Märtha of Norway can be seen to the right of the picture.
