Measuring 8 x 10 inches, the photograph is an original royal presentation piece, also signed by the official royal photographer, further attesting to its authenticity and provenance.

As a signed royal portrait, this presentation photograph would have been reserved for high-ranking officials, dignitaries, or individuals of particular importance to the Swedish royal household, making its survival exceptionally rare.

Prince Bertil (1912–1997), Duke of Halland, was the third son of King Gustaf VI Adolf and Princess Margaret of Connaught, making him both a British and Swedish royal by lineage. As the uncle of King Carl XVI Gustaf, he played a crucial role in Sweden’s monarchy during the transitional period of the early 1970s. From 1973 to 1979, he served as heir presumptive to his nephew, King Carl XVI Gustaf, following the passing of King Gustaf VI Adolf. Due to the uncertain future of Sweden’s monarchy during this period, Prince Bertil was widely regarded as the pillar of continuity for the Swedish royal family, particularly because of his military service, statesmanship, and deep commitment to duty.

This authentic and one-of-a-kind royal artifact is a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of European royalty, Swedish monarchy memorabilia, and rare autographs. Given its impeccable provenance, historical importance, and pristine condition, this signed royal presentation photograph is an ideal centerpiece for museum display, historical archives, or a prestigious private collection. It stands as a testament to Prince Bertil’s enduring legacy within the Swedish royal family and his pivotal role in the monarchy’s modern evolution.
