that the Royal Court of Sweden released on Monday, the Swedish sovereign announced that he was effectively removing five of his grandchildren from the category of "royals," as well as the current 10-person line of succession to the Swedish throne.
To be clear, the King hasn't banished them entirely: "Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, Princess Leonore, Prince Nicolas and Princess Adrienne will continue to be members of the Royal Family," he said in the statement.

The king has also benevolently permitted his grandchildren to maintain their titles, meaning they can still go by the names of the Duke of Södermanland , the Duke of Dalarna , the Duchess of Gotland , the Duke of Ångermanland , and the Duchess of Blekinge . As you may have noticed, each can also still go by "prince" or "princess," but only in a "personal" capacity; the title won't extend to any future children or spouses.
There's no drama within the family however. Princess Madeliene, mother to the three of the affected young royals, welcomed the news on Instagram. "This change has been planned for a long time," she wrote. "Chris and I think it’s good that our children are now getting a greater opportunity to shape their own lives as private individuals in the future."
The King did make two exceptions: Seven-year-old Princess Estelle and three-year-old Prince Oscar—whose mother is Crown Princess Victoria, heir to the throne—will stay on as members of the Royal House. As for the rest, well, they can take a page out of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway's book, and settle for
