Ryal faimily

Until 1975 the sons o the Swedish monarch received a miniature version o the order's insignia at thair baptism. As pairt o a reform on orders an decorations, a law wis passed in 1974 restricting the conferral o orders tae foreign ceetizens. This law wis revised in 1995 tae allou members of the Swedish Ryal Faimily tae receive the order. That year, on her 18t birthday, Croun Princess Victoria became a member o the order. Prince Carl Philip an Princess Madeline likwise became a knight/member o the order on thair 18t birthday. The tradeetion o conferring the order upon the baptism o a member o the ryal faimily returned when Princess Estelle, the first-born o Croun Princess Victoria an Prince Daniel, received a miniature Grand Cross o the Order's insignia frae her grandfaither, King Carl Gustaf at her baptism on 22 Mey 2012. Princess Leonore, dochter o Princess Madeleine an Christopher O'Neill, wis an aw conferred the order at her baptism on 8 Juin 2008.
