The youngest child and second daughter of their majesties King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia, Madeleine was born June 10, 1982, and was third in line of succession to the Bernadote throne of Sweden.

However, since then she has been down to the fourth place after her sister, Crown Princess Vitoria, gave birth to daughter Estelle in February 2012.

She has an elder brother, Carl Philip, but he does not succeed his father due to the right of Swedish succession, since this generation follows the law of primogeniture.

India will be represented by Ambassador Balkrishna Shetty and Vasundara Shetty.

The 1,200 guests in the church will include kings and queens, most still reigning. The wedding is set to attract one of largest gatherings of kings and queens seen in Europe for years, a guest list for Friday's pre-wedding concert shows.
