The training is part of the Crown Princess's continued engagement within the Swedish Armed Forces and her preparations for her future role as head of state. During the training, she holds the rank of cadet. Special officer training is aimed at individuals with an academic degree and provides a deeper understanding of military subjects and strategic issues.
In a statement from the Royal Court, the Crown Princess writes:
With great anticipation, I continue my military education today at the Swedish Defence University. Together with other cadets, I will delve into tactics, military science, and military strategy, among other things. My ambition now is to devote all my efforts to the officer training to represent Sweden and the Swedish Armed Forces in the best possible way in the future. I look forward to an interesting and rewarding study period with my new classmates!
