About Lennart Bernadotte
- Lennart Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg (born Prince Lennart, Duke of Småland; 8 May 1909 – 21 December 2004) was a Swedish-German landscaper, filmmaker and photographer.
- He was a grandson of King Gustaf V of Sweden. Bernadotte was born at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, to Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (Gustaf V's second son) and Wilhelms's wife, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia (he was her first husband).
- At birth Bernadotte was a Swedish prince and was titled Duke of Småland.
- In 1932, he married Karin Nissvandt, a morganatic marriage, and thereafter ceased to be referred to by his royal titles.
- Thus, he became the first Swede in history to have his royal titles removed due to his own actions and was called Mr.
- Bernadotte as a result.
- Nineteen years after he lost his Swedish royal titles, he was given titles of nobility in Luxembourg. He published two memoirs: Käre prins, godnatt (1977) and Mainau min medelpunkt (1995).
