King Gustaf has sat on the Swedish throne since 1973 when he succeeded his late father, Gustaf VI Adolf.
He married the German-born Silvia Sommerlath, now 75, in 1976 after meeting her when she was a hostess at the 1972 Olympics.
In 1980, a law was passed which abolished male preference in the line of succession.
That means Crown Princess Victoria, rather than her eldest brother Carl Philip, is the heir apparent to the throne.
She is expected to become Sweden’s first female monarch since the 18th century.
In 2019, the king passed a law to remove the children of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine from the Royal Household.

The monarch made the controversial decision, following the launch of an investigation by the Swedish parliament – the Riksdag – into how the £12million annual budget of the generally popular royal family could be kept under control.
The five youngsters stripped of their royal titles, aged between one and five, are the offspring of the King’s two younger children, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine, and their respective partners.
As a result, they are not directly in line to the throne and Princess Madeleine – mother to Princess Leonore; Prince Nicolas, and Princess Adrienne – said they would now have ‘a greater opportunity to shape their own lives’.
Also affected are Prince Alexander, and Prince Gabriel, who are the children of Prince Carl Philip and his wife Sofia Hellqvist.
