This topic is extremely personal for Princess Victoria. A documentary about King Carl Gustaf is coming out in Sweden.

For the occasion of his 50th anniversary on the throne, the film Kungen (in English, King) will give insight into his work and the life of the Royal Family.

It features several interviews with the royals, including an emotional conversation with Princess Victoria, in which she even tears up.

The film's director Karin af Klintberg explained to Expressen. She spoke with Victoria about the succession to the throne and, consequently, the death of her parents.

"Both she and I sat there with tears in our eyes," the director said. "It is never easy to think about the death of one’s parents and you don't want to. It is difficult to think about."
