Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, the sports-loving son of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, flew to Alicante, Spain, to see the round-the-world yacht race.
Although his own favoured sports are football, swimming and skiing, the 29-year-old prince joined the Swedish yachting team for the start of one of the world’s most challenging sailing competitions.
The only son of King and Queen of Sweden was clearly enjoying being at sea. As one of the patrons of the race he joined them aboard their vessel for the initial in-port race stage of the competition.
The eight participating yachts will spend nine months traversing the world’s oceans, with stop-offs to race in ports such as Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Galway, Gothenburg and Stockholm, HELLO! reports.
