Even if they married, hypothetically, and she came to GB, wouldn't he still be entitled to a position in Sweden? Or would she be forced to give up her title as Princess of Sweden on marriage? I mean Sweden has equal primogeniture, allowing for the husband to take his wife's rank, which usually doesn't happen. Daniel became a Prince of Sweden through his marriage. Would Harry be entitled to be a Prince of Sweden, or only if they married and remained in Sweden and not in the UK?
That's actually not what equal primogeniture means. Equal primogeniture means the eldest child inherits, regardless of gender. It doesn't mean that husbands take their rank from their wives, as that has nothing to do with inheritance. The situation with Daniel was very new, because Sweden hasn't had a female heir to the throne in centuries. I think the last Swedish queen regnant was in the early 1700s. So everything they've done and will do, once Victoria ascends the throne, will be very groundbreaking.
