by law the King has no political power and he voluntarily abstains from voting in general elections.[4] In line with traditions, the King holds the highest ranks in the three branches of the Swedish Armed Forces à la suite according to the Constitution.

Title

The King’s current title is simply His Majesty The King of Sweden. He also holds the personal title of Duke of Jämtland.

[edit] Style of reference

Carl XVI Gustaf is usually referred to as simply "the King" (Swedish: Kungen). In formal events and protocols, he is however entitled to "Your Majesty" (Swedish: Ers Majestät) or "His Majesty the King" (Swedish: Hans Majestät Konungen).

Your majesty:

Majesty is an English word derived ultimately from the Latin Maiestas, meaning Greatness.

After the fall of Rome, Majesty was used to describe a monarch of the very highest rank - indeed, it was generally applied to God.

The title was then also assumed by monarchs of great powers as an attempt at self-praise and despite a supposed lower royal style as a King or Queen, who would thus often be called "His or Her Royal Majesty." The style has come to be used by all the royal heads of Europe.
