On Sunday, it was revealed that his name is Prince Julian Herbert Folke of Sweden, Duke of Halland, in a cabinet meeting held by King Carl XVI Gustaf, in keeping with royal tradition.

His middle name Folke is one of the King’s middle names, while Halland is a former duchy of Prince Bertil, who was Carl XVI Gustaf's uncle.
Young Prince Julian has already made history as he is the first to be born without a HRH title since King Carl XVI Gustaf made changes to the royal house.
In 2019, the Swedish monarch announced that the children of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, and the children of Princess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neill will no longer be members of the royal house, and therefore will not be expected to perform duties incumbent on the head of state.
