Prince Carl Philip of Sweden has started his own design company, Bernadotte & Kylberg, and will be launching a selection of scarves and blankets.

The only son of King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden has launched his own company alongside his business partner Oscar Kylberg, 11 years after they began working together and designing products for other companies, such as Skultuna, Georg Jensen and Åhléns.
