64-yr-old Swede King 'had insatiable appetite for sex parties, strip clubs'

London, Nov 12 (ANI): 'The Reluctant Monarch', a shocking expose of Swedish nation's monarch King Carl Gustav, has taken the media world by storm.

"We were terribly tense before the book was published. But the book has got through. It has created a media Third World War," The Independent quoted co-author Thomas Sjoberg as saying.

In Sjoberg's book, 64-year-old Carl XVI, Gustav is exposed as a frequent participant at wild sex parties hosted in a Stockholm club by Mille Markovic, a man linked to Mafia.

The book talks of Sapo, Sweden's secret police, which concealed the king's activities, kept guard outside his sex clubs and pressurised women to hand over photos and compromising material that would expose him.

'The Reluctant Monarch' also alleges that Tove Meyer, Sjoberg's co-author, was sacked from her job because she was working on the book - a claim that has been defended by her employers, who said she did not have her contract renewed because she was working on a second, unsanctioned project.

Sjoberg's book cites several of the women who allegedly attended the king's sex parties. They describe how elaborate dinners were rounded off with sessions in a communal whirlpool when scantily clad women would "throw off their clothes and sit on the men's laps."

It is claimed that ordinary "suburban girls" were brought to the club where king is said to have "led them on with promises" in order to have sex with them.

On one occasion, the king - who happens to be the Queen's third cousin - is said to have had sex with two women at the same time. It was "girls à la carte for the king gang", the authors conclude.

The book also details the king's apparently lengthy affair with Camilla Henemark, a Swedish singer and model. Sjoberg claims that Queen Silvia, Carl Gustav's wife knew about the affair but never retaliated because the king had fallen in love "like a teenager".

On the other side, the king has given credibility to the book instead of denying all the allegations, saying, "I have spoken to my family and the queen and we chose to turn the page and move forward - because, as I understand, these are things that happened a long time ago," in a statement. (ANI)
