Carl Philip's calendar lately has filled up with activities, and he's popping up everywhere including this inauguration of an important relative. Folke Bernadotte (1895-1948) is most remembered for two events in his diplomatic career: during WWII, he lead the negotiation of the release of 30,000+ prisoners from German concentration camps, and after the war, Bernadotte was chosen to be the UN Security Council mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflicts; however, during one of his UN missions in Jerusalem he was assassinated by an militant Zionist group.
