Instead of cutting the symbolic ribbon, the little prince ran across the ribbon. He then tried the different wooden games, including the famous slide, to the applause and encouragement of his parents. Prince Julian is 7th in the line of succession to the Swedish throne. The wooden games have a bird theme. The large eagle-shaped slide received a first name chosen by the little prince. The slide was named Charlie Örn by Julian.
The playground was built in Naturum Getterön, in Halland County. It is thus the first physical place which connects the Prince of Sweden to his ducal territory. All members of the royal family receive a ducal title from the sovereign at birth. The title’s name is a tribute to the country’s ancient provinces. The old provinces disappeared in the 17th century and are today replaced by counties, but they are still used informally by the population and are anchored in culture. The former province of Halland corresponds almost to the borders of the current county of Halland, in the southwest of the country.
