"Sweden's king said his country had failed in its handling of COVID-19, in a sharp criticism of a pandemic policy partly blamed for a high death toll among the elderly.
Carl XVI Gustaf, whose son and daughter-in-law tested positive last month, used an annual royal Christmas TV special to highlight the growing impact of the virus, in a rare intervention from a monarch whose duties are largely ceremonial.
Sweden has stood out from most countries by shunning lockdowns and face masks, leaving schools, restaurants and businesses largely open and relying mainly on voluntary social distancing and hygiene recommendations to slow the spread."

"Sweden has registered more than 7,800 deaths, a much higher per capita rate than its Nordic neighbours but lower than in Britain, Italy, Spain or France, which have all opted for lockdowns.

“We” have failed? I smell some real Swedish BS. How many ways can I call bullsh** King Carl!
Why use his bully pulpit to pronounce negatively over his nation’s leaders? Was KC actually a part of the solution for the entire year, or was he in seats calling foul on all the hockey referees? Horse hockey!
Not seen this article, I did a bit more research and Sweden hasn’t even faired that badly when viewing world-wide stats.
Nord News (catchy name) has a good article: https://nord.news/2020/12/20/even-if-the-king-thinks-so-did-sweden-really-fail-in-the-coronavirus-response/

Has the world heard enough from people with a microphone in their face? Isn’t time the royalty and politicians join hands with the average Joe and Mary who are actively fighting to keep their people alive with super positivity and strength that only the Almighty God can bestow?
Bolster the positivity by rewarding those who dedicate their lives to others who are surviving or ultimately perishing in the disaster. You don’t kick a fire fighter for missing part of the fire with his hose! Support your people and make your birthright a crown of glory instead of a sore on Swedish asses.

Even if the king thinks so, did Sweden really "fail" in the coronavirus response? – Nord News
The Swedish royal family addressed the country's coronavirus measures under one annual TV conference. What shall we do with the king's words? Sweden,
