Honorary members

Since 1810, the Academy has elected members of the Swedish royal family as honorary members. Following a change in the Academy’s rules in 2019, “members of the Royal family and other particularly deserving persons may be elected honorary members of the Academy”. Currently, H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria and Peter Wallenberg Jr. are honorary members of the Academy. They were elected in 2008 and 2022, respectively.
