As this is Usenet then nothing is ever going to qualify as "all"

it's something like "all of Queen Victoria's children are dead").

Until the demise of Carl XVI Gustaf, at which point there will be at
least two alive (unless something bad happens in the mean time).



There seems to be some error or misunderstanding :-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert,_Prince_Consort#Issue indicates
that the last two surviving issue of Victoria and Albert died during
WWII, one near the beginning and one near the end. I wonder how many
here are old enough to have been able to have met either lady?


Yes definitely something going on in the generations here - Carl Gustaf
is a g-g-grandchild of Victoria and Albert.

At a glance, looks like their last grandchild was Princess Alice of
Athlone, who died in 1981 aged nearly 100.

Isn't the point that when the King of Sweden dies, the heir apparent is
his daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, who is likely to become, drum
roll please, Queen Victoria.

She currently has two (alive) children hence satisfying the statements
above assuming no assumed caveats such as which particular Queen
Victoria, and of which country, we are talking about...
