Semesters and state visits, trips domestic and abroad. The information in the app is so detailed that the royal family and the bodyguards who are supposed to protect them can be mapped, sometimes even in real time, writes DN.

At least five of the seven bodyguards the newspaper has reviewed have protected either the royal couple or Crown Princess Victoria.

The leaks contain over 70 training activities that concern the Swedish royal family and places they own or where they usually are. They also contain information and potential protection objects.

This is worrying. Especially when it comes to the places they often return to. Such patterns of life are of interest to a potential attacker, says security expert Johan Wiktorin to DN.
