A 19-year-old man has admitted to the theft of over 850,000 kronor ($120,675) worth of royal jewels that were taken from Princess Christina’s apartment near the Royal Palace over the past two months.
The 19-year-old, who came to Sweden as a refugee in 2010, had lived with the royal couple, and Magnuson had acted as his mentor.
The two became close friends, with Princess Christina even referring to the man as “the child of the house”.
It is alleged that he stole the key to the safe back in April
and planned to blame the housecleaner for the thefts.
Charges of aggravated theft have been filed against the man.
The 19-year-old has given descriptions to police of the two men who bought the jewels, but neither has been identified as yet.
