Elected a Fellow as Joseph Francis Oscar; he had become Crown Prince in 1818 when his father succeeded to the throne as Charles XIV. He himself became King in 1844. Although he does not seem to have signed the Charter Book, he was definitely a Royal Fellow: JBO for 21 Dec 1826 has, 'Joseph Oscar, heir to the Crown of Sweden, having been duly proposed by the President was by immediate Ballot elected into the Society.'
