Prince Carl Philip finds it incredibly upsetting when dyslexia is mistaken for stupidity.
Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip
The Swedish prince, the Duke of Värmland, is expecting his first child with wife Princess Sofia next year.
And as he prepares to welcome his son or daughter into the world, Carl has spoken about his battle to break down the stigmas surrounding learning disorders.
The 36-year-old royal has been name a patron of Sweden's Dyslexia Association and has been very vocal about his own battle with dyslexia.
The association's Bengt-Erik Johansson said: "Prince Carl Philip himself has dyslexia. He told me how important it is that children with reading and writing difficulties shouldn't feel left out at school. He said that nothing makes him sadder than when someone's considered stupid because of their dyslexia."
The prince's involvement with the association is helping to further its work, and is showing that having dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of.
Bengt-Erik added during an interview with Sveriges Radio: "This is huge for students in schools, not to feel alone out there. When even our prince has dyslexia, perhaps they won't feel so isolated in the classroom and will go on to make progress at school."
Speaking previously about his own struggles with the disorder, the prince told Sweden's TV4: "I got red marks constantly. To read out loud before the whole class was a real pain."
