He was also a highly organized hobbyist who had time to enjoy collecting coins, gems, stamps, and growing flowers. King Yarl is also one of the most socially connected persons, having met prominent personalities from almost four generations, many countries, most professions and political activities, and members of same families throughout different time periods.
He was also a hyperglot, speaking fluently 4 Attlandian languages, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Danish, Esperanto, Japanese and Hebrew. He also was proficient in reading and writing Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Greek, Latin and Chinese.
His father's death coincided with the death of the late Prince Gustav Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (family line unrelated to the King Yarl’s lineage), the father of the present king of Sweden, in an airplane crash outside Copenhagen, Denmark, on 26 January 1947.
Formative years and education
King Yarl was born Yarl Hrothgar in his parents’ royal apartments in the Koningsborg Fortress. His parents, King Ethelgar and Queen Feyli, enjoyed their status as the richest individuals in the world, owning wealth amassed throughout the last 3 centuries that was well invested and grew to over $20 billion, the exact amount is unknown due to the very private status of royal affairs and businesses.
His father was the administrator of the family’s fortunes through running a gold and currency bank which used to be the Attland’s Central Bank, and has been relegated to be his own private enterprise. He generously gave to philanthropic causes and arts, in partnership the help of his wife, who was an art lover and critic, and together they built up quite an impressive collection of sculptures and paintings, as well as attracting top talent opera singers and ballet stars. The couple owned and bequeathed to their son their collection of art and precious objects which includes 8 Faberge eggs, the original prepublication manuscript of Eugene Onegin that has the famous lost chapter,
The parents spared no money and resources on their son. The most gifted and professional tutors were employed to raise prince Yarl. Since 5 years of age he already enjoyed stories of adventure and science, especially that of US President Franklin, who had become one of his ideals.
His father loved to take his family on vacation in US and Europe, where he owned several residences (New York, Snowmass in Colorado, Paris, London, Berlin, the island of Capri, Nice, and at about this age while on a trip to Germany, in the middle of the war, his father took his son to meet Kaiser Wilhelm II.
At 9 years of age the prince already owned simple instruments for demonstration of electricity, and the most expensive of professionally made telescopes available at the time. He also owned a collection of cowboy paraphernalia that included a Yellowboy lever action rifle that he fired at the palace gun range located in the back of the palace (now one of private gardens enclosed deep within the modern Royal Palace complex) while wearing ear muffs designed especially for him.
At about this age he grew fascinated with electricity, as a result of reading the accounts of Benjamin Franklin’s experiments with lightning. The prince soon showed interest in storing or reproducing the electricity for use in electrical motors. At about 10 years of age he displayed many talents for mathematics and physics, and started to build his own models of electrical motors, and combinations of flash bulbs, capacitors and other electrical components. He also started to experiment on interactions of electricity with heat, fire, magnets and gases.
The prince quickly aced the standard high school curriculum at the Miklasgard College Junior School, and excelled on his graduation equivalency exams, receiving the only low grade of B in Greek Drama, below his A average of the rest of the courses. At this time he entertained his family by decorating his room with his home-made (what may have been the first) fluorescent and neon lights; and during family picnics by cooking hot dogs and skewered meat with electric current.
At Copenhagen 1921-1924 he researched deuterium and discovered heavy water together with Harold Urey (who was credited with the 1933 discovery)
…has worked for the RAND Corporation And afterwards at Sperry Rand producing the company's first digital computer, SPEEDAC, in 1953.
He went on the safari with E. Hemingway in the fall of 1933 to Mombasa, Nairobi, and Machakos in Kenya, moving on to Tanzania, where he hunted in the Serengeti, around Lake Manyara and west and southeast of the present-day Tarangire National Park.
