King Carl XVI Gustaf, the King of Sweden, has criticised the country's Covid-19 approach in the royal family's annual TV review of the year.

"The people of Sweden have suffered tremendously in difficult conditions. I think we have failed. We have a large number who have died, and that is terrible," he told the state broadcaster SVT.
