Actually, the Swedish Royals ARE in line for the British throne, but it is so far removed not to even be calculated.
The major line of descent comes through Queen Victoria's third son, Arthur, Duke of Connaught. His daughter Margaret was married to a Swedish Crown Prince (she died before he became King) and through her her descendants are in line to the British Throne. The current King of Sweden is the great-great- grandson of Queen Victoria. through this line, his father being a great-grandson of Victoria.
It is also through Margaret of Connaught that the Danish Royal Family is linked to the British Royal House.
The King's mother was also descended from Queen Victoria through her youngest son, Leopold, Duke of Albany. The Swedish King's mother was a granddaughter of Leopold.
