Early life
edit_-_vapen_(Adelskalendern_1913).jpg)
Gustaf grew up as a nobleman in Djursholm outside Stockholm.[2] He belongs to the Lagerbielke family[3] and holds the title of 'friherre' prounounced as 'baron'.[2][4] The Swedish title 'friherre' corresponds to the English title of baron. Following his grandfather's passing in 2022, he became the head of the baronial branch of the family, no. 254. Gustaf is now the 11:th Baron Lagerbielke. As the eldest son, he is also the heir apparent to the headship of the comital (countly) branch of the Lagerbjelke family, no. 115.[5]
Lagerbielke's mother is Katarina Waldenström, an entrepreneur, and his father is Count Johan Lagerbjelke, the 8:th Count Lagerbjelke, a public speaker and negotiation expert. His grandfather Jan Waldenström played for IF Elfsborg. His stepfather is Swedish industrialist Per-Olof Söderberg, who bears no relation to former national team coach Tommy Söderberg.[citation needed]
