Top Swedish bodyguards are facing further embarrassment after media revealed their fitness tracking data inadvertently exposed the locations of the country’s most powerful figures.

Swedish security service members, who have already been accused of revealing details about the Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson through a workout app, also let slip the location of the king and queen’s secret vacations, including a private island in the Seychelles and the mountain village of Storlien in northern Sweden.

Data about the royal family’s latest trip to a luxury villa on the French Riviera, which took place in June, is so detailed that they could have been mapped in real-time, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported.

Several hotels contacted by the newspaper confirmed that the Swedish royal couple stayed with them, but pointed out they were not allowed to say anything.

The Swedish bodyguards uploaded more than 1,400 workouts to the fitness app Strava from 2015 through July 2025. Approximately 70 of the files concerned the Swedish royal family — King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia — revealing classified information that could have put senior figures at risk.

Information uploaded to Strava was also linked to the former prime ministers Magdalena Andersson and Stefan Löfven, former foreign minister Ann Linde and Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the government-supporting right-wing populist Sweden Democrats party.
