Page "Prime Minister of Sweden" Paragraph 4

From 1917 parliamentarian principles were de facto established in Sweden and the Monarch ceased to exercise his constitutional authority to appoint the Prime Minister and the Councillors of State ( cabinet ministers ) at his own discretion.

From now on the Prime Minister depended on the support from Parliament, and in effect the Prime Minister came to exercise the Royal prerogatives.

However, the Swedish term used for the Government during this period, still was Kungl.

Maj: t, an abbreviation of Kunglig Majestät ().
