By definition, dyslexia is "a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities." Per the International Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is common, affecting up to 15% to 20% of the population. While the learning condition can make mastery of reading, spelling, and processing challenging, success isn't impossible, as countless people have proved. Some of the world's most famous and talented people have coped with dyslexia, including musician and actress Cher, journalist Anderson Cooper, world-renowned physicist Albert Einstein, and artist Pablo Picasso. Several members of the Swedish royal family have also learned to live with dyslexia. 

King Carl XVI Gustaf has dyslexia, as does his son Prince Carl Philip. The handsome prince spoke to Sveriges Radio about the learning disability, telling Sweden's Dyslexia Association chairman, Bengt-Erik Johansson, that nothing made him more upset than someone with dyslexia being considered unintelligent because of their disability. The prince explained that it's vital that children with dyslexia never feel left out of school activities. Youngest Princess Madeleine opened up about her journey with her dyslexia by working on a children's book. 

Prince Carl Philip's eldest sister, Princess Victoria, also has dyslexia. The future queen shared with Swedish station SVT (via People) that she used to believe she was stupid and slow because of her learning condition. She certainly has proved to the world that she is neither of those things, and continues to be a success story where dyslexia is concerned.
