He was born in London, but was educated in Switzerland and the United States. He was educated at Institut auf dem Rosenberg, and received a BA in International Relations from Boston University, and a MBA from Columbia Business School.

He first began dating the Swedish monarch's youngest daughter in 2011, and their engagement was announced in October 2012 {Source}. Their wedding took place in June 2013{Photos}. Together, they have three children:


Unlike Prince Daniel and Princess Sofia, Mr. O'Neil does not hold a formal Swedish title or perform royal duties due to his not holding Swedish citizenship and wanting to continue his business endeavors. However, last fall, the family moved to Sweden ahead of the birth of Prince Nicolas, and moved to London in the fall of 2015. The family traditionally spends the summer months in Sweden, and if I had to guess once all three of the kids become school aged, they will move to Sweden permanently again. However, in Ocotober 2019, his father in law removed his children as members of the Royal House effectively meaning they lost their HRH/of Sweden status, but remain in succession and hold courtesy titles Princely and their ducharies still, the other rules may have changed as well.
