# [[Gustav, Prince of Vasa|Crown Prince Gustav]], after 1809 known as ''Gustaf Gustafsson, Prince of Vasa'' (9 November 1799 – 4/5 August 1877). He served as an officer in the service of the [[Habsburg]]s of [[Austria]], and with his wife [[Princess Louise Amelie of Baden]], fathered a son who died in infancy, and a daughter, [[Carola of Vasa|Carola]], the wife of [[Albert, King of Saxony]]. She died childless.
# [[Princess Sophie of Sweden|Princess Sofia Wilhelmina]] (21 May 1801 – 6 July 1865). She married Grand Duke [[Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden|Leopold of Baden]], and their granddaughter [[Victoria of Baden]] married the [[House of Bernadotte|Bernadotte]] king [[Gustaf V]]. (The present King [[Carl XVI Gustaf]] is thus a descendant of Gustav IV Adolf).
# Prince Carl Gustaf, Grand Duke of Finland (2 December 1802 – 10 September 1805)
# [[Princess Amalia of Sweden|Princess Amalia]] (22 February 1805 – 31 August 1853); unmarried and without issue
