The magazine was established in 1889.[1][2] Svensk Damtidning is part of Aller Media and is published by Aller Media AB on a weekly basis.[3] Its headquarters is in Helsingborg.[3]

During the initial period Svensk Damtidning targeted all women without a special reference concerning social class, but later it is called a royal lifestyle magazine.[4] The magazine began to cover celebrity news from the 1970s and focuses on the news about the European royal families.[2] Its audience is women aged between 20 and 49.[3]
