Carl Wachtmeister, born 21 April 1823 in Stockholm, was the oldest son of count Carl Johan Wachtmeister and Francèse Louise von Rehausen, and grandson of count and admiral Claes Adam Wachtmeister.[1] Gotthard Wachtmeister was his younger brother.
He started his diplomatic career as attaché in Berlin in 1843, was made chargé d'affaires and consul-general in Italy in 1850 and was sent as envoyé extraordinaire and ministre plénipotentiaire to Copenhagen in 1858. In September 1861 he was sent as a special envoy to Turin and later in 1861 appointed envoy first in Constantinople and then in London. He returned to Copenhagen in this capacity in 1865.[1]
4 June 1868 he was appointed Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs (the title used for the foreign minister at that time) as successor to Ludvig Manderström and made Lord of the Realm, the same year as the title was abolished. Wachtmeister died unexpectedly 14 October 1871 and was succeeded as foreign minister by Baltzar von Platen.
