Carl Juel (1706–1767), was a Danish statesman and court official, councillor, and diocesan governor.[1]

He was a son of statesman and nobleman Knud Juel and the brother of court official Niels Juel.

He served as courtier of to the queen, Sophie Magdalene of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, and he married the queen's maid-of-honor Christiane Henriette Louise von Schleinitz in 1738. He was appointed as the Diocesan Governor of Christianssand stiftamt in Norway from 1738 until 1742. They then moved back to Denmark where he and his wife were powerful central figures at the Danish royal court and their careers there took place in parallel: in 1742-43 they served as chamberlain and chief lady-in-waiting to Princess Louise of Denmark (1726–1756), and in 1743 they were appointed to the same position for the new crown princess, Louise of Great Britain. They kept their offices to Louise after she became queen, and were appointed to the same offices to the next queen, Juliana Maria of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, in 1752.[2]

In 1754, the Juel couple were ousted from the royal court, reportedly because they were considered a threat by the powerful Johann Hartwig Ernst von Bernstorff. He was then appointed to the position of County Governor of Ringsted amt. He held that post from 1754 until 1760 when he appointed to the position of Diocesan Governor of Fyns stiftamt. He held that job until his death in 1767.[2]
