| Today is July 14 and Crown Princess Victoria celebrates her 42nd birthday today. The birthday of The Crown Princess is traditionally celebrated at Solliden's Castle and Borgholms IP. The birthday celebrations began with King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar meeting with the public in front of Solliden's Castle. The Children's Choir from Borgholm's Culture School performed at the yard of Solliden Palace on Victoria's birthday. The birthday celebrations will continue with a concert to be given at Borgholms IP. The King and The Queen, Crown Princess Couple, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Prinscess Madeleine and Christopher O'Neil will attend the concert. |
Happy Birthday to Victoria! I like the print on the dress. The larger flowers and animals are a fun choice. She has even had her hair done for the occasion. I just wish we weren't seeing more of the same. This dress would seem more special if we didn't see her in loads of fabric year-round. She has a nice high slit, showing her legs and cute, casual shoes. Since she had her hair done, I would have loved to have seen something different and more relaxed, not a more refined low bun. Most importantly, the interaction she has with her children is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI feel her hair is the same style, just a bit more sculpted in the back, and the part is on the side, rather than straight back, that does not indicate that 'she had her hair done', imo. She is a lovely woman, dresses well, and her choices are just that, her choices, not all of ours. :)
DeleteHappy 42nd Birthday to a very lovely CPss. Love her dress she can move in it.I think little Oscar is a scene grabber. Both children are very cute.Also like the Queens pink dress a lot. Both kids in all white,lovely. The men try to match too sort off.
ReplyDeleteOh I so love this beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteVics dress is not my favourite, but on a summer day out for your birthday it works. All the best for the CP and many happy years to come.
Estelle is a star, graceful, happy and such a cutie. She will make a terrific Crown princess one day.
Oscar ist cute and this time not so grumpy as we are used to. You can see that Vic is a safe harbour for her children and a very loving, caring and hands on mother.
Daniel is the perfect match for her and I like him very much. Though I sometimes fear he might be unwell, he often is quite pale. I truly wish him many many healthy years to come as the perfect support and loving husband for Sweden’s future queen
BTW queen Silvia looks smashing in that dress, the colour is gorgeous.
Not the best dress to wear when everyone has shown up in your honor!
ReplyDeleteThis is a somewhat casual day, it's always been. She greets the people on a lovely summer day. This dress is very pretty. Nice and flowy. We all know she likes her hair in a bun, enough about it already. The family is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love this event.
ReplyDeleteVictoria looks lovely - I like the dress, it's festive and summery and allows her to get down on a level with children without being constricted.
The Queen also looks great in her pop of bright pink. The two children are adorable.
Totally agree!
ReplyDeleteThe entire family looks happy and relaxed. Estelle looks adorable- love her hair styled that way and dress. Like the color of the King’s blazer and Queen’s dress.
ReplyDeleteLovely Princess. Not a fan of the dress. If she wanted the pattern, perhaps shorter; if she wanted long, perhaps plainer? However, she looks so happy and the whole family are just so great together that the dress is very much a secondary concern.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Was soll man sagen? Ich bin immer wieder gerührt, diese kleine Familie zu sehen. Vielleicht, weil ich es ja mitbekommen habe, wie schwer es war, bis sie zustande kommen konnte. Alle sehen so glücklich aus - und normal! Das ist nicht selbstverständlich, wenn man in einem Palast aufwächst, denke ich mir. All den bürgerlichen Neuzugängen sei Dank, dass sie etwas Normalität in diese Welt bringen - und gut, dass der Adel es zulässt! Viele glückliche Sekunden im neuen Lebensjahr!
