On August 21, 2021, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden attended the Swedish Royal Rally (Svenska Kungsrallyt) on Öland. This year, the Swedish Royal Rally was held for the fourteenth time and celebrated its 25th anniversary. The biennial Royal Rally is an event focusing on old cars. The King arrived at the event field driving his Volvo PV60 car.
The Royal Rally began in 1997 in connection with the 50th birthday of King Carl Gustaf of Sweden. In 1996, the first Volvo PV60 car which began to be produced in 1946 was given as a gift to King Carl Gustaf. King Carl Gustaf participated in the first Swedish Royal Rally held on Öland Island in August 1997 with that Volvo PV60 which was at the same age with him. The King and Queen traditionally attends the rally.
Superbes tous les deux en tenue chic-décontracté surtout la Reine dans sa veste de couleur très lumineuse ; ravissant son chapeau fleuri qui apporte une touche champêtre mais je préfère son bouquet de fleurs fraîches qui a l'air de comporter en partie des petites roses blanches ainsi que des lys que j'adore ; mignon le petit nœud-papillon du roi qui tranche bien sur sa chemise blanche !

ReplyDeleteOh that hat with flowers is horrible.

It is a funny vintage event with old cars so they are dressed accordingly.

It is common for people at vintage car shows to dress in period clothing. I suspect that Carl Gustaf and Silvia are having fun with the bow tie and hat, respectively. ~d
DeleteYes, the king & queen dress in old-style clothing for this event, which is one of the king's favorites. Carl Gustaf loves cars: vintage cars, old cars, new cars, fast cars that he can speed in (happened again a few days ago at Solliden). ~Laurel~
DeleteSpot on comment, ~ Laurel~ !

The hat is the perfect conversation piece for this event. The cat is a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the look for the day? I am not sure but they all seem to step back in a era.
ReplyDeleteIt's meant to be a fun day out for all.
I love that hat on her. First, the hat itself is fun and gorgeous. Second, it fits her beautifully. - I know there are some people outside there might think a black veil could be more "age-appropriate" for an old woman :-) - these things never change, what a pity. I mean, she does not wear a bikini or a crop top, it is a hat with flowers. (-Ann.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event. I love classic cars. Sounds like a great day! They look like they are enjoying themselves.

ReplyDeleteWell said Yumiko. The King and Queen do look like they are having fun , so that quirky little hat fits into the event very well. Sweet.
