On August 26, Swedish King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia attended the Swedish Royal Vintage Rally 2023 (Svenska Kungsrallyt) on the island of Öland. The biennial Royal Rally is an event focusing on old cars. The King arrived at the event field driving his Volvo P1800 car.
The Royal Rally began in 1997 in connection with the 50th birthday of King Carl Gustaf. The competition was held in central Öland, starting in Borgholm. The King participated in the rally this time with his first car – a Volvo P1800.
So lovely, makes me smile. e.
ReplyDeleteDe bien sympathiques photos du couple royal dont le style de tenues correspond à merveille afin d'assister à ce Royal Rally 2023 axé sur les voitures anciennes !
ReplyDeleteThe flowery hat looks incongruous with the sporty pants suit and shoes. DIQ
ReplyDeleteWhich was the intention, i presume.... e.
DeleteWith reason
DeleteI love seeing these two out and about. This looks like fun & Silvia's outfit is adorable. I think a skirt would've rounded off the feminine hat even more nicely, but that's just a minor quibble. The colour suits her really well. And the King looks fantastic, too. Love the vintage vibe!

The Queens hat is so wonderfully ridiculous looking and the kings suite is priceless. I am sure one can find all sorts of things in the attic of the royal castle, not only priceless antiques.

Oh no no this time : the Queen’s hat is just ridiculous, does not fit at all.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get it did you ? They are copying old car races. It is a vintage rallye. Once they are sitting in the car you cannot see if she wears a pant, a skirt or a dress. Their hats are funny. Rose
DeleteYou don't get the point. It is suppoused to be a little "ridiculous". Elena
DeleteCommenters should realise that this was a classic car rallye, and many participants appeared in period costume for that. It's meant to be a fun event, and sometimes silly clothing might be involved, yes. I applaud QS for showing up in that flowery headpiece.
DeleteAre you serious? 😂😂😂
Deleteit’s a vintage rally, so a vintage hat! … not aiming to be modern!
DeleteDelightful. Both King and Queen look as if they’re loving the event.
ReplyDeleteI think that she was going for this "silly" look, don't think that it was meant as a fashion choice, but more a tune with an era
ReplyDeleteThey both love sweet

Maybe a hat was part of the suggested dressing code, but I don't like this one.
ReplyDeleteSame for me
DeleteNice to see them this happy. Love Q Silvia's outfit, just not a fan of this flower thing on her head. css
ReplyDeleteI like the lilac outfit and the vintage hat is fun (as are the comments thinking it's part of a serious outfit!) I love the car.
ReplyDeleteAgree, so many too serious comments 😉. I think that many of us don't read what it is about. If you just look at the pictures you don't have any clue of what's the point.
DeleteThey look like they are having a great time. I love the fun hats.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful colour for Silvia!
ReplyDeleteThey both look great, having such fun. Nothing like an events where you can go a blt costume-y
ReplyDeleteThis put a smile on my face. Lovely color on Queen Silvia.
