King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden turned 78 today. On Saturday 30 April, King Carl Gustaf was congratulated on his birthday – in keeping with tradition – by the Swedish Armed Forces and the public in the Outer Courtyard at the Royal Palace. The King was born on Walpurgis Night, Friday 30 April. Walpurgis Night is a traditional holiday in Scandinavia that is celebrated on April 30, and also considered as the arrival of spring.
Members of Swedish royal family, that is, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle, Prince Oscar, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel and Prince Julian watched the celebration from the balcony of the Royal Palace.
Andiata Lesley Boucle Blazer

Sofia seems to love Andiata - and why not - so do I.
ReplyDeleteSilvia and Sofia are looking good. Estelle looks cute and so do the boys but I don't know what to say about Victoria's outfit. The neckline is too high and the colour too pale. What a pity!
Andiata blazer is beautiful;)

I love the pictures of Silvia and Estelle - so sweet and loving.

Queen Silvia looks younger than her daughter (CP Victoria). I love the bouclé suit by Andiata which Princess Sofia is wearing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute when the little prince hugs his grandfather!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the photo of that hug?
DeleteI didn't see it yesterday, but today it shows up! Strange. However nice photo!

I would love to take those good looking little boys for a proper hair cut ✂️ They have such handsome parents, it’s a shame we don’t get the best view of the sons.
ReplyDeleteMaybe their parents think they have proper haircuts? Their choice…
DeleteI too would love to take them for a hair cut.
DeleteBad choice...

J…bad comment…
DeleteIn certain countries the hair of adult male royals is also too long.

DeleteBut what is a "proper" haircut?
So what you are saying is that at the moment they have an "improper" haircut 😉
Queen Silvia looks great and I like Princess Sofia's blazer. Not a fan of either style or colour of CP Victoria's dress , nor Princess Estelle's. Both are too high necked and too colourless. I know some will disagree but I wish the Princes would have their hair cut. Prince Oscar is so smart in comparison. The interaction between Princess Estelle and her grandmother is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, and birthday greetings to the King!
Perhaps the princes themselves want to have their hair styled that way. And if so, that's quite ok.
DeletePaula
For my part, I like that little boys don't look like little old men, just my opinion.
DeleteJe remarque que depuis quelque temps la marque Andiata a le vent en poupe auprès de Sofia qui semble élégante dans ce blazer bouclé ; je suppose qu'elle le porte avec une jupe. Je ne me rappelle avoir déjà vu la robe de Victoria qui mériterait un peu de couleur? Je n'oublie pas de souhaiter un bon et joyeux anniversaire au roi !
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia looks fabulous, love the color of her jacket, bright fuchsia color, suits her well. Victorias dress and Pss Estelle's outfits are lacking in color and dont stand out. Regardless its wonderful to see the family together. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope we get more pictures of Q S and the King and Cpr V and her family!
ReplyDeleteWhen is P M with familj coming back to Sweden, hope soon!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks fantastic! And love Sofias outfit and her three boys look so cute and natural and happy as small boys should be. I think it’s a pity that they dress and put on outfits on Oscar so he looks like an old man….And that hair, why do the put gel or whatever in it so he looks as unfresh as his Dad….Let the kids be kids. And Victoria do need another stylist than the one she has now. Colorless on her and the daughter, stiff and boring. So I think! Carina
ReplyDeleteDear Carina, I think you are going too far. Small boys often wish to look like their father, with suits and a tie, like Oscar here. This is probably his wish. His father looks “unfresh”? Prince Daniel always looks like a true gentleman, his hair needs gel because it looks difficult to manage. What everybody knows in Sweden and you may not be aware of is that Daniel has extreme health problems. Think again.

Virginia, I agree, P D is a handsome man, P Oscar, so cute!
DeleteVirginia! I didn’t say Daniel looks unfresh - I said his hair does and it has nothing to do with his kidney failure. Daniel has very nice hair without gel in it, believe me I’ve seen it. And please, don’t ask people, or in this case, me, to think again, it made me sad. We all have our different opinions which I think should be respected. Carina
Delete@Virginia - knowing PC's 'health problems', and being sympathetic, I fail to see how that impacts on his dress sense which has not changed in years.
ReplyDeleteAnonymus 18:43…..I so agree with you! Carina
DeleteIf the King were born on Walpurgis night his birthday would be on May 1.
ReplyDeleteWhat can we say about the young princes hair if even the king and his son's hair is too long in the neck. To me it looks not very fresh at all and not an example for the young princes. Prince Daniel's has perhaps not the best hairdo either but at least his hair is not too long and so is Prince Oscar's.
