On December 16, 2024, Queen Silvia, accompanied by Princess Estelle, Prince Oscar, Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, Prince Julian, Princess Leonore, Prince Nicolas, and Princess Adrienne, received this year’s Christmas trees at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The Christmas trees were traditionally presented by forestry students from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå.
Since the 1960s, SLU students have upheld the tradition of delivering Christmas trees to the Royal Palace. The "Kungsgran" (King’s Spruce) derives its name from this custom. Previously, it was commonly known as the Nordmann Spruce.
J'adore particulièrement la dernière photo où la reine est très bien entourée ; je remarque que la princesse Estelle grandit bien vite !

Well, that is your opinion, which you are entitled to. Just be mindful that combat and lug bottom boots are not just for teens. I wear them myself, and I am far from being a teen. I know many women my age that do. I don't think they are ugly at all! It would have been nicer to find something complimentary to say, since they are children.
DeleteLovely photos! Little Nicholas seems less shy and withdrawn. In my opinion, this is the prettiest european royal family.
ReplyDeleteThey’re all pretty. It would be a shame for the young people to come across comments where we rank them.
DeleteSo sweet photos. Alexander has a new haircut and little Julian is adorable, they all are. How nice for queen Silvia to have all her grandchildren near her.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a heartwarming tradition. Lovely family pictures.

ReplyDeleteEstelle est mignonne avec sa tenue rouge cerise, ça lui va bien :-)
ReplyDeleteLes filles de Madeleine sont habillées comme en 1940.
Ils doivent être bien contents les enfants d'avoir plusieurs sapins à décorer, c'est ça la vie de château ! Paloma.
Leonore is wearing Estelle's Ralph Lauren dress.
