On March 12, 2025, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrated her name day at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. For the first time, she attended the Armed Forces' name day ceremony in uniform. She has recently been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. Since the early 1990s, the Swedish Armed Forces have celebrated the Crown Princess’s name day with a ceremony in the Inner Courtyard of the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
The ceremony included an honor guard from the Life Guards, the main guard from the Life Regiment Hussars (K 3), and the Army Music Corps. After receiving well-wishes in the courtyard, the Crown Princess met with Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Appelgren from the Victoria Battalion of the Stockholm Amphibious Regiment to receive a photo album with pictures from the battalion’s past year.
Grattis Viktoria på din namnsdag! Din namne i Borgholm.
ReplyDeleteEtt mycket klokt och viktigt beslut att presentera dig i militäruniform!!!
ReplyDeleteGratulerar,
Astrid
I think it´s wrong. This wasn´t a military event, in fact this a very inofficial and rather personal celebration.
DeleteI am looking at the increased focus on the military with concern. They are trying to get people to get used to militarisation. Europe is on a very dangerous path.
Why is she in uniform ?? This was not so the earlier years !
ReplyDeleteI think it might be as she is going to some military school. Think it suits her! A
DeleteVictory looks very smart in the uniform!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI´d prefer a non-military outfit for this event.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice in her uniform. She has completed her military training, has been promoted so why not wear her dress uniform for this occasion.
