On March 19, 2025, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia hosted a formal representational dinner (Representationsmiddag 2025) at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Other members of the Royal Family attending the dinner included Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, and Princess Christina, accompanied by Consul General Tord Magnuson.
The guest list included representatives from the diplomatic corps, parliament, government, public institutions, science, sports, business, and culture, as well as individuals the Royal Family had met during their travels. The banquet was held in Karl XI’s Gallery. The King and Queen regularly host official banquets at the Royal Palace.

Love Victoria’s dress…it looks in bloom with the beautiful colors and is very spring like. Of course there is her wonderful smile! Queen Sylvia also looks very nice with the luscious amethyst (I think?) tiara. Princess Christina is a quite elegant and charming lady. Princess Sofia must be home with the new baby. The gentleman all look dapper though the king looks a bit grumpy. (I know he’s not but he does have some interesting expressions!)
ReplyDeleteThe King of Sweden is a grumpy man. Privately I guess he can be fun but not in public. A
DeleteEveryone looks fabulous. I personally adore florals so I love all that the Royal ladies are wearing interesting versions of floral patterns.

Agree with you, Cinci. In spite of florals supposedly being out of fashion at the moment, these gowns illustrate why they remain a great choice.
DeleteI think they all look wonderful. Q.Silvia’s amethyst jewels are a perfect complement for her dress, CPV’s floral gown fits her beautifully, and P. Cristina’s long coat is very striking over her simple black gown. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteWow love all the dresses. I like the neckline on P Victoria. The queen with her amethyst jewels, perfect. P. Christina look wonderful. Nice floral theme for all three. And the men all so handsome.
ReplyDeleteI loved Victoria's dress when she first wore it some years ago and still love it now as well. It's so pretty and suits her so well. Sylvia's dress is nice too, and I really like P.Christina's long sparkly coat over the black column gown. All three ladies look splendid!

I remember seeing this lovely gown before. I think it was part of several photos released on a special occasion (?) and CP Victoria left her hair loose and long to her shoulders. I thought she looked amazing.
DeleteI remember those photos, canadian fan — they were stunning. I’m thrilled to see Victoria in this enchanting gown again. (And that train…I’m swooning ♥️) — Jane
DeleteYou are correct. It was for their 10th wedding anniversary. Her hair was down and looked beautiful.

It is good to see Victoria in this gown again. I have always thought it is very beautiful, and one of her best gowns. I find myself really liking Christina's gown. It is very becoming on a woman of her age. I am not as fond of Silvia's. It has a less formal feel to me. The floral theme of all the gowns seems to usher in Spring.
ReplyDeleteSofia is on her maternity leave, and she will be for the next 18 months.
ReplyDeleteSo long is the maternity leave in Sweden!
Yes, Swedish parental leave is incredibly generous! The long maternity leave is a huge benefit for parents, allowing them to spend quality time with their child during the early stages of life. It's one of the reasons Sweden is known for supporting work-life balance. The system also promotes shared responsibility between parents, as both mothers and fathers can share the leave. This long period allows parents to bond with their child, and it also gives them time to adjust to the challenges of parenting. Plus, the financial support during this leave helps reduce stress for families. It's definitely a fantastic benefit for both Sofia and her family! ❤️
DeleteGorgeous dresses, the women look fantastic. The men are also looking very dashing. A great family outing!

Madeleine had influensa!
ReplyDeletePrincess Madeleine had another engagement but she'll with the Queen in the Vatican on Friday
DeleteI really like Victoria's dress. Qn Silvia Pr Cristina look good as well.
ReplyDeleteVictoria a sorti de son dressing cette robe que j'ai toujours trouvée sublime avec ces motifs floraux !
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely dress wears Victoria!
ReplyDeleteShe obviously feels very good in it.
The queen and her sister in law: also good dresses.
CP Victoria looks gorgeous in this dress.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny. Normally the participants at a banquet are coming in and are greeting the members of the royal family. Now the royal family is coming in and start greeting the participants who are awaiting them (pics 8 & 9).
Victoria looks absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLa robe de Victoria est somptueuse. Marie
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia dress with the amethyst jewellery is lovely.
ReplyDeleteCP Victoria has worn this dress a few times and it’s still as beautiful as the first time she wore it. I wish she’d wear a brighter lipstick or blush.
Lowri.
