Lady Gabriella often attended social gatherings like Chelsea Flower Show, Trooping and Ascot before… It would be lovely to see her there again, and i think it would be good for her to get out among people again, in well known and controlled spaces… She seems to be a very nice person and have a...

The portrait of Charles himself is not bad, but a more discreet colour than the screaming red would have been preferable. Now it looks like Charles is standing in a fire and almost vanishes…

Another lovely state visit between 2 tight and very close knitted families… The all nordic state visits is always something special to see 😊

She is not mentioned at Kongehuset.no so i think she is at her military training… The Royal Couple, The Crown Prince Couple, and Princess Astrid is listed as attending.

While i personally wouldn’t have anything against Beatrice being given a more prominent role, i don’t think that will go any further than attending commonwealth day service, chelsea flower show, garden parties, trooping, ascot, and lunches and dinners during state visits, and maybe the...

That tiara was if i recall correctly aquired by the Amalienborg Museum so i’m not sure it would be available for Queen Mary or anyone in the royal family to wear… The matching Sapphire Demi Parure is still Queen Margrethe’s property.

According to Royal Historian Trond Norén Isaksen it is not given that Queen Mary will be made a Grand Commander of the Order of Dannebrog anytime soon as there is no precedent of appointing anyone in connection with accessions… Queen Ingrid was appointed on King Frederik IX’s 60:th birthday in...

Not this summer but this autumn in connection with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa… However all that is depending on the king’s health so we won’t know anything until it gets closer With the same logic King Charles should pay a state visit to Japan as well - but it has...

The only reason i could think about for inviting Sweden (and Finland) for a State Visit anytime soon would be Nato and the Defense and Foreign politics Cooperation… However Sweden is not one of UK’s biggest trading partners so i don’t expect it to happen soon though….. But surprises are always...

Unless you live in Norway or Moldova, this visit came totally in the media-shadows of the Danish-Swedish State Visit… A little bit sad that they didn’t choosed other dates so it could get the media-space it deserves

Next summer it is 50 years since King Carl XVI Gustaf paid a State Visit to the United Kingdom (hosted in Edinburgh)… He was then unmarried and was accompanied to the State Banquets by his sister and brother in law Princess Margaretha and John Ambler who already lived in UK… Queen Elizabeth II...

I agree… It suits her very well and yesterday was her best appearance so far wearing it

A kind gesture i would imagine… Victoria knows him very well since many years. And she prefers to wear swedish design as much as possible

Though she has worn the Leuchtenberg Sapphires from time to time for royal state visits too, like the state visit from Spain in 1979 and the state visit from Luxembourg in 2008.

It’s always like that for state visits… The difference tonight is probably that swedish television broadcasted the arrival of the guests and the presentation, wich is very unusual in Sweden.

The chain/collar is always worn as the highest insignia… As the King’s full dress uniform of the royal danish navy is not worn as a mess dress (evening dress), you don’t wear both a sash and a chain, but either of them… As King Frederik was given the Seraphim chain today, it was ofcourse given...

Agree ! That was about time… Lovely to see that the danish and norwegian royal houses doesn’t put him one step below his wife, as has often been the case recently…

Queen Silvia wore the Leuchtenberg Sapphires… That was a surprise to me even though it pops up from time to time at state visits…. But the Braganza Tiara is heavy and our lovely Queen is getting old so i can’t blame her if she wants to stick to comfortable pieces… Queen Mary with the Ruby...

Seems like they are limiting the Order of the Elephant to Monarch + Spouse and Heir + Spouse for foreign royals. I haven’t seen them use the Order of Dannebrog to decorate foreign royals for a very long time…

My guess’ for Stockholm tomorrow Queen Silvia : Braganza Tiara (she wore it during QMII’s state visit to Stockholm in 1985 and even took it to Denmark for the state visit in 2007, so anything else would be a surprise) Queen Mary : Poire Pearl Parure Crown Princess Victoria : Connaught Diamond...

It will be a sight to behold to once again see ”Dannebrog” arrive to Stockholm, and this time be met by the only royal boat we have in Sweden, though the royal barge ”Vasaorden” is a spectacular one… As there is almost no head of state who arrives by boat anymore, this type of welcoming...

As the Royal British Legion is hosting a Setvice of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum on 6 June as well, it may well be that the BRF will attend both events, and that we will see some members there and some members in France.

I guess it will be The Queen if The King is advised to not go… Princess Anne may also go in capacity of President of the Commonwealth Wargraves Commission. According to historian Trond Norén Isaksen, it is planned that Crown Prince Haakon will represent King Harald at the 80:th anniversary of...

I’m sure it will be a much welcomed weekend and short holiday home for them… It’s a long way to Öland from Stockholm and not a distance you want to travel if you only have a short time off… So i’m sure a weekend home nearer to Haga Palace will be good for them
