The Swedish Royals at the Polar Music Prize: 2004-2024

OK this event has always been about out of the box fashion.
From that perspective, Victoria looks great and Sofia boring.

Having said this, if this was any other event, Victoria looks like a yellow highlighter pen and I never thought I'd say that Sofia is actually best dressed among the SRF Ladies.

The King, Queen, Victoria, Carl Philip and Sofia have long been listed at court calendar to attend the Polar Music Prize award ceremony.
Margareta Thorgren today to Svensk Damtidning:
- Unfortunately, Prince Daniel doesn't have the opportunity to participate in this year's Polar Music Prize. The reason is a schedule conflict with another assignment, which the court will update in the calendar shortly.

As a Finn it was great to see fantastic Esa-Pekka Salonen get the Polar Music Prize from the King. And our president Alexander Stubb's video greeting was a wonderful surprise for Esa-Pekka.

Eva Dahlgren sang at the banquet a beautiful song she recorded with Esa-Pekka Salonen. Salonen seemed to be very moved hearing his good friend singing.

Moonica Mac sang David Bowie's "Lets dance", produced by Nile Rodgers

It was a pity they didn't show the banquet live at Polar Music's Youtube channel as in previous years.
