Documentary "Kungliga slottet" (The Royal Palace) on SVT1 and SVT Play on 13th and 20th June.
SVT tells about the program
"Follow through golden halls and dark basement vaults. The Royal Palace in Stockholm holds over a thousand rooms, and several hundred years of royal history. The king and his sister, Princess Christina, tell what it was like to grow up in the palace. Crown Princess Victoria shows favorite rooms and priceless objects. Historians, experts and craftsmen give a unique picture of a national treasure, the Royal Palace."
Svensk Damtidning about the program
The two-part documentary takes place in 602-room Stockholm Palace, the king's workplace and official residence and once his and Haga princesses' childhood home: A mythical floor in the south palace wing with slightly sloping floor which the king himself calls "honestly quite boring!".
- We lived inside these small, small windows that you see up under the roof. It was like a long hotel corridor about! I moved here when I was four, from Haga. And I thought the palace was so dark and mysterious and a little scary - it was so big, and had so many dark big rooms and many doors.
Princess Christina opens doors to rooms that are otherwise completely private. To the dining room where she and the king and her sisters always ate everyday dinner with mother Sibylla. Incidentally, the same room that Gustaf III once had as his bedroom.
- But maybe it was not something we thought about every weekday evening at six!
Now the king and the queen have their private overnight apartment in the northern part, a corner apartment that the king describes as a large T:
- And it is a very nice floor. Yes, absolutely fantastic I think!

And we see Daniel, Estelle and Oscar at the program too
- The Royal Palace has an enormous symbolic value, of course. But then it is also a fantastic cultural heritage with an enormous history that has not stopped, it is a building and a place whose history is constantly growing. Every year, every event, it is added layer upon layer of history all the time. Which makes it a living place. It's huge that we have these environments left, given how old they are. It is a fantastic treasure we have in Sweden and it is available. And it's everyone's our treasure, says Victoria, who in the program takes Estelle, Oscar and Daniel on a tour to show the palace where she herself lived when she was little.
