Crown Princess Victoria's Birthday (Victoriadagen) - July 14: 2018-2024


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The court write to Hänt Magazine about the Victoria Concert in an email:
"As in previous years, it is planned for Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar to be present during the concert, however, their names are not on the calendar as they are children".

The Victoria Hike on 11th July is part of the Victoria Days and part of the proceeds go to Crown Princess Victoria's Fund. The day starts with the opening at 10:00 and lasts until 16:00. The organizers are planning for more participants this year.
An eventful day for the whole family with outdoor theatre, guided tours and guided hikes is what awaits visitors to the Victoria Hike at Penåsa outside Kastlösa.
- Last year we had guided nature walks, guided hikes for children and adults, coffee and sausage grilling and it was a success. About 300 visitors came and it was a festive family day. The tip walk is laid out on a round. We have two officials dressed in 18th century costumes, they tell about what it was like to live in the deserted village and in the surrounding areas at that time. There will also be guided tours with a nature guide, one of them is specifically for children. And Öland Dramatic Theatre has a performance for children that is a bit interactive so that the children can participate, says Bente Transö, chairman of Friluftsfrämjandet Kalmar-Öland.

On July 14, we celebrate the Crown Princess's birthday on Öland through the traditional concert broadcast on SVT. In connection with the birthday celebration, there are several ways to get involved and support children and young people with disabilities or chronic illness.
In the program, we also get to accompany the Crown Princess when she meets the young people at the Synpunkten leisure farm, which is run by the association Young People with Visual Impairment Stockholm.

The court's wish
Soon it will be time for the Victoria Days and Borgholm is loaded like never before. Kenneth Sunesson says that they have received a request from the court: "They want it to be more of a city party for everyone who is in Borgholm."

"Welcome to pay tribute to Crown Princess Victoria in Borgholm on her birthday on July 14! The Crown Princess will travel with her family in a birthday cortege on Friday 14 July at 16:30 through the city of Borgholm.
In the pictures you can see the birthday cortege last year at the intersection of Köpmangatan and Södra Långgatan.
The birthday cortege and the preparations for it mean that accessibility and parking options are limited starting today and up to and including the evening of July 14. Read more about it here: https://www.borgholm.se/victoriadagarna"

Victoria Day was founded by Kay Wiestål in 1979 as a loving tribute to Crown Princess Victoria on her birthday on 14 July. What was once a one-off day to celebrate the princess has since evolved into Victoria Days. This annual event has grown to become an extensive meeting place on Öland, where the aim is to inspire people to physical activity and a healthy lifestyle!

There was a rehearsal for the birthday procession in Borgholm on Tuesday.

Svensk Damtidning's Helena Wiklund met Daniel today at Victoriagolfen.
She said: Tomorrow, all of Sweden will celebrate the crown princess, and there are many people who will be sitting and cheering in front of the television.
- Yes exactly!, said Daniel.
So how will the prince celebrate? Will there be cake and singing just like usual?
- I know you have to ask. But it's actually very private!

When the pandemic hit Sweden in 2020, it was decided that Victoria and her family would no longer meet well-wishers outside Solliden Palace.
In all years, the crown princess has been courted with song and then walked around among the visitors at the barriers to receive flowers and gifts and chat with the congratulators.
It could sometimes take several hours. Covid-19 put an end to that.
Even though the pandemic is over, they have stuck to the new order with a shorter singing time at the castle.
- As far as I know, there are currently no plans to change the arrangement. Just like last year's celebration of the crown princess's birthday at Solliden, the royal couple and the crown princess couple will come out of Solliden Palace at 16.15. There they are met by Borgholm's cultural school's children's choir, who together with the king and the public sing for the crown princess, says Ulrika Näsholm at the court's information department.

Victoria thanked the people:
- I thank you so much for the beautiful song. It's lovely to stand here and hear the song wander across the lawn. Today is a sunny day. But thank you for taking time to come here. I hope you have a lovely summer and enjoy the lovely weather today.

During the afternoon, the celebration began with the Royal Couple and the Crown Princess family gathering in front of Solliden Palace.
The Swedish Armed Forces fired the traditional salute for the Crown Princess. In addition to being a general flag day, the Crown Princess's birthday is also one of the Armed Forces' salute days. Salutes of 21 shots were fired at 12.00 from the fixed salute stations at Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, Kungshall in Karlskrona, Skansen Lejonet in Gothenburg, Kusthöjden in Härnösand and from a mobile salute battery at Kvarnängen in Boden.
The Crown Princess family goes in a horse-drawn cortege through Borgholm to Borgholm Castle ruins to attend the evening's Victoria concert.

All the previous Victoria Prize winners can attend the Victoria Concert. Yesterday there was Therese Alshammar, winner in 2000. And Peter Forsberg, winner in 1994, sent a video greeting to Erik Karlsson, this year's winner. Foppa also congratulated Victoria on her birthday and joked about his friend Daniel's right hand shot in hockey. Jes per Parnevik, who played with Daniel at Victoriagolfen, was there too with his wife Mia (they were guests at Madeleine's wedding).

Victoria and Daniel invite every year the Victoria Prize winner and his/her family to their house at Solliden on Victoria's birthday.
Svensk Damtidning tells that a private meeting took place at Victoria and Daniel's home before the celebration yesterday afternoon, Erik Karlsson and his wife were invited to the couple's home for a coffee.
In addition to having pleasant conversations, Erik also surprised Victoria with a very nice gift, which many in the family probably appreciated: a signed national team jersey from the Olympics in 2014, when Sweden met Canada in the final.

The tickets for this summer's Victoria concert in Borgholm castle ruins were released on March 6.
 
About Victoria Concert, Victoria's birthday concert
Stephan Rimér, CEO of Leroy Media, the Victoria Concert's organizer, tells that the time of the TV-broadcast has to be changed because of the final of UEFA EURO 2024 football championships.
- Traditionally, it is recorded to be broadcast on SVT an hour or so later. In normal cases, the broadcast usually starts at 21.00. Now the concert will be shown earlier on SVT, so that it does not clash with the final.
It seems that the TV-broadcast starts 19.30 this year.
Rimér tells also that Victoria Concert will be even more wonderful this year, it will be fantastic!
What is new this year is:
SVT broadcasts on Victoria's birthday a new program "The Crown Princess's birthday", that promises highlights from Victoria's year, with clips, interviews and guests.
 
Isabelle Haak, one of the world's best volleyball players, is awarded the 2024 Victoria Prize for her phenomenal season last year. (..)
The prize is presented by HRH Crown Princess Victoria during the Victoria Concert on 14 July. The Victoria concert is broadcast on SVT1 and SVT Play at 18.30-19.00 "Before the Victoria concert - The year with the Crown Princess" and at 20.00-21.00 "Victoria concert" .

Haak now joins a group of Sweden's top athletes. Ingemar Stenmark, JO Waldner, Anja Pärson and Sarah Sjöström are some of the names that received the prize.
- I feel very proud. It's really cool that they even thought of me. The fact that I will now receive the prize feels great. I am super grateful. (..)

Although I follow Swedish sport quite much, volleyball is not on my agenda. So it's great to see Isabelle Haak to get the Victoria Prize. Especially when she sees that volleyball, a small sport in Sweden, is now noticed in this way.

Press release:
Lena Philipsson, Molly Hammar, Albin Lee Meldau, Edda Magnason and Olivia Lobato will perform at the Victoria concert on Sunday 14 July. The music is performed under the direction of Stefan Sporsén and the August family. The host for the concert is, for the sixth time in a row, Yvette Hermundstad.
- To once again be trusted to lead the celebration of our Crown Princess and to pay tribute to history's 46th Victoria Prize winner is very fun and full of honor. It is undoubtedly the most wonderful assignment of the year, says Yvette Hermundstad.

The Royal Court at its social media
Today H.R.H. The Crown Princess turns 47 years old!
The Crown Princess celebrates her birthday traditionally on Öland.

Happy Birthday Crown Princess Victoria!
This special day, known as Victoria Day, marks not only a personal milestone for the Crown Princess but also a day of national pride and joy.
As Sweden's heir to the throne, she has grown up in the spotlight and shown a deep commitment to her country's well-being. She is known for her strong work ethic, her commitment to environmental issues and her warm way with people.
Victoria Day is more than just a birthday – it's a national holiday that unites people of all ages. It is a day to pay tribute not only to Crown Princess Victoria, but also to the values she stands for: commitment, responsibility and love for her country. When we celebrate her birthday, we also celebrate Sweden's bright future under her upcoming leadership.

Victoria's birthdays - lots of lovely memories!
Congratulations Victoria – here's your birthday style through the years!

I hope the Crown Princess has a wonderful birthday today! 🎉

As during some previous years, the Victoria Prize Laureate - this year Isabelle Haak - was invited to meet Victoria and her family to their house at Solliden before the concert and her receiving the Victoria Prize.

And according to tradition, Isabelle Haak made casts of her hands and feet in Kay Wiestål's park in Borgholm today:

Only Victoria and her family with the King and Queen should have come to the Solliden courtyard. It has been a tradition for so long. But also Carl Philip and Madeleine with their families came this time

That Victoria and Madeleine choose dresses in the same price range is a little surprising. Madeleine usually chooses significantly more expensive garments than Victoria.
Elaine Eksvärd, rhetoric expert, has a theory about Madeleine's choice of clothing.
- when in Rome, do as the romans do. In the United States, she has worn a lot of expensive clothes and there it is a completely different status marker and cultural difference. Then you shouldn't "outshine" the main character, she says to Svensk Damtidning.

I suspect that this is going to be considered the family photo session that the Swedish Royal Family does every few years.
 
The Royal Court at its website about the celebration and the concert:
The Armed Forces fired the traditional salute for Victoria on her birthday. In addition to being a general flag day, the Crown Princess's birthday is also one of the Armed Forces' salute days.
Salutes of 21 shots were fired from the salute stations at Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, Kungshall in Karlskrona, Skansen Lejonet in Gothenburg, Kusthöjden in Härnösand and from a mobile salute battery at Kvarnängen in Boden.
Since 1979, a Swedish athlete has been awarded in connection with the Crown Princess's birthday. Volleyball player Isabelle Haak received the Victoria Prize from Victoria.
In connection with the concert, a fundraising was carried out for Crown Princess Victoria's Fund.

This year the concert was held earlier because of the final of the UEFA EURO 2024 Football Championships.
Plenty of time for the evening's private festivities, which are traditionally quite relaxed, especially after the royal couple's lavish birthday lunch at Solliden.
And the royal family did as they usually do, there was a barbecue party on the terrace outside the boat house - or at Victoria and Daniel's in Villa Skönvik - while the sun set over Kalmarsund.
Victoria and Daniel left the Borgholm Castle ruins hand in hand.


Isabelle Haak was invited to a private morning "fika" at Victoria and Daniel's house Villa Skönvik.
- They are both so nice, you feel so comfortable right away. We talked about everything possible, about the Victoria Fund and everything around it - and of course they asked a lot about volleyball!
Isabelle, from Perstorp in Skåne, brought flowers and some personal birthday presents for Victoria. To represent Skåne, she brought a plaid from Klippan. She plays for Imoco Volley in Conegliano and wanted to give Victoria something that Conegliano is extra proud of, they are very famous for their prosecco where the grapes are harvested under the full moon, so she brought a bottle.
Isabelle also had a volleyball with her, and it was put to use immediately. She showed off her skills to Estelle and Oscar and says that Estelle seems very curious to try a little and it was fun, but she has the basketball.

Congratulations to us Victoria - our best poker hand
Happy birthday to us, Crown Princess Victoria.
No day is ever your own. Not even today.
Since 1979, Victoriadagen has been a people's celebration, which is about sports and health and which Swedish designer the crown princess chooses to highlight this year.
It is also about a tourism economic microcosm that stands and falls with the crown princess's good will to share her birthday with Öland in particular.
Does the Crown Princess even remember a time when it was just her on July 14? Hardly.
It's a biological lottery this monarchy thing, because we don't have a say in who it is we get as king or queen.
And then we get Victoria? A royal straight flush.

During the past year, Radiohjälpen has supported 50 projects with a total of SEK 13.5 million from Crown Princess Victoria's Fund. In 2023, a total of SEK 4.5 million was collected. So far, in 2024, the fundraising is over SEK 8 million.

There was a lot of police at Victoria concert this year, obviously because what had happened in the USA.
Police Kalmar Öland writes at its Instagram (the man sitting beside the carriage driver is one of the royal family's bodyguards):
"We can sum up this year's efforts during Victoria Day. Öland showed its best side and the event attracted a lot of people to Borgholm to celebrate Victoria. As far as the police are concerned, the event went on very well without any disturbances. In short, a good summer day with many happy people."

Prime minister Ulf Kristersson congratulated Victoria at his Instagram with a beautiful message:
"Today, I and the entire Swedish government want to congratulate H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria on her 47th birthday. As everyone knows, the Crown Princess does a great job of representing Sweden and strengthening our relations with the outside world. But she does more than that.
It is the curiosity and openness, the personal presence and the strong commitment to issues such as the environment, children's and young people's health and international work that make her efforts so uniquely important in these very serious times. We wish the Crown Princess a real celebration on Öland with her family."

Victoria Prize Laureate Isabelle Haak posted today photos of her days on Öland, at Victoriagolfen and events in connection of her receiving the Victoria Prize. Among them is this beautiful group photo of Isabelle and her boyfriend with the Crown Princess Family - and Rio, of course!
"What an absolutely incredible weekend it was, I am so grateful that I got to receive the wonderful Victoria Prize. It means so much both to me and to volleyball in Sweden, which grows bigger with each passing year.
I have met so many nice people during the weekend and made memories I will never forget. It was so fun to also share it with family and friends who have all been an incredible support during the journey that has brought me to where I am today
Feel free to support the Crown Princess Victoria's Fund in their work for all children's right to an active life"

Swedish Press Agency SPA published yesterday, July 20, a video from the concert:
 
Victoriadagarna (The Victoria Days) posted their thanks on July 23
Another celebration is over, and what a celebration! Brilliant weather mixed with historic amounts of rain.
Someone said that the final part of this year's Victoriagolf was like playing golf in a car wash. But the slightly absurd conditions seemed to attract more smiles than sour faces and the Victoria Prize winner, Isabelle Haak certainly did not regret that she agreed to participate. She also finished with a seven-meter putt for eagle on the 18th hole.
Yes, Öland definitely put us to the test this year, but when it really came down to it, it was, as usual, fantastic weather with brilliant sunshine. On July 14, when the birthday cortege passed through Borgholm, the streets and squares were filled with celebrating people and Borgholm Castle Ruins were packed for the Victoria concert.
