June 6 - Sweden's National Day (2010-2024)

[Baroness of Books]

Is it because Madeleine is unmarried that she does not wear a headdress?

Is it because Madeleine is unmarried that she does not wear a headdress?

Yes, only married women wear a headpiece with a national costume.

A member of Parliament, Lars Beckman, writes at his blog that Daniel spoke against racism in his speech in Malmö.
Åsikter från Lars Beckman: Prins Daniel pratade så mycket klarspråk som man kan mot rasismen som kunglig familjemedlem!

Yes, only married women wear a headpiece with a national costume.

There is a headpiece for girls and unmarried women but it is rather unattractive.

Does anyone watched the celebrations in Skansen and understood what the TV presenter said to Crown Princess Victoria and about Princess Estelle? (she said something about Facebook and Twitter..) i'm curious

 

[KittyAtlanta]

Is there no traditional costume for men?

 

[wok_kym]

Is there no traditional costume for men?

yes there is! if you scroll down you can see it Folkdräkt - För Alltid Svensk~ Forever Swedish
For every traditional costume there is a male version even in the regional ones. So far i have seen prince daniel wearing one from okelbo, but the males of the royal family never wear it. However, i don't know why, maybe somebody else does.

Maybe the king has decided that he doesn't wear a traditional costume, and it would look strange if Carl Philip and Daniel would wear one, when they are with the king.

Daniel is the best speaker of the royal family.

He has surely been working hard ever since the marriage. I'd say the Swedes have a real prince of a man in him

 

[Biri]

The men also should wear, I think.

 

[Boris]

Well, the 'rules' of wearing it are actually made by the current King and Queen themselves because the National Costume does not have a long history.
It was first designed in 1903 and did not become the official National Costume until Queen Silvia herself made it popular and established it to be worn, which was as recently as 1983.
Link to the costume's history:
The Swedish National Costume.

Wouldn't this photo look much more natural if also men were dressed regionally?

 

[Meraude]

Wouldn't this photo look much more natural if also men were dressed regionally?

It's unusual that men dress in a traditional folk dess in Sweden, it's usually only those who are involved in playing and dancing to folk music and among the Samic people that men also wear the folk/traditional dress.

I have only seen Carl Philip in one traditional costume, I believe in 1986 or 1987 when he was a child rest of the time I have only ever seen him in suits. Which I think is fine.

When Victoria had been to the first in 1983 she wore an entirely different costume every year until late 1980s when she wore the same as her mother. I've never been sure of the reason but each costume she wore was adorable. Madeleine I have only ever seen in the traditional yellow and blue costume as a child up to current.

Yes, only married women wear a headpiece with a national costume.

Didn't Victoria wear the headpiece when she wasn't married?

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

No, CrownPrincess5 she didn't. I know, because I asked the very same question couple of years ago

 

[wok_kym]

and strangely enough she didn't wear it even last year when she was already married

Do you think that Christopher O'Neill will attend the celebration?

Do you think that Christopher O'Neill will attend the celebration?

On 30th May Expressen wrote:
It is still not clear, if Chris O'Neill will attend at the National Day celebrations.
- We don't know it yet, it is possible that he will attend, said Bertil Ternert.

But since Chris is in Stockholm (at least on Tuesday he was) it would be a little odd if he wouldn't attend in the evening celebrations. Daniel attended in 6th June 2010 before their wedding.

Carl Philip will be at the Royal Guard at 12.00 Ternert said to Aftonbladet that the whole royal family will attend in the evening, but it isn't sure yet if Chris will attend too.
