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


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I read that on TV4 that Leonore is mention being there, but they didn't mention Chris. Has that all change?

From Aftonbladet 3rd June:
According to Margareta Thorgren (the director of the press department) Princess Leonore will not make any public appearance before the baptism on Sunday.
- The public role will be assumed by Princess Madeleine and Mr. Chris O'Neill, she says.

What did Princess Madeleine say?

It was such a nice surprise to see Princess Leonore at the arms of her mother. And Christopher! Aww. He seems to be over the moon with his two girls.
 
I had a feeling that Leonore would be there, too. And I was right. Even though she slept through her first official event she looked so cute in her little national dress. And her parents look happy and proud of their little girl. What a nice little family.

But where is the ... how is it called? ... the hat-thing of the national dress that married women wear? Madeleine is married this year. Or do they just wear this hat-thing in the evening at the concert? I'm a bit confused right now.

When a woman is married, she should use the headwear. And Madeleine always wears wrong shoes with the national costume. The queen and Victoria wear the right shoes.

If I am remembering correctly, when opening the palace- they don't always wear full costume. Didn't Victoria wear a white dress with a swedish flag necklace? So Madeleine still has time to put the hat on. And didn't Victoria not wear the hat until her second year married? That I could be totally remembering wrong.

Would someone be so kindly to translate Madeleine´s words when she presents little Leonore? It would be very much apreciated :)

Leonore is such a beautiful baby, and both Madeleine and Chris look so happy and proud.

Estelle is as charming as always in her pic :wub:
 
:sad:I hope this is not going to be hijacked into a Madeleine vs Victoria weekend

I love it when any of them wear any of the National outfits, especially the gorgeous little girls! What a nice surprise.
Chris and Madde look so smitten and happy to to be back.
 
The little girls look so cute in their national dresses!

Adorable! They look so happy! Can someone translate what Madeleine said? She also pronounced Leonore Lee-oh-nor...
 
The opening of the gates was done differently than last year, they had returned to the traditional opening.

Victoria and Daniel welcomed 65 new swedish citizens at the citizenship ceremony in Solna, people from Azerbaijan to USA.
- It was unexpected that they came here. I had no idea that they would come. It was really exciting, you feel really welcome and it is good, said Yuly Muñoz from Colombia.

adorable day. All looks happy :)
Beautiful pictures and lovely surprise with Leonore :flowers:
 
This is what Princess Madeleine said at the opening of the gates today:

"How wonderful to see so many of you here today. Me, Christopher and Leonore would like to wish you all welcome to "Öppet slott" (Open Palace) and we wish you all a wonderful National Day. Thank you all for beeing here today".
 
Love that they took Leonore in her traditional costume
Puzzled as to way Madeline doesnt wear the headgear? i would like to see the men in traditional attire as well.

Estelle is looking just like Carl Philip at that age
 
:previous:thank you. Is Carl Philip not there yet?

The evening ended with the Swedish Army Tapto at the courtyard. Carl Philip wasn't with the royal family, maybe he left back to Gothenburg already.

Happy National Day, Sweden! As the Royal family embrace festivities, even three-month-old Princess Leonore is dressed to tradition | Mail Online
Stockholm was alight with flags, balloons and confetti today, as millions celebrated the National Day of Sweden.

And the country’s Royal family were no exception: Princess Madeline, her husband Christopher O’Neill and their three-month-old daughter Princess Leonore all joined in the festivities from the Royal Palace.

Princess Madeleine, 31, waved and beamed for photographs, holding the baby princess with Christopher’s arm affectionately placed over her shoulder.
 


Awww!! Look at that little Sweetling snoozin away in Mum's arms. They look so happy and proud to be showing Leonore off to everyone. I also love that picture of Victoria w/her arms flung open wide at the Citizenship Ceremonies. Like she's matching her words w/her actions to welcome all the new Citizens to their new Country.

And how cute was Estelle in the carriage w/Mum and Dad trying best to wave to everyone?

Sigh...I can't wait till Sunday and Leonore's Christening!!! :D. This was a lovely...warm up I'll say to that. :)
