King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia attended at the prize-giving ceremony for the Themed Gardens exhibition at Solliden's park.
Solliden invited leading representatives from Swedish parks and gardens to submit contributions, and four entries were selected. They competed for the Solliden Award and the Visitors' Award. The Solliden Award is decided by a jury. The Visitors' Award has been voted by the visitors on 1st July-9th August.
The idea is to add a new dimension to the palace grounds and to give visitors inspiration and new ideas. This year's theme was "Den goda trädgården" (The Good Garden). The participants were:

The Swedish King's Rally is this year organized for the 13th time, of which twelve of them have been arranged in Borgholm. The royal couple have agreed to attend, and according to Kjell Gehammar, who is in charge of the Rally, the king has been extremely careful that the rally has to be with and extend the tourist season on Öland.
- He is very much concerned. The first suggestion was to have the Rally in early August, but it was too early, the king thought. He wants to look after the season on Öland.

The royal couple's hectic schedule in New York
The King and Queen are in New York.
But because of the busy schedule, there is no visit to the daughter, Princess Madeleine.
During the weekend, the King and Queen attend a dinner and a board meeting at the World Scout Foundation in New York, USA.
Then, on Monday and Tuesday, they visits the UN for deeper information about the work of the Security Council. In addition, the royal couple will be informed about Sweden's work with children and armed conflict with meetings with representatives of the UN and Sweden's UN delegation.
- They will not have so much free time but probably a few hours here and there, but then it's private, says Margareta Thorgren.
On Monday morning, the King and Queen meet the Security Council, which will tell, among other things, developments in the Middle East. In the afternoon, they will visit the Folke Bernadotte bust inside the UN building.
Later, they have a meeting with ambassador of Sweden to UN Olof Skoog and ambassador of Norway to UN Tore Hattrem, as well as with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Princess Madeleine lives in Florida. However, the busy schedule means that the king and queen can not meet their daughter during this trip.
- It's not going to happen at this moment, said Margareta Thorgren.

Photos from Monday, among others from the meeting with Secretary-General António Guterres

When the King and Queen visited the UN Headquarters in New York on Monday, they had a special request:
They wanted to see the bust of the King's godfather.
- It has been the royal couple themselves who asked to do this, says Anne-Sofie Näslund, Expressen's correspondent in New York
The King and Silvia are on a visit in New York. The official reason for the trip is a visit to the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan, where the royal couple participated in a meeting of the Security Council during Monday. On the agenda, was the situation in the Middle East.
However, on the way to the meeting, the royal couple had asked to make a stop to the UN lobby, to see the famous bust of Folke Bernadotte.
- Queen Silvia has previously stayed at the bust when she was in New York. She asked her reporters to take a picture of her next to it, says Anne-Sofie Näslund.
Folke Bernadotte was cousin of Gustaf VI Adolf and also godfather of the king.

King Carl Gustaf delivered today the Seraphim Medal, H.M. The King's medal and Litteris et Artibus at a ceremony in Lovisa Ulrika's dining room at the Royal Palace. Queen Silvia attended too.
The author and psychologist Hédi Fried who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen received the Seraphim Medal from the King for her efforts in the fight for democracy and human values.
The Seraphim medal is presented for outstanding services of a humanitarian nature or of general benefit to society. The medal is the oldest reward or medal of merit and is the only medal whose king portraits are not replaced on the throne changes. Therefore, it bears King Fredrik I's picture. The Seraphim Medal is distributed very sparingly.

On Wednesday, February 13, the King unveiled a portrait bust depicting August Strindberg in the Bernadotte Library at the Royal Palace. The Queen also attended the ceremony.
The portrait bust is a gift to the Bernadotte library from Karl-Magnus Fredriksson, who was appointed as the court singer by the King in 2004 and is also active as a sculptor.
Before the King uncovered the bust, he said:
"I hope it will serve as a reminder to all our visitors; both about the library's exciting history and about the rich Swedish heritage that it is part of.”
Karl-Magnus Fredriksson told about the sculpture and his work with it. During the ceremony, he performed three romances together with pianist Mattias Böhm.

For those who remember Victoria's participation in the memorial service at Stockholm's Great Synagogue on Holocaust Rememberance Day this year, Livi Fränkel is the lady with the walker who followed Victoria out of the synagogue.
I've said it before, but I feel its worth repeating that handing out the award to Hédi Fried was, in my opinion, a very good decision by the King.

Yes, I'm looking forward to that. They've met many times and were both part of the Swedish delegation to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 2015. Hédi was standing right next to Victoria when Rolf Fredriksson, a reporter from SVT, asked his infamous question about her ancestor's Nazi involvement.
A completely justifiable question that Victoria handled well, but one that was made at the wrong occasion and shocked many of those around them so much that audible gasps can be heard.

King Carl Gustaf delivered H.M. The King's medals for contributions in Swedish sport at a ceremony in Princess Sibylla's apartments at the Royal Palace. Queen Silvia attended too. The medal, which is new from 2019, is in the 5th size in gold and on the medal ribbon there is a horizontal bay leaf branch in gold.
Daniel's second cousin Frida Hansdotter, the olympic champion in women's slalom, was one of the recipients.

ROYAL: Silvia und Carl Gustaf nehmen an Medaillenverleihungen für Verdienste am schwedischen Sport im königlichen Palast teil

At the ceremony attended, among others, Andre Myhrer, Frida Hansdotter and the women's curling team, who won the Olympic gold in South Korea.
- It's a great feeling. You feel incredibly welcome, so it's really nice to come here, says Andre Myhrer.
- Continue with this so you keep the Swedish flag high abroad where you compete, we think it is fun that can not be included but see it at home on TV.
Several of the medalists also experience it as a great support with a royal family who are personally so interested in sports:
- It is so awesome to have a king who genuinely becomes happy about how it goes for us. We really feel it, and it is an incredible honor that we got to meet him in the Olympic village and feel his support, says Anna Hasselborg in the Swedish curling national team, who tells how King Carl Gustaf greeted the team during the Olympic Games in South Korea last year.

King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia arrived to Austria yesterday to follow the Fis Nordic World Ski Championsships in Seefeld.

Aftonbladet's Sportsbladet meets a really snotty-nosed king before the women's skiathlon. He coughs a couple of times before giving his views on the upcoming competitions.
- You should always have high expectations. You have to. Then what happens, we'll see. It's just to keep all your thumbs in your pockets and hope that everything goes well. That waxing works, that skis work. Now it has to work.
Ebba Andersson is ill. How disappointed did you get when you heard it?
- It's a shame. It would be fun to see how strong she is against the other international comrades, with whom she in fact skis with and meets a lot. It would have been fun to see how far she had come. But there are more competitions. They are young.
Are you going to cry and shout now?
- No, I'll take it easy. I have a sore throat.
The royal family has grown over the past few years, so the calendar is full of meaningful days. One of them is just today. Princess Estelle turns seven, which the royal couple cannot celebrate home in Sweden.
Though Carl Gustaf has been forethoughtful.
- We greeted her before, the day before yesterday, so it is already done. It is important to stay ahead of time all the time so that you are involved, he says.
What did you give as a gift?
- I can't talk about that.

The king and queen visit the ski team at the hotel in Seefeld. There, the King and Queen Silvia will have dinner together with the national team skiers and all the leaders.
It will be a golden dinner after Stina Nilsson and Maja Dahlqvist's victory.
- We have had a tradition during championships. It is appreciated by everyone, says Johan Sares, head of the Swedish Ski Association.
But the king will have to keep a certain distance to the riders.
The king has cold
- He has been wheezy in the bronchial tubes for a long time and has eaten antibiotics. But there should not be a risk of infection, says Johan Sares.
But...?
- He will not sit next to any skiers, says Johan Sares.
No royal hugs then?
- No. The queen will take care of those, joked Sares.

I found this interesting but I stumbled upon Kungahuset's article about the King and Queen in Austria however when you click on it, it appears to be a broken link. However if you "translate the page" you can read the article. It does not appear on the website's homepage or on the article archives so perhaps they will release it tomorrow? Never the less here it is- very brief.
