You're talking about the church on Riddarholmen which is only rung to commemorate the death of a Knight of the Seraphim
Many thank I knew I was mixing up my churches!

Sorry, I wasn't completely right in my first reply. I had a look at the website of the church that says that The Seraphim toll is one of a few times that the bells are rung.Many thank I knew I was mixing up my churches!
Can't blame her. Listening to our current government's dravel would put anyone to sleep. One would think that screwing over the working class would be more dramatic than boring.It appears that the opening of the Parliament is something so boring that the Crown Princess had some struggle to stay awake.
Opening of the 2020 Riksdag session
The opening of the Riksdag session, which marks the start of the new parliamentary year, will take place on 8 September. As a result of the corona pandemic, there will be a restricted number of people attending the ceremony in the Chamber of the Riksdag this year.
The 2020/21 Riksdag session will open on 8 September. Usually, the members of the Riksdag, the Royal Family, the Government and a large number of invited guests participate in the ceremony during the opening of the Riksdag session. This year, because of the corona pandemic, it will not be possible to carry out the ceremony as usual. For example, a limited number of people will be in attendance on location in the Chamber, and all the activities normally contained in the programme for the opening of the Riksdag session will not take place.
Opening of the 2020 Riksdag session - Riksdagen
No news as yet. §6 of The Riksdag Act of 2014 states that the Riksdag is opened by the Head of State but that if the Head of State is prevented to attend the Speaker opens the Riksdag.will the RF still attend? i presume at least the king would need to be there.
The Riksdag has made several changes to the Opening of the Riksdag, not only the particiaption of the Royal Family.The court updated the Opening of the Riksdag session on 8th September to the calendar, the king and queen are listed to attend.

You know, strangely I wasn't aware that the members of the Diplomatic corps took part in the new Opening of Parliament. Does some of them dress in national costumes like when they hand their letter of introduction to the King?- The Doyen of the Corps Diplomatique is the only Ambassador invited, and representatives from Public Authorities will not be invited this year.

Honestly, I don't know if I was aware of it. But it makes sense that they take part, however, they don't have such a prominent position as in the old ceremony in the Hall of State.You know, strangely I wasn't aware that the members of the Diplomatic corps took part in the new Opening of Parliament.

There is a general tendency in the Swedish language to put the name of the female in a couple before that of the male. But it's always the King & the Queen/Silvia & Victoria/the Crown Princess & Daniel/Prince Daniel.Incidentally, it is interesting that Svensk Damtidning repeatedly uses "Sofia and Carl Philip" instead of "Carl Philip and Sofia" - do they normally use "Daniel and Victoria" or "Silvia and Carl XVI Gustaf" as well?
