Like discussed, princess Christina's work duties and other activity is a little hard to find.

Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson were on 19th September at the big premiere of opera Notorious at Göteborgsoperan. The opera is based on Hitchcock's spy thriller.
- We met at a dinner in the spring and I invited the culture enthusiastic princess here, says Göteborgoperan's CEO, Ronnie Hallgren, who along with Stephen Langridge, artistic director, welcomed the princess at the red carpet.

Princess Christina has written in collaboration with journalist Carl Otto Werkelid a book "Dagar på Drottningholm" (Days at Drottningholm). It will be published next spring by Bonnier Fakta. Photos are taken by one of the most famous swedish photographers, Ralf Turander.
Personal memories and favorites from a loved Palace.
For Princess Christina Drottningholm is an old love. There she has celebrated Christmas every year since childhood and often participated in various private and official events. The Palace's history, environments and personalities, not least the strong women who left their imprint there, have always fascinated her.
She highlights from the individual events in Drottningholm history her favorites and shares her own experiences at the Palace. She tells the story of the young widow Hedvig Eleonora who started the building of the Palace, dance performances at the ancient theater, about grandfather Gustaf VI Adolf's garden plans and unusual Christmas dinner, about sledge trips with siblings in the park and her wedding waltz with her husband Tord Magnuson at Karl X Gustav's gallery and much more.
The book will be published also in english.

Gula Änglarna is a non-profit organization located in the Oscar's parish in Östermalm. Their goal is to support vulnerable and homeless people in Stockholm. Princess Christina is one of the donors of Gula Änglarna and has attended at the concert for many years, sometimes also Tord Magnuson has been with her.
 
Because princess Christina's work duties aren't at the royal calendar, they are hard to find and will be found many times after some time has already gone from the event.

Princess Christina represented the royal family at Royal Swedish Academy of Music's formal gathering on 30th November. She delivered the Göran Lagervall Scholarships.

Princess Christina is The First Member (an honorary member) of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music together with the king and crown princess Victoria.
 
Oscar and Emma Magnuson's younger son, who was born on 16th October, is called Henri.

Swedish Damtidning tells that Oscar made a heroic effort during the holidays
An eyewitness tells about Oscar's great heroic deed. Oscar Magnuson rescued baby Henri from being thrown out of the pram.
The incident occurred when Oscar and Emma were walking both with their pram/stroller along Norrmälarstrand. Emma had Henri at a pram and held in the dog leash the family's French bulldog. Suddenly happened what should not happen - the dog jerked and Emma lost her grip on the pram, which began rolling down the hill in a tremendous speed. Quick as a weasel rushed Oscar and grabbed the pram with his son in, just as it was about to tip over into a small pond.
It was a very relieved mother, who gave her husband a kiss. Together, the family went ahead and Emma kept a firm grip on the pram ...

That must have been a shock, even more so with a baby only 2 months old.
 
On the Queen's Birthday, Princess Christina was seen walking towards the Royal Palace in Stockholm. (I don't know if she was just out for a walk or was going to the Palace - but if she was going to the Palace that would surprise me because I would have thought they would have celebrated at Drottningholm.)

Expressen has an article about princess Christina writing in collaboration with journalist Carl Otto Werkelid a book "Dagar på Drottningholm" (Days at Drottningholm). It will be published in April by Bonnier Fakta.
- It's very personal, including the last Christmas with her and the king's father before he was killed just a month after a plane crash, says Carl Otto Werkelid who is co-author.
Princess Christina, who grew up at the Haga Palace, has always had Drottningholm Palace as her big favorite. Ever since Oscar I was the tradition that the royal family gathered at Drottningholm Palace every year for Christmas.
- Yes, Princess Christina spent all her childhood Christmases there. The Palace is very dear to her, and even in later years, she has been celebrating their Christmases there with his family, Werkelid says.
He and Princess Christina have divided the book about Drottningholm Palace in ten chapters - a journey in time. From the 1600s, when the widow, Hedvig Eleonora, who began the magnificent building of the Palace until the King and Queen Silvia moved in in 1981.
- It will be like peepholes into the Palace's history. The princess knows very much about, for example, art history and the book was an opportunity for her to talk about their favorite portraits and other things she enjoys looking at the Palace, Werkelid continues.
Princess Christina is also very personal in the book. She tells about her wedding on 15 June 1974 with her husband Tord Magnuson.
- She talks about the wedding as never before, and other personal memories of the Palace. It was here that she and her siblings celebrated last Christmas with her mother Princess Sibylla and father prince Gustaf Adolf. Something she has never done before. It's very personal, Werkelid says
The King and Princess Christina's father Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf died barely a month after Christmas in a plane crash at Kastrup.
