Queen Silvia spoke about her summer with a lot of time with the grandchildren and said they are very funny and friendly - cute! It's also been the first summer for Madeleine's children as full-time residents in Sweden.
- It's exciting, but they love Sweden. The two oldest speak good Swedish, Adrienne, she is a bit shy but that will come.
This week the children have spent their first days in Swedish school.
- It's going well. It is clear that you are always nervous, wondering how it will be when you arrive at a new school, but it went great.

Queen Silvia was awarded the Dr. Carl Linder Prize today in Künzelsau. She has been particularly committed to helping children for many years and was honored for her social commitment.

Queen Silvia goes where others only send money, for example to children who have been abused in the worst possible way, said former Federal President Joachim Gauck in his laudation.
The Queen thanked for the award and dedicated it to all of society's invisible heroes who are actively involved. She wishes for a world in which everyone can live in dignity and security.
