But Sweden already won a gold medal in the swimming category (I saw it live on TV). That hope is for the 2nd gold medal now.King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia are on their summer holiday. They attended last Sunday July 28 the traditional Enthusiast Vehicle Exhibition at the Solliden Palace Park.
Obviously they prefer to attend the end of the Olympics, when athletics have started and the reigning Olympic champions Armand Duplantis (the biggest gold medal hope for Sweden) and Daniel Ståhl will compete.
Most of the other royal houses are on holidays too but have managed to make appearances,they could have sent someone to the opening at least.King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia are on their summer holiday.

Would make sense, Anne has an engagement in Edinburgh on 5th August so potentially William (possibly with Catherine) could be taking up the royal baton while she is away.It's being reported that Prince William will attend the climbing events next week, and that Catherine may accompany him if she feels well enough.
But most of these royals (except Spain) will not come back now that they have left.Queen Letizia today in Paris

I was a bit surprised to see that none of the events Mary has been attending have been put on the Danish Royal social media … I guess she is there as a private person now and not in any official capacity.
She must be having a great time with her friends though, no husband, no kids.
Even Amber is in Paris … she has been posting photos and videos … so a lot of freedom away from all the formality of her Danish life.
And Jeremy Rockliff is the Premier of Tasmania, so nice of him to showcase two Tassie lasses.this is awesome. And yes why not, some days with her best girlfriends. We all need it.
I dont think she lacks for freedom in Denmark though, two of the friends in Paris with her are Danish.
Glad they got to meet, go Australia!

That's so wonderful!! Mary visited the Australian athletes at the village..as did Frederik and spent time talking with them and taking photos and lovely to see Mary there to watch the Australians in swimming. Nice to see them getting some royal support.this is awesome. And yes why not, some days with her best girlfriends. We all need it.

Most of those attending the opening have done both and some are still there.It is much more important to come to watch the athletes competing, than attend the opening. The opening is much ado about nothing.
Leonor and Sofia are an absolute credit to their parents and are thoroughly enjoying flying solo and have excelled at it too.I had to laugh at the video of Letizia with Alcaraz after his game. They were talking like a couple of friends, with Letizia asking him questions like the journalist she once was.
I'm really enjoying seeing the Spanish Royal family supporting their athletes during the whole of the Olympic competition. It's been a while since the could - the Spanish royal family is still small but Leonor and Sofia are making a difference by flying solo.
