Princess Estelle, 12, is making her first official royal mission abroad.
The princess is with Crown Princess Victoria and Queen Silvia during the Paralympics in Paris and Versailles. Princess Estelle wanted to be with her mother and grandmother.
- She thinks this will of course be fun. It's a nice event to attend, and that's how it was worked in the calendars at short notice, says the court's director of the information department Margareta Thorgren.
In the stands there was a happy meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
In the afternoon, the royal trio will also follow parajudo and medalist Nicolina Pernheim Goodrich.

Estelle's joy was unmistakable when Nicolina Pernheim Goodrich won bronze in the Paralympics.
When Nicolina met the royals, Estelle inquired about the judoka's winning technique. Nicolina said she didn't do what she was supposed to do at all. Both Estelle and Victoria wanted to know everything, throw by throw. Estelle wondered how Nicolina enters for a competition like this. Nicolina told that she has been in the Paralympic Village three nights and slept. She has a seven-month-old baby, so she hasn't slept since January. It was a good upload. Nicolina let the royals feel the heavy bronze medal. She went over strategy over and over with her coach, they have been a team ever since 2011 and Estelle says that it is before she was born.

Nervous Queen Silvia in the stands: "You suffer"
Tears came on the podium when Nicolina Pernheim Goodrich received her bronze medal. Afterwards, she met members of the royal family.
- I analyzed what happened, says Estelle.

Its so nice that Crown Princess Victoria brought her mother and daughter along. I bet they're having a great time there! And oh boy, Estelle is so tall now! And she looks so much like Daniel in all the pictures at the Paralympics (I often thought that she had physical traits from both her parents, but she is so Daniel right now!).

I didn't recognize Estelle at first as she has gotten so tall over the summer. She really does look like Daniel!
 
The Embassy of Sweden in Paris hosted a closing event yesterday. Victoria gave a speech to the Swedish Paralympians. She said that she as a Swede and as a princess is very proud of being there and have a chance to meet some of the athletes. She is sorry that she couldn't be there to attend to everybody's competitions. To see and feel their community and what they give to Sweden is huge and Victoria feels so enormously proud. The athletes are role models and Victoria wanted to say warm thanks for what the para-athletes do for Sweden and all young sports enthusiasts in Sweden, all the best in the future.

"Disability and inclusion advocacy groups are regretting the absence of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima at the Paralympic Games. It is a stark contrast to the enthusiasm the royal couple showed at the Olympic Games."
