In her lecture, Linda Berglund said that increased pressure on the Swedish forest is seen through increasing demand for raw materials and renewable energy, other ecosystem services are gaining value and climate change.

Isn't these dinners an occasion where the female guests and the royals could have evening dresses as well as cocktail dresses? I seem to remember that one of the royal ladies usually wears a shorter dress, but perhaps I'm mixing things up here?

It is the Sweden dinner (Sverigemiddag) where the female guests can have evening dresses as well as cocktail dresses. Victoria wore this dress she has tonight at the Sweden dinner last September. Then both she and queen Silvia had evening dresses. All royal ladies had evening dresses also at the Sweden dinner in September 2016. In Sweden dinner 2015 Sofia had cocktail dress, queen Silvia and Victoria had evening dresses. In 2014 and 2013 Victoria had cocktail dress and queen Silvia evening dress. At Sweden dinners the men wear black tie.

At these official dinners (representationsmiddag) the dress code is always white tie and women wear evening dresses.
There is always one Sweden dinner in a year, and 2 or 3 official dinners.

"Today, the King and Crown Princess visited the Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment's head office on Lovön, outside of Stockholm, to inform themselves about the agency's activities.

FRA's Director General Dag Hartelius described the King and Crown Princess the development of the Authority and the challenges facing FRA in the coming years. Superintendent Charlotta Gustafsson also participated in the visit."

From the official dinner:
Magda Gad's conversation with the Crown Princess at the Palace

Magda Gad, Expressen's War Correspondent, was one of the guests at the Royal Couple's official dinner this week.
- It was a very solemn and stylish dinner at the Palace in beautiful surroundings with good food and exciting company, she says.
The guest list contained individuals from industry as well as politics and media and, on Thursday evening, Magda Gad received a private chat with both the king and the crown princess.
Talked about the fake murder of Ukrainian journalist
The king and Magda Gad talked about the fake murder of Russian journalist Arkadij Babtjenko when the king wondered what her theory of the whole was.
- He stated that he appreciates journalism that takes time, it is better that it goes slowly and gets right than it goes fast and gets wrong. The king also thought that if a journalist is doubtful about what actually happened then this should be said that it only gets more confidence if the report tells that it may be in one way but that it may also be in the other way and that what is correct, you do not know yet, Magda Gad says about the conversation with the king.
"The Crown Princess asked how people have it in the war"
At the same time, the Crown Princess asked questions about how the people in the middle of war live, and whom Magda Gad visits during her reports:
- The Crown Princess asked a lot about how the people are having it in the war, how the situation is in Syria today, how much land IS controls and how I prepare for my assignments. When I told about my friend Nejlikan in Raqqa and that she lost her barely two-year-old daughter in a bombing she became noticeably touched, said Magda Gad.
- Everyone had very many questions about my work, which is obviously appreciated. It is a receipt that I have reached it, she concludes.

King Carl Gustaf, queen Silvia, Victoria and Daniel attend this afternoon at the inauguration of the Tsunami memorial in the National City Park in Blockhusudden at Royal Djurgården in Stockholm. Also prime minister Stefan Löfven attends at the inauguration. Lea Porsager is the artist behind Gravitational Ripples which became the winning contributor in an international art contest on the design of the memorial.
The completion of memorial monument is now in a final stage. The work is still covered in a green cellulose cloth containing grass seeds and herbs. During the summer, the cloth will molder away, the grass grows and the work will become a green and flourishing place.

King Carl Gustaf said in his speech among other things:
"We carry our memories with us always wherever we go. Yet it can mean a lot to have a place to go to remember. (...) It feels good that the Royal Djurgården land can be used for this purpose. And I I'm honored to be here today with you. Dear friends! I hope this memorial monument will be a place for many to visit - an opportunity for reflection. A place for you. "

Indeed, I have tried to figure out when it will be, but it is difficult. In previous years the Riksdagssupé has taken place in late October or early November.

Heaven knows when we'll have a settled situation in Riksdagen and a government after the election this year. It's building up to be a stormy second half of the year.

King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia attend tomorrow afternoon in Solliden at the presentation of Årets Ölänning (The Öland Inhabitant of the Year) 2018 - Crown princess Victoria. King Carl Gustaf delivers the diploma, the Solliden Prize and flowers to Victoria.
The jury's reasoning for choosing Victoria as this year's Öland Inhabitant of the Year was:
"Throughout her life in words and actions, the award winner of the year has expressed her love for Öland, a place where she feels at home. Her earthly commitment to the province and people contributes strongly to the island's development and attractiveness. With her presence and vigor, she creates interest and attention for Öland, both nationally and internationally. Her birthday, July 14, has been for a long time celebrated as Öland's own national day."
Victoria gave a short written statement:
- I'm honored and happy to receive this award. Öland is a special place for me and my family. It feels nice to showcase Öland with all the richness and special features that are characteristic to the island.

Svensk Damtidning and Barometern show the event live. The broadcast starts at 14.45 and the event at 15.00. Johan T Lindwall, the editor-in-chief of Svensk Damtidning, looks forward to tomorrow.
- That Crown Princess Victoria has been chosen as The Öland Inhabitant of the Year is a big deal locally on Öland, but also great for everyone who follows Svensk Damtidning and our reporting of royals. We give now everyone who can't be in place on Öland the opportunity to still follow the whole celebration at Svensk Damtidning.
Lindwall says that Svensk Damtidning's readers can expect more similar live broadcasts and other fun in the future.
- I am extremely pleased to be able to invite our readers to this cooperation with Barometern. This is just one of many collaborations that Svensk Damtidning is aiming for in terms of royal material.

Victoria was officially named as Årets Ölänning (the Öland Inhibitant of the Year) 2018 in a ceremony in Solliden. Victoria got a diploma and the Solliden Prize, a glass bowl from Kosta Boda called "Globe" from her father. The Öland Inhabitant of the Year is an award awarded by a jury appointed by the newspaper Barometern and Sveriges Radio P4 Kalmar. The first Öland Inhabitant of the Year was chosen in 1980.

- It is obviously very funny for me to hand this over to the Crown Princess. The reasoning is well expressed, that's exactly what it's about. Very well done, says the king.
Then it was the Crown Princess's turn to speak.
- I would like to thank Öland. It is so that I've been here all my life, and I long to return. I can reveal that when I cross the Öland Bridge and just as I cross the bridge, it's "Jippie". Then there is always sorrow as I go back to the mainland. Öland is and remains a fantastic special place not only for me but also for my own little family, which I have brought here. It's a need simply to get here, said Victoria.

Johan T Lindwall, the editor-in-chief of Svensk Damtidning:
Victoria + Öland = True. Yes, it's really so and now the Crown Princess has got the ultimate proof of it when she became the Öland Inhabitant of the Year today.
Here on Öland, Crown Princess Victoria has spent all her childhood summers and it was here she came in the summer of 1977, just a few weeks old. Victoria and Daniel have also made Solliden to their vacation paradise in their relatively newly built Villa Skönviken, just a few hundred meters from Kalmarsund, and a couple of minutes walk from Solliden Palace.
Crown Princess Victoria was an obvious choice as The Öland Inhabitant of the Year. Dad King received himself the 1996 prize and could proudly hand it out to daughter Victoria. Princess Estelle is in the future a given choice for the same price as mom and grandfather.
Summer has begun for Victoria and next week we are many who are on Öland to celebrate the world's best crown princess.

- The Crown Princess is honored to receive this award. She is very grateful to be on Öland where she spent all her summers in principle. The fact that the king delivered the award makes it extra special, of course, says Margareta Thorgren.

- They wanted to thank and support all the people who worked in many different ways, who have come from their holidays and have just been fantastic, says Margareta Thorgren.

They also met firemen who came from Finland, Poland and Denmark to assist in extinguishing work.
