The Nobel Prize 2002 - 2012

[Rascal]

I forgot to add my compliments to the royal ladies.

Although I didn't really care for the gown, I thought Christina looked good (I liked her hair and the tiara, though small, doesn't disappear in the hairstyle - better than previous years after height was added to the base.)

Something weird was going on with Silvia's hair again, only on her right side this year. It only showed from the side. It looked like they put hairspray as she was driving in a convertible. But from the front and back it looked okay. But she looked really good.

IMHO Victoria looked stunning tonight. Nothing to nitpick, nothing to criticize, and I LOVED that the back of the gown was open...very sexy without being trashy. Without the tiara she looked like something out of the 1940s, very sophisticated and glamorous.

BTW...I too was wrong in thinking there would be one row of seating for the royal family. It did seem odd that Daniel was in the back, but it could also have been meant to clearly define Victoria's precedence and future responsibility at this function when she is the sovereign.

I didn't see the back- ooo- does anyone have a shot of it? And pardon my ignorance, who is Christina?

I think you are correct LadyFinn. The Nobel site doesn't have a link for broadcast of the banquet, but I'll check back. From what I understand SVT will broadcast live but the feed is blocked outside of Sweden.

What a pity! Last year I so much enjoyed watching the banquett.

I also don'tunderstand it as last year i watched it on SVT. But the nobelprize website adds the Banquet Video. They have also the one from last year now but unrtunately the don't show it live.

She is looking absolutely stunning, the dress, the hair, simply WONDERFUL....
... and additionally there is a special glam in her eyes.... I have the impression, she knows something, we do not yet know. And this also fits with her change in the body shape, more breast & belly.....

Bye Bine

Me too! And I have been saying on this forum to lets leave it and wait for an announcement, however I am am beginning to think she might be pregnant!

 

[dazzling]

I must say Victoria looked stunning in that dress & the tiara. Pity Madeleine was not there.

Prince Daniel is a true gentleman. Did you notice how he helped the lady to his right side with the chair after the toast for the King? Very kind and friendly.

The lovely lady was Sumiri Negishi, wife of Cheistry laureate Ei-ichi Negishi.

On the right side of table 20, that's Count Björn, one of the Mainau-relatives, isn't it?

 

[agami.pearl]

As always the Nobel ceremony is full of splendor and glitter. I watched it with big pleasure. Ladies look great (Victoria is gloving), men too (even without the tiaras ). I only miss Madeleine.

I missed Madeleine too, even though I didn't expect that. All the laureates were men. They should have needed one more princess to lead them to the table at the banquet.

Is it just the makeup that makes Silvia's eyes look somehow different than usually?

This is lovely pic of Victoria: http://svenskdam.se/wp-content/gallery/vid-bordet-nobel/victoria.jpg

I think the Queen has too much make-up for a lady in her mid 60s - less would have been more here!
And I think her past plastic surgeries are quite plain to see by now...

 

[mattep74]

Me too! And I have been saying on this forum to lets leave it and wait for an announcement, however I am am beginning to think she might be pregnant!

The timing of the announcement will depend on wether Victoria likes Nina Eldh more than the new presssecretary that starts on January 1st.

GAHHHHH. Johan Lindwall on SVT

 

[PrincessJenni]

Johan Lindwall... :G
Now I go to sleep, I'm heading to Italy tomorrow.
Hopefully I'll be able to see more pictures from there.

 

[LadyFinn]

Johan T Lindwall said that he hopes that prince Daniel breaks the tradition and takes Victoria to dance tonight. The royals never dance at the banquet.
