Great News. Is it known if Princess Christina will attend again this year?

No, not yet. Princess Christina is never listed in the calendar, so her attendance is always reported in media after the Press department has been asked. Lets hope that is well enough to attend.
 
King Carl Gustaf, queen Silvia, crown princess Victoria and prince Daniel gave today an audience to Executive Director Lars Heidenstam from the Nobel Foundation, Vice Chairman Göran K Hansson from the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation, Permanent Secretary Sara Danius from the Swedish Academy and Secretary Thomas Perlmann from the Nobel Committee of Physiology or Medicine.
During the meeting they received a presentation of 2017 Nobel Prize Laureates.

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm
The Nobel Day, December 10, will begin with the traditional Nobel Prize Award Ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall. There will be presentation speeches about the year’s prizes before an audience of about 1,570 guests, who will then watch the Laureates as they receive their medals and diplomas one by one from the hand of H.M. the King of Sweden. The seats closest to the stage are reserved primarily for the Laureates’ families, representatives of the prize-awarding institutions, members of the Swedish government and Riksdag (Parliament) and the diplomatic corps. Seated on the stage will be nearly 100 people. They are members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Nobel Assembly of Karolinska Institutet and the Swedish Academy, members of the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation and previous Laureates.
In front of them will sit the 2017 Laureates and members of Sweden’s Royal Family: H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf, H.M. Queen Silvia, H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria and H.R.H. Prince Daniel.
H.R.H. Prince Carl-Philip and H.R.H. Princess Sofia as well as H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and Mr. Christopher O’Neill will sit in the first row closest to the stage.

The Nobel Banquet in Stockholm
After the ceremony at the Concert Hall, it will be time for the evening’s Nobel Banquet at the Stockholm City Hall. The banquet programme will follow tradition and begin with the entry procession of the Royal Family and other guests of honour down the grand stairway and into the Blue Hall at 19.00. Prior to this, the guests of honour will have been presented to the Royal Family in the Prince’s Gallery of the City Hall. Behind the Master of Ceremonies will be two female attendants followed by H.M. the King with his dinner companion and H.M. the Queen with Professor Carl-Henrik Heldin, Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Foundation and the host of the evening’s banquet. In 1901 the first Nobel Banquet, held in the Hall of Mirrors of the Grand Hôtel, had 113 guests. Today the Nobel Banquet is served to about 1350 guests.

The seating plan for the Table of Honour will be published at 10.00 on December 9th.

Madeleine doesn't attend at the Nobel Banquet on 10th December, the court announced today.

- The princess will not attend the banquet. She has pain in her back because of her pregnancy and the Nobel Banquet is long. Therefore, Princess Madeleine will not attend, says Johan Tegel, information officer at the court.
When was this decided?
- It was decided on these days.
The Princess, however, attends the award ceremony in the Concert Hall just before. And also at the King's dinner at the Palace the following day.
- The Princess attends the Nobel Prize Award ceremony and plans to attend the King's dinner the following day. It's shorter, says Johan Tegel.
Chris O'Neill is scheduled to attend all three activities that the royal family has in connection with Nobel.

I'm surprised that Chris will attend the Nobel banquet. Since he is not member of the Royal House, I would assume he would only be present if Madeleine also attended the banquet, which won't be the case due to pregnancy issues.
 
Lovely surprise to see Victoria with the aquamarine kokoshnik, I love her look! And than, Madeleine is sporting the amthyst tiara again. Yes, she's attending, and looking fabulous!

I have waited for so long to see Victoria with Aquamarine Kokoshnik, I knew that she would look gorgeous with it. And I hoped that she would wear it this year, because this has been "her big year", with her birthday celebrations. Great to see my dream came true!
https://www.svenskdam.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/victoria-tiara.jpg

It looks that there are pearls at Sofia's wedding tiara this evening.

I expect (and love) Madeleine with the aquamarine, but I don't mind Victoria wear it, it looks amazing on her.

(is sofia's wedding tiara in pearl setting? I am not sure)
 
It just occured to me that she has added a diamond riviere to the tiara base. Nice to see her playing around with the jewels.

I'm so glad that Sofia's tiara is so flexible and versatile. As the family grows and the young Princesses get older, it'll be good for Sofia to have a tiara she can do so much with. Fingers crossed they get her sapphires and rubies to add to it as well :flowers:

Love the aquamarine (always!) but not sure about the riviere. Anyway still stunning.

Good to see Sofia's wedding tiara with different stones but I think the tiara doesn't in the best position today. (First convertible tiara for Sweden? btw I guess probably Sofia would stick with this one in future)

The Laureate, professor Rainer Weiss said at his interview, that it was wonderful that at the Prize ceremony was played music by Amy Beach. Female composers are rare, and he never hears music from Amy Beach. And now when he came to Sweden, they play a composition of Amy Beach, it was fantastic. Rainer Weiss is also an amateur pianist.

The photographers are allowed a couple of times during the evening come to take photos close of the royals. I think Victoria knows them all.

Delighted to see Princess Christina and her husband back at the Nobel Ceremony this year.
 
What a pity that there are no official pictures from the Nobel Laureates together with the royal family.
 
One thing is for sure, the standard of the hairdressers of the srf is unsurpassed, what a great work they do on such an evening!

Last year the royal family posed with the Laureates and their families before the King's Dinner for the Nobel Laureates, and those photos were published.

Beautiful all the princesses ! They are great ! I love it !
 
Did Madeleine skip the banquet?

Good to see princess Christina! I hope she won't repeat this tiara as it doesn't work at all but it probably is a light-weight tiara, so that could be a good reason for this odd choice.

Yes, the court told to the press already on 6th December, that Madeleine doesn't attend at the banquet and it was told also at this thread. Madeleine has pain on her back due to her pregnancy and the four hours long banquet would have been too tough for her.

The Banquet ended just after 23.00, and the royal family left before midnight. Carl Philip, Sofia and Chris left at the same car.
