A critical blog about Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the rest of the British royal family
I’ve mostly not been paying attention to what’s been happening over in Sweden for the last couple weeks, so here is a royal round up of a few of the recent goings on of Princess Madeleine and Crown Princess Victoria.
Here is a little royal round up of some things that have been happening. Prince William officially left his job with the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), the Swedish royal family color-coordinated in blue for their summer photo, and the Belgian royal family color-coordinated in purples for National Day.
I’m still catching up on stuff from last week before the Cambridge tour starts later today. So here is a post about Crown Princess Victoria‘s 40th birthday celebrations in Sweden.
Today, June 15, is Prince Nicolas‘ 2nd birthday and the Swedish court released photos to mark the occasion. I’m also including photos of Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar which were released to mark National Day, and Princess Madeleine‘s wedding anniversary message.
In this royal round up, I’ve got an appearances update from Kate Middleton and Prince Harry, Sophie, Countess of Wessex being adorable with some kids, New Years courts from Queen Letizia and Crown Princess Mary, and some cute photos that Princess Madeleine shared.
The annual Aret med Kungafamiljen (A Year with the Royal Family) aired on SVT last week. The program featured footage of the Swedish royal family throughout the year, as well as interviews with all of the royals, including: Crown Princess Victoria, Princess Madeleine, and Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia.
Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Estelle received the firs at the Royal Palace on December 14.
Yesterday, September 13, was the opening of the Swedish parliament, Riksdag, which King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, and Princess Madeleine attended. I’m also including photos of Madeleine and Silvia showing a little girl around the Royal Palace in connection with Min Stora Dag, and photos of Victoria and Princess Estelle at an event on Sunday.
Prince Alexander‘s Christening was yesterday, September 9, at the Royal Chapel at Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm. If you haven’t watched the ceremony yet and would like to do so, you can view it here. With all the royal children in attendance, there were a lot of Swedish royals: King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle, Prince Oscar, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Alexander of course, Princess Madeleine, Chris O’Neill, Princess Leonore, and Prince Nicolas.
The Swedish royal court released two new photos of Prince Alexander, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia‘s son, ahead of his September 9 baptism.
