Interview with Queen Silvia on the birth of her 5th grandchild. "It’s incredible, I’m so glad indeed. I was sitting here in an important meeting. It was a bit difficult to communicate, but I knew something was going on. It was very difficult to speak and it was very difficult to hear.” The Queen says she doesn’t know the sex, name and hasn’t received a picture yet.
