Today is July 14 and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrates her 46th birthday. The Crown Princess' birthday is being celebrated at Solliden Castle and at the Borgholm Castle ruin on Öland. The celebration began at Solliden Palace with King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar coming out to the roundabout in front of the palace.
The birthday celebration continued at the Borgholm Castle ruin in the presence of the King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle, Prince Oscar, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill. During that celebration, the Crown Princess presented The Victoria Scholarship 2023. This year's scholarship recipient is ice hockey player Erik Karlsson.
Beautiful dress for a beautiful lady. Victoria is just lovely! And look how tall and pretty Estelle is…and Oscar, what a cutie.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, a very happy birthday to CP Victoria. It looks like she is having the lovely day she deserves.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I love her dress - so summery, feminine and somewhat romantic. I also like P. Estelles dress..and also P. Sophia's and P. Madeline's. All are good style looks for summer. The colour palette of Victoria's immediate family is very pleasing - white, beige, tan and blue always work well together, and little Oscar looks so cute in his summer suit. I only wish Q. Sylvia had worn something lighter and more summery than her usual work style of suit, though the fuchia colour, even thought it's bright, works in the group photos.

ReplyDeleteDès la première photo, j'ai commencé à admirer Victoria dans cette robe aux épaules dégagées. De toutes ces dames, elle est la plus élégante mais j'aurais bien aimé la voir avec les cheveux lâchés mais quand même, bon anniversaire à elle en ce 14 juillet qui est la fête nationale en France !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress for Victoria. The lower neckline and short sleeves make a world of a difference compared to other maxidresses she has worn. This one is structured as well, it is fitted and very flattering, and features some intricate fabric rather than the usual floral print. I think it´s fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSofia has taken a similar approach to this occasion, and her pink dress is good too, though I would prefer a more open neckline on her as well.
Silvia looks good and has gone for a bolder colour which I fully approve, but the style of her outfit is too business-like for the occasion. I know the men are in suits too, but still I would have liked to see the queen in a dress rather than a suit.
Vanessa - I agree with every one of your comments and thank you for writing it so well!!
DeleteIt appears that Princess Estelle now has pierced ears and is proud of her lovely earrings. She is growing up; she's also as tall as her grandmother! And Prince Oscar is adorable in his suit and athletic shoes :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd nice to see his dad giving his 'on duty' uniform a break.
DeleteHe looks smart in his single breasted suit.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful princess. Victoria and Estelle are wearing beautiful summer dresses. Lovely to see Madeleine and Chris attending
ReplyDeleteOh, if only the neckline was even & the lining longer! My goodness, this is a great dress for Victoria. The shape is incredibly flattering on her.

I actually like all the dresses in their different ways in spite of the flounces on Princess Sofia’s and the busy pattern on Princess Madeleine’s. (As an aside, Chris O’Neill has put on a lot of weight so that I hardly recognised him). CP Victoria looks wonderful. The off the shoulder style and plain fabric are perfect for her. Just lovely.

I hardly recognized Mr. O'Neill either.

Agree! Love the dresses on the ladies and I like the skirt on Princess Sofia's dress. Very pretty. Flows well. And it isn't floral. HA! I will take it! Sarah
DeleteVery beautiful family - Princess Estelle and Prince Oskar are as cute as a button though they become Teens?
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference the style of a dress can make! Victoria's dress shows off her beautiful figure. She looks stunning, and so much younger without a high neckline.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the first photo is amazing and shows what a beautiful, intelligent and warmhearted lady Victoria is!
ReplyDeleteEstelle is nearly grown-up now... sigh...
Beautiful photos, the royal family all look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteC.P. Victoria's dress is so pretty and I love how P. Estelle's dress has lace trim too. But I especially love seeing P. Madeleine again. She is so pretty!! But I miss seeing her children.
ReplyDeleteVictoria´s dress is from 2016!
ReplyDeleteGreat family outcome - beauty all around.
ReplyDeleteHej
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lace dresses on mother and daughter. It is nicely structured and fits perfectly, Just wish the hem would be even. This looks as if the back would be trailing in the mud if she had to take her shoes off. Sofia's dress on the other hand is dreadful. High neck, big fluffy sleeve and the big bottom flounce. I see that Madeleine's and the CPs dress also have flounces but these are not so dominant.

I like CP Victoria's dress very much. It could be a wedding dress. Even if the dress is from 2016 it still fits her perfectly. All the ladies are looking good and so are the children. When they were younger I always thought that Princess Madeleine was the prettiest of the two sisters, but now I don't know what it is but it seems to me that her face is different than before. Rose
ReplyDeleteSwedish summer at its best. Victoriadagen is such a lovely gathering. Good outfits as well.
ReplyDeleteVictoria looks gorgeous! Love the dress--it fits like a glove and is very flattering. Looks like she might have added a few highlights in her hair which looks good and softens her regular bun. Estelle looks wonderful--love her dress and how it looks like she is showing off her earrings. Oscar is, as always, so cute--his summer suit and white sneakers is a great look. Sofia looks lovely in her pale pink maxi dress--it fits wonderfully and it might be the best dress she had worn all spring and summer. Marvelous to Madeleine and Chris joining the family. Madeleine looks so beautiful--such a pretty summery dress and, while I cannot fathom how the shoes work with all the cross straps, I love the chunky heels. QS is pretty in her vibrant pink suit--typical classic suit for her. All the gentlemen look quite dapper.

Completely agree! Jane
DeleteThe family looks great. It would have been nice if Estelle's cousins had been there too. Victoria looks very lovely and younger in that dress. I read that Madeleine and family are not moving permanently to Sweden yet, but is nice they are spending Victoria's birthday together.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Victoria's dress. Summery, airy, light, and stunning on her! The rest of the family looks nice as well. Edwina.
ReplyDeleteI like to wish CP Victoria a very happy 46th birthday. Her dress is very lovely. Estelle really has grown into a real beauty, like her Mom. Oscar looks so much like his father The Pss's Sofia and Madeleine look also very nice. I am sure the family enjoyed themselves. css
ReplyDeleteVictoria got a warm hug from Erik Karlsson but there's no picture of that. It was very sweet! Ca
ReplyDeletePrefer Sofias ByTimo dress over Victorias custom H&M dress. Not a big fan of Madeleines dress.
ReplyDeleteI like Princess Sofia's dress the best. Victoria's dress is nice tool. Sofia's dress isn't as thick or as flouncy as Madeleine's is. I love the solid color pink more than the floral too. More straight. Love the longer length. Looks cool and flows well on her.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pink color on Princess Sofia. She looks really good. Crown Princess Victoria does also. Don't like Madeleine's look. Josephine
