    J'aime beaucoup voir la reine avec des collants noirs fins portés dans des bottines. Cerise sur le gâteau, sa veste dans un style "Chanel" mais je ne suis toujours pas fan du noeud Lavallière ; élégante quand même !

    A smart jacket and skirt for the sombre occasion but the shooties ruin the outfit for me.

    Wonderful to see the Swedish royals visible support for Holocaust Memorial Day. The Queen’s outfit is as smart as usual but sadly it looks like she’s borrowed Victoria’s shooties 🙀

      … a sensible choice when it’s slushy and cold outside. I lived in Stockholm as a kid; I thoroughly endorse sensible winter shoes! - AnneLise

    Nice outfit. I wonder what she has done different to her hair, looks shorter, poofier, and wish she would let it go a more natural colour for her age. Edwina

    She looks so rested. Nice outfit too. A very somber Remembrance Day. The WORLD should never forget. If we do, we are condemned to repeat it again. The World is on fire and what is done to stop it NOTHING. Maybe we should all look at our self's, deep into our hearts and ask ourselves. Do we want that for our children and grandchildren????? I for one must say NO. css

      What do you suggest to STOP it ? As long as there will be bad, crazy and incapable people among the leaders of the world, as long there will exist wars, genocide, etc... Of course we don't want that for our children or grandchildren. None of my ancestors were able to stop it : my grandparents survived 2 world wars. My parents survived 1 world war. They did not want it for their children and grandchildren and family either. But what could they do, what can we do ? We are not the people who have the power, the money, the knowledge... to do it.

    The outfit looks fabulous but the boots are a no. I don't like this look.

    Those booties are a sensible and stylish choice during the cold winter months when you have to walk both outdoors and indoors and you don't want to have the hassle of changing your shoes.

      Agree @ -B . A sensible and stylish choice.
      Maybe not the most elegant footwear but they certainly do a good job when it’s cold indoors and slushy outside.

      @deadeggs, just not for Queen Sylvia especially wearing a dress, perhaps they would look better with pants!

    The most of you call them "shooties". I did not know that word. We always talk about "booties", which I find more logic. Little boots = booties. I like them. Where I am from, young people always wear them during Winter with black opaque tights and a dress or skirt. I only wear them with trousers. I prefer long boots with skirts and dresses. Maybe Queen Sylvia should also wear them with opaque tights. O well, she must wear what she finds the most comfortable and warm during a cold Winter.

    I do not care for the boots, but love the jacket!

    Queen SIlvia is very down-to-earth. Like Camilla. Perhaps the age. Relaxed, unpretentious....She visited Germany a few days ago, unnoticed, and stopped at a mental health clinic only because out of interest. She was recognised by workmen and invited for a coffee, which she accepted. Who of the other royals would have done that? Just a great woman. Frieda

      Maybe she took the opportunity to visit some relatives in Germany.
