    Love Victoria’s dress…it looks in bloom with the beautiful colors and is very spring like. Of course there is her wonderful smile! Queen Sylvia also looks very nice with the luscious amethyst (I think?) tiara. Princess Christina is a quite elegant and charming lady. Princess Sofia must be home with the new baby. The gentleman all look dapper though the king looks a bit grumpy. (I know he’s not but he does have some interesting expressions!)

      The King of Sweden is a grumpy man. Privately I guess he can be fun but not in public. A

      He does look grumpy most of the time! He looks like an unpleasant man, but I could be wrong.

    Everyone looks fabulous. I personally adore florals so I love all that the Royal ladies are wearing interesting versions of floral patterns.

    1. Agree with you, Cinci. In spite of florals supposedly being out of fashion at the moment, these gowns illustrate why they remain a great choice.

    I think they all look wonderful. Q.Silvia’s amethyst jewels are a perfect complement for her dress, CPV’s floral gown fits her beautifully, and P. Cristina’s long coat is very striking over her simple black gown. (V.M.)

    Wow love all the dresses. I like the neckline on P Victoria. The queen with her amethyst jewels, perfect. P. Christina look wonderful. Nice floral theme for all three. And the men all so handsome.

    I loved Victoria's dress when she first wore it some years ago and still love it now as well. It's so pretty and suits her so well. Sylvia's dress is nice too, and I really like P.Christina's long sparkly coat over the black column gown. All three ladies look splendid!

      I remember seeing this lovely gown before. I think it was part of several photos released on a special occasion (?) and CP Victoria left her hair loose and long to her shoulders. I thought she looked amazing.

      You are correct. It was for their 10th wedding anniversary. Her hair was down and looked beautiful.

    It is good to see Victoria in this gown again. I have always thought it is very beautiful, and one of her best gowns. I find myself really liking Christina's gown. It is very becoming on a woman of her age. I am not as fond of Silvia's. It has a less formal feel to me. The floral theme of all the gowns seems to usher in Spring.

    Sofia is on her maternity leave, and she will be for the next 18 months.
    So long is the maternity leave in Sweden!

      Yes, Swedish parental leave is incredibly generous! The long maternity leave is a huge benefit for parents, allowing them to spend quality time with their child during the early stages of life. It's one of the reasons Sweden is known for supporting work-life balance. The system also promotes shared responsibility between parents, as both mothers and fathers can share the leave. This long period allows parents to bond with their child, and it also gives them time to adjust to the challenges of parenting. Plus, the financial support during this leave helps reduce stress for families. It's definitely a fantastic benefit for both Sofia and her family! ❤️

    CP Victoria looks gorgeous in this dress.
    It is funny. Normally the participants at a banquet are coming in and are greeting the members of the royal family. Now the royal family is coming in and start greeting the participants who are awaiting them (pics 8 & 9).

    Queen Silvia dress with the amethyst jewellery is lovely.
    CP Victoria has worn this dress a few times and it’s still as beautiful as the first time she wore it. I wish she’d wear a brighter lipstick or blush.
    Lowri.

    Victoria looks stunning. The Q looks good not a fan of the bottom part of the gown. The jewels are fantastic.

      Thank you, Ava.
      You brought to my attention something I didn't notice, namely Q.Silvia's blackberry amethyst jewels.
      You know, amethyst is my favourite gemstone together with sapphire..
      It could sound strange but I see amethyst and sapphire as spiritual gemstones as they call to my mind deeper meanings.
      It's s hard to explain, though.
      I have a beautiful and massive amethyst necklace I once bought from a Pakistani artist though I seldom wear it.
      It has a particular light and colours which grip me, mesmerizing, so as to say.

    2. P the original. Oh, aren't they divine. Beautiful blackberry amethyst stones, gorgeous. Oh yes, I love them as well. You need to get the amethyst necklace out and wear it!! I can only imagine how beautiful it is. Hugs!

    I'm so glad to see the Swedish Royal family in full regalia.
    I like all of them but Victoria's evening gown with its spectacular train steals the show for sure.
    She really looks magnificent.
    It's just a glimpse of the smashing Queen she will make one day.
    Brava!👍👏👏
