The world’s first—and Sweden’s only—National City Park is celebrating its 30th anniversary. In 1995, King Carl XVI Gustaf officially opened the park. On May 19, 2025, King Carl Gustaf and Crown Princess Victoria attended the 30th anniversary celebration at Ulriksdal Palace in Solna. In connection with the anniversary, an excursion was also organized in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature.
On May 19, 1995, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden inaugurated the world’s first national city park by releasing three doves from Ulriksdal Palace in Solna. The doves were named Värna, Vårda, and Visa ("Protect," "Preserve," and "Display"), reflecting the park’s three guiding principles. The park is open 24 hours a day, all year round.
The Royal National City Park stretches from Ulriksdal and Sörentorp in the north to Djurgården and Fjäderholmarna in the south, spanning the municipalities of Solna, Stockholm, and Lidingö. In total, the park covers an area of 27 km²—nearly eight times the size of New York’s Central Park. It holds significant natural and cultural value, with over 800 species of flowering plants, 100 bird species, four royal palaces, and several museums.
CP Victoria is one of the few princesses who looks good with her hair in a middle part. The side part is looking good too (last pic. on the left). I prefer her jacket with the beige trousers. She always looks good in a sporty outfit : the bag + the trainers complete her outfit. I also like King Carl Gustav's jacket. He needs a haircut (pic. N° 7). I think I can say that about his hair. He is a man not a princess with long (or too long) hair.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 16:01, I agree what you say about Victoria's hair and clothes. But I desagree about the king's hair. He has always had a little bit longer hair in the neck and he will keep it that way, it's his signature hair style. He likes it and it looks good on him like that. This "hair issue" is becoming hilarious, all women and men are entitled to their own hair styles just like you and me.
DeleteZucchina there is no dispute that everyone can wear their hair the way they like.

DeleteI knew someone would not like my comment. I know king Carl-Gustav had his hair always longer since he was a young prince. But now it is not beautiful anymore (pic N°7). He has long curls on one side of his neck. To me it looks not very good. The hair is becoming hilarious. Not the fact that I am talking about. I never said anything on the queens and/or princesses. They can do all kind of things with their hair : updo's, let it loose, pony-tails, etc... For a (old)man it is different. I see King Charles also had a haircut in his neck (Chelsea flower show). It was time he had his neck cleaned up to. Hair as well for ladies as for men is part of how they look. Someone with the most beautiful clothes and hair that is not well looked after is not looking good. It all started with Queen Maxima, afterwards the commenters realized she was not the only one with bad hair.
Anon at 07:14, I think that the king looks charming with his grey curlies in the neck. Different opinions from different people, it's quite ok for me.
DeleteIdée judicieuse que de porter ce blazer à carreaux avec un pantalon gris pâe et top blanc !
ReplyDeleteI really like this look on the princess, well proportioned jacket. Nice colour.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit fits well and looks appropriate for the day out with the King, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe King looks great! Handsome jacket and tie combo.

Victoria looks good, but the king looks spiffy!! And what I love the most is the way Victoria looks at her father, love, tender, respect so many nice gestures, it's just nice to see.

I usually comment on ladies fashion, but this time The King stole the show. Very well styled and he looks really great.
ReplyDeleteThe Crown Princess has thankfully teamed her checker blazer with plain trousers and top this time. Now the checkered pattern don't look so overwhelming. Victoria's hairstyle seem to be more softer and less severe which is very flattering. Father and daughter duo both look great and seemed to enjoy their day outdoors during this wonderful springtime.
