On September 19, 2025, students who participated in the 2025 Mayflower fundraising campaign and collected the highest amount of donations visited the Royal Palace to receive their diplomas from Queen Silvia. Students from Akalla School in Stockholm received diplomas for Newcomer of the Year. Students from Vasa Real in Stockholm were awarded Climber of the Year, while Vaksala School in Uppsala received Rising Star of the Year.
Mayflower (Majblomman) was founded in 1907 and is Sweden’s largest child welfare organization. The fundraising campaign takes place over two weeks, after which Mayflower continues to support children throughout the year in various ways, in order to alleviate the effects of child poverty and financial vulnerability. This is done through direct grants to individual children, additional support to schools and associations, advocacy, public education, research, and summer activities.
Is that a Zara jacket HMQ is wearing? It works wonderfully with the blouce and trouser. I think box jacket are always better suited with a trouser rather than a skirt/dress.

This is how you arrange a collared blouse if you wear a suit jacket ... It is not my favourite style, collar+lapel - but at least here it is tidy and well-arranged, not tucked awkwardly under the jacket.
ReplyDeleteEncore une tenue fort élégante

I really like Q Silvia's hair with the headband like this. Gorgeous white jacket, she really knows how to put an outfit together.

Agreed. Great look for the Queen - headband is so cool!
DeleteI like the look of her hair with the band.
ReplyDeletei do too. shows her beautiful face. i see a resemblance to her granddaughter Estelle.
DeleteThis organisation really helps all this poor children in Sweden!
ReplyDeleteQue d'élégance chez la Reine dans cette tenue ; elle a su rajouter à sa coiffure un léger serre-tête !
ReplyDeleteWonderful outfit and love the pattern of the blouse. She’s a fabulous representative for Sweden!
ReplyDeleteI can never understand why very wealthy families fund raise taking money from other people. Why not give their own money instead?
ReplyDeleteBecause the royal family of any country can’t feed and cloth and medicate all the needy people in their country on their own. It takes the whole community to work together to support each other. QSilvia is raising awareness and rewarding good work.
DeleteAmazing lady, she dresses so beautifully and has stayed so slim ( I am old so I can say that!) and maybe having daughters has helped her stay on trend. LRB
ReplyDeleteWe have a great Queen in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteThe blouse and white jacket are well combined, the collar looks brilliant, all well co ordinated. She looks lovely in this ensemble, very elegant.
ReplyDeleteSame here, @ Ava.
DeleteThe Queen looks lovely.
