King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden are paying a State Visit to Canada on 18–20 November 2025 at the invitation of the Governor General of Canada, Mary Simon. The three-day visit will take place in Ottawa and Montreal. Due to health issues, Governor General Mary Simon, who was unable to attend the welcome ceremony, is being represented by Richard Wagner, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
The first day of the State Visit began with Chief Justice Richard Wagner welcoming King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia at the Governor General’s official residence, Rideau Hall. Later, the King and Queen took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the National War Memorial, a monument honoring Canadians who have served their country. In the evening, the Canadian hosts held a state banquet at Rideau Hall in honor of the King and Queen.
All outfits really good but the evening dress just perfect!

DeleteEbba Busch looks elegant!
ReplyDeleteWho?
DeleteQueen Silvia has legs to die for. This skirt length should be laid down in the constitution ... well OK - but you see why? - She looks impeccable, in both outfits. At first, I was wondering about that little perky black hat, but in the end, Silvia is so pretty as a whole, the coat, the colour, the length!!, the shoes, the jewelry - everything. The blue velvet (?) evening gown is perfection too. Such a simple cut, following the boy contours, and what a magnificent figure she has. I am all happy to see her so enchanting.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree on all points. Looking forward to the rest of the programme.
DeleteAs a proud Canadian, I am delighted to see the King and Queen visit us. Silvia’s red dress and blue gown are both beautiful on her, and appropriate for this time of year in Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteThe blue dress...wow! Just wow! Stunning woman!
ReplyDeleteWow that blue velvet dress, my favourite colour. The motif, fit so elegant. Mrs. Carney looks great, lovely fit, style. The men look dapper. No one wears a suit quite like the king.
ReplyDeleteBoth Q.Sylvia and our PM's wife Mrs. Diana Carney look wonderful in their evening gowns. Their dresses suit their height and figure perfectly.

Blue velvet gown, red silk coat, and a fur-trimmed coat….perfection from the Queen!!! Just wow. The King also looks dapper as usual. Looking forward to more photos in the coming days.
ReplyDeleteLe roi est classe à chaque fois, très élégant.
ReplyDeleteLa reine déçoit rarement, elle est souvent élégante et j'admire toujours sa sveltesse. Sa coiffure est également impeccable.
Sa cape lui va très bien, idéale pour affronter le froid.
La robe-manteau rouge est bien choisie, en l'honneur du drapeau canadien.
Sa tenue de soirée est belle, j'aime à la fois le velours et la couleur, mais je l'aurais préférée un peu plus sobre, avec moins de broderies.
Elle me fait penser à celle que porte l'impératrice du Japon, c'est un peu le même bleu.
