      So the fact that she was a lesbian is the most important thing to you? Not that she was one of Sweden's greatest writers?
      Incidentally, I thought this was a royal fashion blog and not about gossip.

      to AA, In Anon 13.36 comment, surely the fact that she got the Nobel prize indicates she was a great writer? We do not need to order our comments in order.
      I like Queen Silvia's outfit. She is looking good

    I like Queen Sylvia's black jacket, but sequeens on the trousers is not necessary for me. I'd prefer black plain trousers in a beautiful wool crepe or crepe in general.

    a question for the fashion sleuths... is that item in Sylvia's hand a minaudiere? she's not carrying a clutch...it looks VERY interesting, like a set of books. I wish there were more photos... Lyra.

    The Queen looks so glamorous, I love her ensemble. Her hair looks gorgeous. The interesting red colored evening clutch adding a splash of color, this looks great. They are such a stylish royal couple. The King, wow! he wears this tux so well, fits him perfectly. He has a good tailor!
