Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden completed her officer training with a period spent in the Army during the winter of 2026. The Swedish Armed Forces and the Royal Court released photographs from the training on March 16, 2026. During 2024–2025, the Crown Princess completed the Special Officer Training Programme at the Swedish Defence University. In the spring of 2025, she was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant.
Following her formal officer training, and in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Swedish Armed Forces’ activities, the Crown Princess undertook advanced training with the Air Force during the autumn of 2025. At the beginning of 2026, through practical exercises with Army units, Crown Princess Victoria received tactical training at different levels.
Crown Princess Victoria participated in the training of conscripts at the Norrbotten Brigade and took part in the planning of national security operations at the 13th Security Battalion of the Life Guards. At the Land Warfare School, Crown Princess Victoria had the opportunity to observe and test how the modern Army trains and develops.
In addition to training and participation in operational activities, the Crown Princess visited the Army Staff in Enkรถping for discussions with the Army leadership regarding the Army’s ongoing development and future.
Abroad, the Crown Princess also took part in activities with the 71st Battalion in Latvia as part of Sweden’s troop contribution to NATO forces in the Baltic region. During the visit to Latvia, she also visited the first Swedish soldiers’ home abroad at Camp Valdemar in ฤdaลพi.

ReplyDeleteLa princesse sait montrer beaucoup d’aptitudes !
ReplyDeleteWell deserved, she looks great in the uniform
ReplyDeleteShe does! And she takes her job very seriously.
DeleteThank you for being a role model - so important - well done.
ReplyDeleteIn fact she has no choice. One day when she will be Queen of Sweden and the head of the defense forces of her country. Due to the circumstances all over Europe and the world, she prepares herself for that role. I wish her a lot of courage.
DeleteThe King/Queen of Sweden has no military command function, as far as I know. It is a pure ceremonial role. All the more valuable what Victoria is doing.
ReplyDeleteWhat would have seemed so useless a few years (in fact even a few months) ago, appears to be critically important in the world’s current situation. Good for her to make the effort and finish all required steps. Let’s hope she will never have to use any of the knowledge or skills she learnt.
