On March 25, 2026, Queen Silvia and Princess Madeleine attended a board meeting of the World Childhood Foundation held at the Royal Palace of Stockholm. At the meeting, Helena Nyström, Country Manager for ABB Sweden, and Johanna Minding Kriisa, CEO of Volvo Car Sweden, were elected as new board members. No remuneration is paid to the board.
ABB is one of Childhood’s co-founders and has, since its inception, maintained a long-term and strong commitment to preventing sexual abuse of children. Volvo Car Sweden has been a partner of Childhood since 2003. Queen Silvia founded the World Childhood Foundation in 1999. Princess Madeleine has served as a member of Childhood’s Board of Directors since February 2016. For the occasion, Madeleine wore a black jacket by Veronica Beard.
Both ladies beautiful, but I like how the Queen wears her nice little jacket (yes, hot love here for nice little collarfree jackets). Look at the sleeves: not full length, what I like anyway, but Silvia uses that little space for the cuffs of her shirt. And it gives freshness to the whole outfit. The cuteness of it! And Queen of Tastefulness what she is: she finds the button that can be closed with the others left open, without looking unfinished.
ReplyDeleteQueen and Pss look very nice. I like the longer jacket from Madelaine and nice fit. Great job commitment from the Queen for childhood foundation. The rights and safety of children around the world is very important. Thank you for your hard work YM.

The Royal ladies both look well groomed, stylish and smart. The jacket worn by the Princess is well made, the pockets and buttons are eye catching on the dark colored fabric. I love the blouse worn with the Queen's jacket.
ReplyDeleteOne collar in one collar out ? Oops ! Anyone else younger would have been slated for this
ReplyDeleteHi there, I am the one who usually "slates" collars and necklines stuffed *under* - and therefore often ruined - by jackets :-). But this (type of) collar combined with this collarless jacket is not only meant to be worn *over* the jacket, it also has a design that makes it possible in a clean way. So I saw it and deemed it to be an oops ...
DeletePS, it has nothing to do with age ...
DeleteI just saw it as an oops as well
DeleteMadeleine's jacket is a beautiful style and fit.
ReplyDeleteI just wish that royal women reserved black for sad occasions. Most women wear black because a) it is easy to buy, being the most produced fashion colour b) it's a neutral, so it's a safe choice for many occasions and c) it's a the default shortcut to looking professional.
I see more black being worn by royal women recently for daytime public duties. However, royal women do not have to rely on black the way most of us everyday women do. They have the resources to look professional and appropriate using a range of colours. So when royals make public appearances, I always prefer it when they choose colour. Lyra
Why is Madeleine wearing a foreign brand?
ReplyDelete@13:49, any kind of etiquette or rule that prescribes which brand royals should wear at home or abroad? If they fancy it, why not, but if they don't, also why not.
DeleteEt pourquoi pas ? Je ne pense pas qu’elle soit la seule à aller voir la mode
ReplyDeletedans d’autres pays !
La longue veste de Madeleine légèrement cintrée lui sied à merveille ; j’adore ses boutons dorés !!
