On March 12, 2026, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrated her name day at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Since the early 1990s, the Swedish Armed Forces have celebrated the Crown Princess’s name day in the Inner Courtyard of the Royal Palace. Since the Crown Princess’s birthday is normally celebrated on Öland, her name day marks the annual celebration of the Crown Princess in Stockholm.
Victoria’s ready for war? ?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!! And you?
Delete"War preparedness" is unfortunately the message I take away from it, too.
Delete@00:01: looking at overrun Ukraine, you seem to think that being unprepared is more appropriate?
DeleteVraiment magnifique dans cet uniforme ; bon et heureux anniversaire à elle !
ReplyDeleteVictoria est née un...14 juillet ! Je ne comprends pas.
DeleteAre they still celebrating the name day of people in Sweden ? A beautiful tradition, but I think there are not many countries which are still celebrating this, not even in royal families, unless they do it quietly at home with their family.
ReplyDeleteNo it’s not common to celebrate the Name Day in Sweden. But because Victoria celebrates her birthday on Öland they want to give the people in Stockholm the chance to see and celebrate her.
DeleteI am from Sweden and yes, we do celebrate our namedays. Not everyone does, it varies but my family take it seriously.

Does she have to attend this celebration wearing uniform? It´s a pity, really. Not only will it be (sartorially) boring, as she´ll apparently always wear the same from now on; it also takes away from her status as she no longer stands out and instead blends into a sea of uniforms.
ReplyDeleteVictoria looks good here, but I am still disappointed. I can imagine that many people, especially royal watchers, prefer to see her feminine side, her warmth, her charisma shining through and her displaying a bit of royal glamour rather than her military grade and the strict, rigid formality that comes with it.
Last year I thought she wore this because she was involved in military training, but it appears that she´ll be in uniform from now on, whether she´s currently training or not. Again, a pity in my view as the celebration of her name day is a very personal thing and not a military event.
They like to wear uniforms in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Look at King Frederik, King Harald and Prince Hakon and now CP Victoria for Sweden. Regularly when there is a gala evening in these countries, women are wearing gala dresses, men are wearing uniforms.
Delete@Vanessa: "I can imagine that many people, especially royal watchers, prefer to see her feminine side" ... I can imagine the exact opposite at least as well ... some expect royal glamour, yes, but some expect that the people look like they were "one of us" ordinary people ... so I think the ladies should just do what is deemed as appropriate for them. And if the Swedish Armed Forces celebrate her name day and are present there, then nothing is more appropriate then to wear the uniform. Apart from that, she is absolutely pretty in it :-)
DeleteCP Victoria is very much choosing her own outfits, this is a statement from her and a reflection of what is happening right now.

ReplyDeleteWhy you are asking stupid questions ?
DeleteShe doesn’t look like a man.
