On 13 June, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with commemorative events. To mark the occasion, the King and Queen released a wedding photograph taken in 1976 showing the Royal Couple and their bridal party, along with a family portrait taken during the celebrations of their golden wedding anniversary.

Both photographs were taken in front of one of Queen Christina’s so-called coronation tapestries. They were created in the late 1640s in Delft, in preparation for Queen Christina’s coronation. The 1976 photograph was taken by photographer Lennart Nilsson, while the golden wedding anniversary family portrait was taken by photographer Linda Broström.

    A very nice family! But the placement of the King's children and grandchildren looks slightly asymmetrical to me (there are more people on the Queen's side, than on the King's). Plus putting Daniel right in the middle between the King and the Queen looks a little bit weird to me. I would try to mix the grandchildren to avoid the overload of black on the left side.

    1. Daniel stands not in the middle between Silvia and Carl Gustaf but in the second row next to his wife. Just like Carl Philip stands next to Sofia and Chris next to Madeleine. The children/ grandchildren stand next to their parents. What should be wrong with that?

  5. Hands down Princess Madeline is the best dressed. She looks so elegant and beautiful. Nice to see Chriss O'Neill slimmed down!

      She is almost always beautiful, whatever she chooses to wear. So for me, best dressed is this time Victoria, so feminine without fluffs and flowers and things! Fabulous Breakfast-at-Tiffany's--ish outfit.
