King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia Mark Golden Wedding Anniversary with New Family Portrait

King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Princess Madeleine, Princess Leonore, Princess Adrienne, Princess Sofia and Princess Ines

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.

    The brands Roland Mouret and Safiyaa always make consistent elegant clothing! Very beautifully worn by Victoria and Madeline

    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?

      They are grouped by smaller family units within the larger family unit. To me, it looks very nice and makes sense. Daniel in the middle balances the ladies’ hats. I am amazed by their ability to get a good picture with that many children involved!

      A me sembrano ben sistemati, ogni figlio ha il proprio consorte e prole accanto. Victoria e Daniel sono tra il re e la regina, quindi centrali, in qualità di coppia ereditaria.
      Comunque una bella festa e tutti ben vestiti...auguri a loro 💚

      Hi Anonymous @ 13:12 — yes, I do think the placement of those little boys does throw things off a bit visually; perhaps the composition could have been improved by putting Price Oscar in front of his dad. The family groups then still would have been intact.

      1735 did it cross your mind that Oscar wanted to stand with his cousin, which kids do without a scant of care about balance

      Anon.21:00. This is an official photo. Everyone is wearing a formal attire. The picture is taken in a formal setting. You can't claim 100% that the family memberscould decide for themselves where to stand, and it wasn't the photographer, who made all the placing arrangements.

  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.

    Releasing the two pictures is a lovely way to show their happiness on their wedding day and now, and also the family they have built during their 50 years of marriage, which is a remarkable milestone.

    A lovely elegant look from all the Swedish royal ladies. But, Crown Princess Victoria is the standout. The mellow yellow teamed with the black accessories is perfection!

    Congratulations to the King and Queen on 50 years!!! The whole family looks wonderful and it’s fun to see the same background in both photos.

    A truly lovely family portrait — everyone looks so well‑dressed and perfectly coordinated. The King and Queen can indeed be very proud. I wish the celebrating couple many more years together in good health.

    One thing that caught my eye in the line‑up: there seems to be a visible gap between Princess Madeleine and Chris. She is standing noticeably closer to Prince Daniel than to her husband. I find myself missing a bit of the usual closeness between couples, and this not for the first time.

    Just a personal observation — not meant as criticism.

      Anne : c'est juste un placement logique pour Madeleine sinon Leonore cacherait sa mère, le photographe a sûrement dit à Madeleine de se décaler un peu.

    Lovely picture of - above all - a happy family. The Queen was a very pretty bride, good to have both pictures … 50 years later happily surrounded by children and grand-children🥰

    Everyone is beautifully dressed. CP Victoria and Princess Madeleine are winners to me, love their outfits. All the grand-children are gorgeous, pity Princess Estelle missed the event.

  14. Beautiful photos. I have to admit loving CP Victoria's lemon suit, this looked stunning. I loved the design and style. She wore antique earrings, they looked lovely, and a gorgeous bracelet. I think her shoes/clutch are black, I would have loved Navy, slight quibble. The main thing is she wore what appealed to her and was happy with that is all that matters!
    Madeleine looks equally lovely, she had the most beautiful diamond earrings, they were perfect for daywear. Very elegant.

    What a wonderful new family photo. Their wedding day photo with two of them happily smiling into the future. And now 50 years later as the proud parents of 3 children and proud grandparents for 9 grandchildren. Sad that Estelle missed the celebrations and wasn't on this historic photo.

    I just noticed, that all men and little princes are wearing blue neckties.

    Princess Madeleine is always so pretty and elegant and she's a vision in white. Victoria has this time chosen something classic and stylish. Princess Sofia in pink looks lovely, just as Queen Sillvia in red. And I could not help but admire her trim legs. She's 82 and her legs still look wonderful. She shows that age is just a number.
    Happy Anniversary for the royal family.

    Wow all the male members from the youngest to the oldest in black suits. The ladies look great. Not a fan of Sofias hat it is like a plate on the side of her head; her dress is lovely and great color too, I wished she wore her hair in an updo, maybe the hat would have been different. Madeleine is looking stunning she is a beautiful lady. So is Victoria really liking her pale-yellow suit. The Queen in red stunning. I think the winner is Pss Ines, lovely dress and super cute little girl.
    A happy 50year anniversary to their Majesties.

    What a lovely portrait of the family. I love that butter yellow suit of Princess Victoria, and that open round collar is especially eye catching, different. Princess Sophia’s dress is both gorgeous, the colour and the fit -very becoming.
