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.
For the occasion, Crown Princess Victoria wore a new pale yellow jacket and skirt by Safiyaa, Princess Madeleine wore a new floral jacket and flared skirt by Roland Mouret, and Princess Sofia wore a new pink “Adele” dress by Lilli Jahilo.
Where is Estelle? Is she sick?
ReplyDeleteShe’s on a language camp in June
DeleteWhere is Estelle?
ReplyDeleteThe brands Roland Mouret and Safiyaa always make consistent elegant clothing! Very beautifully worn by Victoria and Madeline
Why ask a set of blog commenters?!?!
DeleteAway on a language trip. We have known for a while she wouldn't participate.
DeleteJ aime beaucoup comment Sophie est habillée. Madeleine en blanc…non et Victoria je n aime pas trop la coupe de son tailleur et son chapeau. La reine est tres joliment habillée
ReplyDeleteSofia, pas Sophie.
DeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteDaniel 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?
DeleteOh please!!
DeleteThey 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!

They are family first not stuck on protocol
DeleteOh 13:12, I think you’re going too far with this criticism. Or is it a joke I miss?!
DeleteA 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.
DeleteComunque 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.
DeleteHands down Princess Madeline is the best dressed. She looks so elegant and beautiful. Nice to see Chriss O'Neill slimmed down!
ReplyDeleteShe 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.
DeleteReleasing 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!
ReplyDeleteLowri.
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.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteOne 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.

ReplyDeleteJe constate que Madeleine -depuis son retour- continue à se vêtir avec goût ; trop jolie la princesse Adrienne !
