King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on 19 June, but the Royal Couple began commemorating the special occasion six days in advance. A large number of royals travelled to Stockholm to take part in the celebrations marking the King and Queen’s golden wedding anniversary.
To the sound of Sinfonia da Chiesa—the same piece played when the Royal Couple walked to the altar in 1976 at Stockholm Cathedral—the celebrations began with a thanksgiving service, Te Deum, for invited guests in the Royal Chapel. Following the service, the King and Queen hosted a luncheon for invited guests at the Royal Palace.
On the occasion of the King and Queen’s 50th wedding anniversary, the City of Stockholm organized an open-air concert at Kungsträdgården, where King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia were the guests of honour. Described as “a musical journey of love through 50 years,” the concert was open to the public.
Among the members of the Swedish Royal Family attending the celebrations marking the King and Queen’s wedding anniversary were Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Oscar, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Princess Ines, Prince Julian, Princess Madeleine, Chris O'Neill, Princess Leonore, Princess Adrienne, Prince Nicolas, and Princess Christina.
Among the specially invited royal guests were Princess Benedikte of Denmark, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway, Princess Takamado of Japan, Prince Gustav and Princess Carina of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and Prince Leopold and Princess Ursula of Bavaria.
Everybody looks so stylish. The Queen is a standout in red. But the winner is Victoria in this lovely butteryellow dress and beautiful hat.
ReplyDeleteI agree! But then also Sofia in her bright pink outfit is a stunner - and baby Ines of course!
Delete18.58. Yes both very nice and Pr M also!
DeleteWhere is beautiful Estelle? Do not see her in any pictures
ReplyDeleteSuperbes toutes ces photos surtout celles de la princesse Inès avec sa trop craquante frimousse !
ReplyDeleteHow completely beautiful. The Swedish locals all look just lovely, of course with Silvia and Carl Gustav looking best of all on this, their day.
ReplyDeleteChacune leur style , j aime toutes leurs tenues
ReplyDeleteEstelle?
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks so lovely in her red suit but I am blown away by CPV’s stunning appearance - the hat, suit, and all the accessories are just perfection! She looks magnificent! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks stunning in her matching red outfit with her King. Congrats on their anniversary - a true milestone! Madeleine really rocks her two piece white outfit and the hat is picturesque - she gets my vote for the best dressed. But Victoria also looks lovely in her butter cream yellow two piece creation. Sofia looks lovely and so poised (though not too crazy about the saucer hat), all the children look adorable and Pr Benedikte always elegant - she calmed the colorful dress down with such a beautiful jacket and hat. She always gets it right. I like the two powder pink outfits quite a lot, too. Some elegant styles here today and little Innes is taking it all in! - Virginia Dogwood
ReplyDeleteAgree: Victoria looks very stylish!
ReplyDeleteI though Victoria had the best outfit (50's style to the hilt) until I saw P.Madeline - she looks stunning, and I love the shape of the brim of her hat. Very happy to see P.Benedikte and P.Takamado, the two most elegant ladies of their generation of their respective royal houses. Great to see them walking in together. All the grandies are adorable though I realise that P.Estelle doesn't seem to be present.
