On 26 August 2026, Queen Silvia attended Senior Citizens’ Day at Ekebyhov Castle Park on Ekerö. Senior Citizens’ Day has been celebrated on Ekerö since 1998, when the event was initiated by the Queen. During its first few years, the celebration was held at Drottningholm Park but is now held at Ekebyhov Castle Park. The event is organised by Ekerö Municipality.
Beautiful to see.

Oh look at this marvelous gentleman, off with his cap and reverence to the Queen beautiful moment. He is supported by his carer possibly, wonderful to see.
ReplyDeleteQ.Silvia seems to be the only person wearing this outfit. It is not Swedish national dress, which is blue and yellow, the nearest regional costume it resembles is Gastrikland. Just looks odd,imo.
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia is one of many ladies who is wearing the Ekerö bygdedräkt / Ekerö regional dress on this event. Ekerö is the area where Drottningsholms castle, the home of the Swedish Queen and King, is located, nearby Stockholm. They travel almost every day the one hour ride driven (most of the times) driven by King Carl XVI Gustaf himself in to their offices in the Stockholm Castle, in Old Town of Stockholm, where they also host their State Guest. This time there are only two pictures of this particular event shared by media. But in earlier events there have been more pictures shared.
DeleteA traditional dress does not always have be in the national colours of a country.
ReplyDeleteYou can see that in many countries all over Europe.
I personally like Queen Silvias Dress and hope the wearing of such dresses continues to be cultivated in the future !
