The opening of the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament) took place on 29 September 2026, marking the start of the new parliamentary year — the 2026/27 Riksdag session. The day began with a service at Stockholm Cathedral (Storkyrkan). King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill attended the church service.
Afterwards, the King and Queen, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, and Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill attended the opening ceremony of the 2026/27 Riksdag session at the Riksdag building in Stockholm. The King declared the 2026/27 Riksdag session open in the Chamber.

Nice clothes. Funny and sad though to see how Madeleine so openly demonstrates discomfort every time she's placed beside Sofia.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you saying that about Madeleine and Sofia?
DeleteReally?
DeleteG.
Yes, much has been reported about the relationship between Madeleine and Sofia. I would hope it is not true, but Madeleine has done little through her actions and "looks" to disprove this. As far as fashion, Sophie is my favorite this day, so classis and tailored with just the right length of the skirt. The bow in her hair is the perfect finishing touch.

P M, always wonderful, Cpr V also!
ReplyDeleteThe ladies are very elegant, however the best is still Princess Madeleine, she is gorgeous. Good to see all attending the opening.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful is the word for P M and Cpr V and so nice clothes both of them!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever seen Christopher O'Neill smile.
ReplyDeleteHis hair always looks scruffy
DeletePour cette occasion officielle, la famille royale a su combiner le noir et le blanc ; j’adore la nouvelle veste de la Reine sur laquelle elle a noué un élégant noeud !
ReplyDeleteSofia has to dark hair, she looks pale!
ReplyDeleteThe Swedish royal family are wearing each year black and wihite for the opening of the Riksdag. CP Victoria is wearing the longest dress or skirt and Princess Madeleine is wearing the shortest dress of them all. I am surprised every year that they open the Swedish Parliament so late in the year and not in the beginning of the year but it is their tradition to start the new parliamental year in september. I like Princess Sofia's two pieces by Self Portrait the best. Secondly I like Princess Madeleine's outfit. On the third place I like Queen Silvia's white jacket and hat and the last one is CP Victoria. Her hair is done in a weird updo to wear a sort of headband and a bow in the back of her hair. I do not like her white top with the black belt.
ReplyDeleteAll the outfits are nice but my personal favorite is CP Victoria. Love the belted top and long skirt combo. P Madeleine also looks great in the peplum.
ReplyDeletePrincess Sofia is stunning. Lovely to see her back after the birth of her baby girl. Her suit is gorgeous and she always looks happy to be with the family. Ann
ReplyDeleteI do believe that Madeline and Sofia get along quite well. I have seen pics from all occasions and vacations that show them together having a lovely time. All the royal ladies look wonderful today. Sarah
ReplyDeleteMadeleine och Sofia är jättebra vänner idag!
ReplyDeleteAs the Ladies are wearing every year black and white, I think there is a dresscode. But why are the men wearing blue?
ReplyDeleteAre there "only for women rules"?
For me all the ladies look lovely and I cannot criticise any of their outfits. If I had to chose I particularly like CPVictorias jacket and skirt with her hair detail.
