Wow, that's huge! How long will the spettekaka be on display? Will it get eaten?

I haven't seen any info about how long it will be on display. It was brought to NK on Tuesday 24th. I would have thought that they would have taken it away after last weekend since the christening was on Friday. No info either about if the cake will be eaten.

Svensk Damtidning tells about the christening:
Victoria and Daniel hosted a family dinner to the godparents on Thursday evening at Haga Palace. And Svensk Damtidning thinks that it might had gone late, Frederik looked tired on Friday.

After the christening and reception it was time for the private lunch the king and queen hosted. There were 170 people, royals, relatives and personal friends. The lunch was served at Vita Havet. There were many round tables for 8 people at a table and this time there wasn't any Table of honor, but at the tables there was a mix of Bernadottes, Westlings and Victoria's and Daniel's close friends. The court florist had decorated the room with lilacs like at the Chapel. The highlight of the lunch was Victoria’s speech. One of the guests tells that Victoria told how wonderful everything was with little Oscar. And she praised also big sister Estelle.
The children were at the lunch at the beginning, and sat with their parents, but left soon with their nannies – the lunch lasted three hours. Coffee was served with the Nobel crockery and at 17.30 the guests left the Royal Palace.

Emma Magnuson, wife of Oscar Magnuson, told to Svensk Damtidning that prince Oscar is very kind and happy like her parents and big sister.
Oscar Magnuson is only a few weeks older than Victoria and he and Victoria are very close, Oscar told to Svensk Damtidning. He said that because he grew up with Victoria and has a good relationship with the crown princess couple it feels fun and honorable to get a guiding role in prince Oscar’s life.

Svensk Damtidning chose the christening present to Oscar keeping in mind how it was told that Estelle wanted a hamster. They sent to Oscar to the Royal Palace a blue hamster Babygro, a couple of pacifiers with a hamster and a hamster bib.

When SVT used Prince Alexander’s picture when announcing Prince Oscar’s christening, there were varied opinions here, and questions as to whether or not it was a genuine or intentional mistake.
But, as you can see from the link below, when reporting on Princess Leonora and family’s today’s visit to Gotland, the Daily Mail wrongly referred to her as Princess Estelle.

The Print Media do not do enough proofreading or fact-checking before going to Print/Press. IMO, there is no conspiracy theory at Daily Mail or there at SVT just incompetence.
 
:previous: I agree completely. SVT accidentally using a photo of Alexander instead of Oscar unfortunately isn't an unusual occurrence in the media, it happens very often here in Denmark too, and I don't understand why people felt the need to paint it as some sort of statement.
 
There is a difference between a foreign tabloid mixing up names, and the National news mixing up photos of the heir to the throne and her brother.
 
They called Victoria Mary. You have too high expectations of the DM :p

DM is not alone in confusing Oscar & Alexander. Now Instyle has done it -The last paragraph - CP.Victoria holding P.Alexander while he puts his hands in his mouth (paraphrasing).

He does not smile on command but every interaction with his children or grandchildren brings a true smile
 
Oh, that photo of Oscar with Carl Gustaf is so sweet and heartwarming, I haven't seen it before. Oscar's facial expression is super cute and it's nice to see the affectionate side of the King.
 
Photos from one blog

The governor of Skåne, Margareta Pålsson hosted on 30th June at her residence a lunch for those business representatives and individuals who had taken part and donated at the christening present of Skåne, The Prince Oscar's Nature Playground.
Governor Pålsson tells at her blog that after the summer the procurement of the contractor begins and eventually the building of the Nature Play to National Park Söderåsen will start. Governor Pålsson retires in the end of July.

Expressen has a photo of The Speaker of the Parliament Urban Ahlin's Thank you card, where Victoria and Daniel have written their personal thanks.
"We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the amazing christening present. So appreciated and a real nice present to have in life. Thank you !"

Also the Director General of Nationalmuseum, Berndt Arell has got a Thank You card, which he publishes at his Instagram.
Victoria and Daniel have written to it "Thank you for the great christening presents for Oscar. One should start in time ..."
Arell tells at his Instagram that he gave Oscar two picture books with art from the collections of Carl Larsson and Elsa Beskow.

Amanda Egilson from Namnsmycken has made Name Jewelry from 2006. She sent a christening present, a silver elephant with golden heart as ear with Oscar's name engraved to Victoria and Daniel.
A couple of days ago she got the Thank You card from Victoria and Daniel. Victoria had written to it:
"Dear Amanda Egilson, many thanks for the beautiful piece of jewelry, so beautifully made. We became so happy."

Love the photos :flowers: Love the one with Estelle, she sure loves him :)

I still wish we would get a shoot like Madeleine and CP have done. We have got a couple of photos here and there but love a shoot. We have only seen Dan with his son in events, no photos. I would love a non-event photo of him with his son, and both kids.

Very cute, thanks for posting :) I think P.Victoria (and Estelle) looks a lot like her dad K.C-G when he was younger...
