Battle Royal in Gothenburg - Team SCA in the Volvo Ocean Race

Sam Davies, the skipper of Team SCA, was of course pleased with today's contests.
- It went really well, it was a good race. The winds were a little tricky, the wind was just so we could sail.
With today's second place the team came to third place in the overall In-Port Series.
- It's so funny, this will go the history books. We have written history today, says Sam Davies.
Sam Davies mentions two factors which made that it went particularly well during Saturday's races. It's the Gothenburg audience and Crown Princess Victoria.
- We have received such a fantastic support, right when we got here, it shows that there are many who follow us. It's thanks to the support we sailed so well today.
But it is not the whole explanation if one wants to believe Sam Davies. A certain crown princess gave luck today.
- It is always good when Victoria sails with us. She is our lucky devil, she says, laughing.
What did the Crown Princess do on the boat today?
- She helped with the sails when we sailed out, she can't do anything during the actual competition according to the rules. But that did save our energy for the race. She cheered for us, especially at the end. She lived into it very much, it pepped us, says Sam Davies.

Two future queens - one queen regnant, one queen consort. Who would take preeminence? I would assume Victoria because she would become queen in her own right. Or would they be equal?

They will never be equal. But otherwise event type and location will determine their respective place.
 
:previous: Thanks LadyFinn, it looks to be that Victoria is enjoying a lot of neutral colours this year and I love the look and I love that fedora. It just really suits her sense of fun, and she and Mette-Marit seemed to be having a ball.

The jury is still out on the dress for the Church Service.

12-year old Karl-Mogens Skovborg Larsen from Ed met Victoria and Mette-Marit at Älgafallet. He told to Sveriges Radio that he asked Victoria how it was to live at a Palace. Victoria told that when she was four, she used to run around at the halls, she thought it as really fun because the halls were so big, and they used to often receive guests. And then Victoria told that now they have another Palace and a house, says Karl-Mogens.

Victoria is the patron of the Sustainable Seas Initiative, and the Brig Tre Kronor.

SVT2 sent Victoria's interview about her commitment to the Baltic Sea today.
It has been put to SVT Play. "You should not have to be a professor to do the right thing". Victoria, ceo Göran Lindstedt of Sustainable Seas Initiative and reporter John Chrispinsson discuss at the exhibition "A room and a kitchen" about what people can do in their everyday lives to protect the Baltic Sea.
Chrispinsson says that there are many things that the people want the crown princess to pay attentio to, why this touches her so much personally? Victoria says that it is very difficult for her not to be touched, this is partly about the nature and environment that we are very dependent of, but also the food we buy, we eat fish and want to continue that, and it is scary that the fish is not good and healthy. And that the environment is not feeling well.
Victoria says that the exhibition is good because there people can understand that with their own choices they can affect to the environment. As a mother to a small child it is rather scary that toys have a lot of different kinds of plastic nowadays. Victoria says that the authorities don’t have sufficient time to examine all the toys at the shops. She and Daniel are nowadays very aware of which toys Estelle gets. “She’s three and a half, and you don’t want to be too annoying as a mother or parent, but she understands what is wood and plastic and so on. And what is good and what is bad, so her involvement starts early. She asks what kind of wood is this”. Victoria says also that they talk a lot about sunscreen at home, all of them are not healthy at all. Skin is our biggest organ and it takes in everything. It is challenging to find products which are good for people and also to the environment. From the lectures she learned a lot about microplastics which are relatively unknown. And how much plastic there is everywhere, and it goes to the water and sea. The water purification plants can’t clean everything from the water.

"The future of the Baltic Sea is threatened. It is therefore important to be involved and contribute to the Sustainable Seas Initiative", says Victoria.

Victoria honored Folke Bernadotte who was shot to death in Jerusalem.
- His destiny ended in a tragic reminder of peacemaking's difficulties and dangers, said a muted Crown Princess.
17th September was the day of death of Folke Bernadotte, son of Prince Oscar and cousin to king's grandfather Gustaf VI Adolf. He was known as a peace mediator in the Middle East. He was shot to death during a mission in Jerusalem in 1948. It was a great loss for the royal family. His memory persists for the royal family, for the king Folke was special because he was his godfather. Crown Princess Victoria chose to honor Folke Bernadotte when she gave her daughter the same name as his wife - Estelle.
Crown Princess Victoria attended a seminar on Folke Bernadotte's work and his effort in the Middle East peace mediation. Afterwards she was serious:
- Conflicts and wars leave wounds. Carve contradictions in the memories and hearts. His example, however, can inspire and guide those who carry on his work for peace and security in the world. For me it is an honor to pay tribute to Folke Bernadotte's memory and to spare a thought for all the devoted peace workers worldwide. I am grateful and glad to be here today and pay attention to Folke Bernadotte.
Victoria stayed for a long while and talked to all the guests. Sven-Eric Söder, Director General of the Folke Bernadotte Academy:
- We are incredibly grateful that the Crown Princess wanted to come here today. Folke Bernadotte is a very important person for the royal family. During the seminar we had, Crown Princess Victoria showed a strong and genuine interest.
