Victoria with family and the king and queen come out at 14.00.
Niklas Larsson, Chair of the Executive Committee of Osby, has often been in Solliden on Victoria's birthday. And he is this year also (he met Daniel already on Friday at Move for Fun). Niklas met this woman who has a great photo collage as a gift to Victoria.

Many want to celebrate Victoria on Öland
Today, the Crown Princess turns 42 years and she is celebrated in the usual order on Öland. The sun shines as it should on the sun and the winds island when visitors are admitted to the Solliden to the tunes of folk music.
Annina Siedentop from Hannover is on holiday in Småland and has come here over the day. This is the first time she visits Victoriadagen.
- She is a very nice person. She is popular in Germany, she says about the Crown Princess.
Niklas Larsson from Osby is here for the eleventh time and Solveig Aplander Rosencrantz from Helsingborg is here for the fifth time.
- It is so much fun to meet the Crown Princess and the King and Queen and Prince Daniel, so you can wait for that some hours every year, says Niklas Larsson.
- I think the Crown Princess is an absolutely fantastic woman, and a fine example for everyone, says Solveig Aplander Rosencrantz.
She brings with her a picture of Victoria that she took when she was visiting Helsingborg in January, which she should hand over along with some yellow roses.
- There are many people who meet here every year, so it is very fun, says Niklas Larsson.
Christian Moser and Verena Körbler from Austria are here for the second time. They bring with them a work of art in the form of a book and a picture from the last time they were here.
- I am a big fan of the Crown Princess, she is so beautiful and I like her a lot, says Verena Körbler.

As always, Victoria speaks with everyone and gets presents, drawings and flowers. Estelle helps her. Daniel, king Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia speak also with the people. Oscar seems to have a great time playing with their nanny. Karolin A. Johansson is there and collects flowers and gifts, this is perhaps her last work day for the court. There is a lot of SÄPO-guards.

We can see that Victoria and Daniel come very slowly after the king and queen, talking to everyone. Oscar has got a ball again and is playing football with his nanny and father (and also a little with the aide-de-camps), just like last year. Estelle is jumping rope but goes every now and then to help her mother.
Victoria talked with the press. She said that she was celebrated in the morning by her family with cake and song. She is very happy that she can be at this event with her whole family, that everyone of them wants to be here. It is wonderful to be with them there. Victoria said also that this is such a fine event. That people take time and come to congratulate her, even bring presents. There are so many people who have been there on many years and that is great.
Today we could see the family's new nanny, Elvira.
Svensk Damtidning:
A number of different nannies have been living with the Crown Princess family since Princess Estelle came to the world in 2012. One came from Australia, other from Gothenburg. But what they have in common is that the children seem to have loved them. And now there is a new nanny in the family, Svensk Damtidning can reveal. She is now outside Solliden Palace where Crown Princess Victoria is celebrated during her 42th birthday.
We can now tell that the nanny is called Elvira. She is Swedish-speaking, and the children seem to love her!
- It is true, she is new to the Crown Princess family, says Margareta Torgren.
Taking care of Victoria's and Daniel's children is not like most other babysitting jobs. Elvira most likely lives at Haga Palace, just as her predecessor has done. She must be able to be available at all times on days and evenings, and the family's nannys quickly become a natural part of the family.
Even last year we were able to reveal a new nanny who then lived with the family. Her name was Philippa and came from Australia. The idea behind this was to make Prince Oscar bilingual, just as the royal parents thought when they employed Estelle's first nanny, Australian Katie Millington.
Philippa is not visible to the children today, perhaps it is Elvira who is now taking full responsibility for the children.

Nice and a little different kind of photos at Ölandsbladet's article
The king said at his speech
- Dear friends, it's nice to meet here again to celebrate the Crown Princess. I have been here every year and I know that many of you have also been here many times. We like to have this opportunity to celebrate her with you here at Solliden, on Öland, said the king.
- We have a lovely summer but I know that it is dry in many places in the country. Here at Öland, the groundwater levels are low and we get help saving on the water by, among other things, not showering for too long, he continued and then led the birthday song and exclaimed a fourfold she lives.
Then Crown Princess Victoria wanted to say a few words.
- I want to thank you warmly for having come here to celebrate a little me. I really appreciate that you choose to come here to Solliden on such a nice summer day. It will warm when I think back on this day when it's dark and cold in November or December. Thank you so much and I wish you a really nice summer.

Interesting, that the court didn't publish any photo of Victoria at their website or social media today, as usually on the birthdays of the members of the royal family.

The photographers love this event, where they get a lot of photos of relaxed royals and especially of children playing, running and helping their parents. Although especially Estelle helps Victoria a lot, she is still allowed to be a child and go to play if she gets bored to her "work".
