Boy does Crown Princess Victoria looked like she has had some fun! And good for her after working up to 11 hours a day. Perhaps Daniel will start up Tai Chi classes now his girlfriend has had ago!

I love the photos of her at the Great Wall of China, Particularly the first one with her head hanging over the wall!:)

Thank you very much for posting them GrandDuchess.:)

More pictures of Crown Princess Victoria attending the August Strindberg play "The Father" at the People's Art Theatre in Beijing on 24 September, where she also awarded The Order of the Polar Star to translator Li Zhiyi, which he received for translating Swedish authors August Strindberg and Astrid Lindgren into Chinese. Pictures from Face to Face.

nice photos of her on the great wall of china! There is a similar photo from 1979 of Silvia peeking out of one of the windows, funny :)

Weren´t the queen and the king at the chinese wall in 1981? I remember (well, not really. Then I was in the same position as Madeleine ), that the queen was early pregnant with Madeleine. Or have they paid two visits within 2 years?

Victoria looks indeed very nice. ETW looks in one picture as, if a white snow grouse or a white mop would sit on her head

Great photo, Yennie. Thank you for finding it.

On 26 September, Crown Princess Victoria and the Minister for Industry and Trade, Thomas Östros, met with the Chinese Minister for Culture in Beijing. Pictures from Face to Face.

Despite the obvious shoe faux-pas (), Victoria looks fantastic! I love her outfit. The shirt is really beautiful, and the skirt really complements it. I really want that shirt. :( Thanks for the photos GrandDuchess.

WOW-nice shoes
Well, all joking aside...the style looks fantastic. This year´s yearly fashion review (which a friend of mine and me usually do with Victoria´s styles in 3 categories) will be much more interesting and less frustrating than the one of 2003 or 2004.

Thank you for posting so many pics for us, GrandDuchess.
