New protectoship

It has been announced this week (during a seminar about this year's competition) that Crown Princess Victoria has accepted to become the protector of the women's tennis tournament Nordea Nordic Light Open. The news comes from Svensk Idrott, Swedish sports news online, the article can be found here.

A Victoria Day Museum is planned

According the the newspaper Östran, a museum about the Victoria Day (the Crown Princess' birthday) is planned on Öland. Nothing is finnished yet and it's still in the planning stage, but the Royal Court has apparently been positive in their judgement after the contacts that the organiser has had with them. The museum would for example feature photographs from both the press and private individuals, mementos and perhaps copies of gifts that the Crown Princess has received from the recipients of the Victoria Scholarship. (The original article (in Swedish) can be found here).

I found this old thread which hasn't been used in 10 years about Victoria's patronages. So I put the news of one of her patronages here now:

Victoria has been the patron of Gundua Foundation since 2007.
The Foundation has now a new website, there is a photo of Victoria with some of the Board members of the Foundation.
