These are pictures from her coming of age ceremony.
When she turned 18 she was aloud to be head of state when her
father was not in the country.

I have been looking for the words of the speech she held, but can't find them. Is there someone that have the speech and can post it here?
 
The speech:

Your Majesties, daddy dear,

Coming of age entails big change for everybody, brining as it does personal responsibility for their actions and for their future. For me as Crown Princess it entails sharing the King's duties to a greater extent andd helping the King an Queen in the important work they are performing on behalf of the country.
I would like to thank my parents for all the support they are givning me in every aspect of my life. This is of great importance to me and will help me to assume with confidence the responsibilities and obligations I have as heir to the Swedish throne.
I will always be loyal to King and Parliament, and I will closely observe the Constitution of Sweden.
Daddy dear - last I should like to express my gratitude for the Order of the Seraphim which I received today. It means a lot to me and will serve as a reminder of my duties towards the King and our country.


The speech recevied a long and warm round of applause. The King and Queen looked especially porud. The King gave Victoria a friendly pat on the arms as a sign of his appreciation.
 
thank you

Do you have any more speeches she has held on your computer?
 
No, this one was from a book of mine called "Det Kungliga Året 1995"
 
Do all crown princes/crown princesses have this kind of a ceremony when they turn 18?

This speech was it in Swedish or in English?





At New Year 2000 did Victoria make a speech with her mother?

Today I´ve seen in the chit-chat-forum your fanart-work. And I have to say, that that is really great and fantastic(the one in that thread too) . Do you work with art, or do you want to do?

Thank you
No I just playing around, but i love it
 
I would think that if Princess Madeleine has a coat of arms then the Crown Princess for sure has a coat of arms.

A question, is Princess Madeleine's coat of arms part of the regalia with her Duchess of ___ appointment?
 
I had to delete severaö posts that was with pictures from Corbis that did not show up. I hope that they can be reposted someday

has anyone seen the Video yet what did you think
 
here are repost a few pictures that did not show up after the change of softwere

Yes, I´ve watched it...and also on a video-tape. I think rhetorical it was very good for an 18-year old girl...fluent and clear to understand. Maybe it was a little bit short, but Victoria isn´t a politician, so there isn´t much more, what she could have/should have said.
You can also see, that she was very nervous (and now as I know, that she has felt bad already half a year before, I feel sorry for her and always think of that, when I watch the video) and after that you can really see the easement in her face.
 
Victoria's speech

It was very cool to be able to hear what the royals sound like, thank you for sharing.

One thing I noticed is is that Victoria was the only one that did not cry at her chritening. I just thought that was interesting.

Was CP's 18th birthday like his sisters'? It's hard to find anything on it.
 
here is her dress
