The 30th birthday - 14 July, 2007

There will be some Royals
As far as my swedish doesn't let me down Aftonbladet posted a list of Royals attending the official part and the friends and boy-and girlfriends attending the "party".

Thanks for posting this, as I suspected Norwegian and Danish royals will be there.

It doesn't look like Victoria will be getting that lavish celebration that lasts for days and days. Zonk posted the day's events in post #2 on page 1. Unlike other large over the top birthday celebrations they are planned out differently and months in advance. And we know the many details far in advance too. This celebration by all accounts doesn't appear to be that way. It's not a grand birthday blowout. It looks like it will be similar to her past birthday's just slightly bigger than in previous years. Like I said before I think it is appropriate I'm not sure a crown princess turning 30 really calls for a 4 day lavish over the top celebration, only my opinion. Plus she has 2 other siblings so if they went all out for Vic then a sticky situation concerning her other siblings could develop. I really think what is planned is approriate plenty of time in the future to break the bank on a massive over the top celebration.

Nice to see that some other royals will be there. It's funny, July usually seems somewhat slow for royal news with all the royals on holiday, but this year we've got Isabella's christening, concert for Diana, Queen Sonja's 70th, christening of Sofia, and Victoria's 30th.

SVT´s morning show had a little preview to the interview tonight. And it was the same as always...love to learn, proud of representing Sweden...
I´m slowly starting to fear we would never get to see a glimpse of the real Victoria again. Probably Jenny Alexandersson (journalist working for Svensk Damtidning) would be the only one, who would tell us about the real private Victoria, she could experience, till the end of her days
http://svt.se/svt/play/video.jsp?a=260073 (go to 1:50...if I wouldn´t know it better, I´d say Victoria smokes 60 ciggies a day )

Aftonbladet had today very bad Paparazzi pics of Victoria (white shoes as trademark ) playing with some children (of relatives...?)

The press met Silvia on the way to a concert of Martin Stenmarck in the old ruin and she said, that they are having a great time. The weather would be so nice. She said, that she didn´t go swimming, because it would be too cold. But her children did and they also did some boating...

And Expressen´s special is mainly on a possible wedding. Soon it would come...but one has learned out of earlier "mistakes" and is going for quite a wishy-washy prognosis...2008...2009...

I´m remembering, that one needed a special card for it. Don´t know, if that is still the same.
But these days most things are online (and even in good quality...at least with broadband)
E.g. also the interview with Victoria from tonight. It wasn´t as bad as the preview implied it. But nothing special either. And I guess the court and SVT had a deal not to speak in any way about love, babies, Daniel, engagement (simply everything, that is making other forums on TRF so lively and this so dead )
Kronprinsesan Victoria 30 år

I was able to see the video but not that good. I agree she looks kind of older in it. Not sure if it's the lighting or the ciggies like Lena implied:) Her hair is down and back but there are parts of it that look shorter, falling just below her shoulders and she has much longer hair than that. Or has she cut it? I have not had the time to keep up as much as I would like but I don't think she's cut it. I think it must just be some layers that are shorter that are coming forward and the rest is back behind her shoulders. I don't know but her hair kept me guessing the video kept messing up so it was frozen on her for a few seconds.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICTORIA :d:d

[Lena]

Victoria and the Royal couple (not sure about Madeleine and Carl Philip) travelled to Stockholm. In the evening they ate dinner with relatives (mainly Sommerlaths, I´d guess by the picture) at Drottningholms Wärdshus (chicken with corn, and chocolate truffles)
Today Victoria has even not time to eat lunch, but has to eat something on the way back to Öland. Busy bee´s birthday

Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Madeleine are looking very lovely today. I also liked Queen Silvia's pink outfit and hat. Oh, and Prince Carl Philip is very-very handsome.

OMG, is it the light or why do they all look SO tanned. Look at the lovely C-P. Holidays? (Pictures!!??), solarium??, selftanning-lotion :-D?

But they look great, everyone of them.

Edit:
Okay, after looking on these pics for a longer time it looks like heavy and too dark Make Up, Fake tan would look more orange I think, this tan is too "brown".
