The king delivered today H.M. The King's Medals and Litteris et Artibus medals. The queen attended at the delivery too. The king also rewarded three court employees for long and faithful service (30 years) with a watch.
H.M. The King's Medal is presented to Swedish and foreign citizens for special merit.
Litteris et Artibus (1853) is awarded for outstanding service to the arts, especially to music, dramatic art and literature.

The king gave on Friday formal audiences to new ambassadors: Malaysia's ambassador Norlin Othman, Czech Ambassador Jiri Sitting, Cuban Ambassador Rosario Navas Morata and Guinean Ambassador Fatoumata Balde.
At the ceremony, the ambassadors submit their credentials, a document from their head of state to the King, who then grants them the formal right to work in Sweden. The king has about fifteen minutes discussion with each ambassador.

King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia gave on Tuesday 2nd February an interview to the editor-in-chief Erika Funke from Gods & Gårdar magazine at the Royal Palace. Gods & Gårdar is a magazine which writes about castles and manors and other historical homes.

Erika Funke got an hour long interview with the king and queen about their summer and garden life at Solliden.
- It was a good conversation, when both the king and queen shared their feelings for Solliden and involvement in the gardens. The Queen spoke warmly of her fuchsias, which according to her has to be seen from below, and how delightful it is to get closer to her grandchildren during the calm moments at Solliden. The king shared generously his memories of childhood, with the happy Öland farmers and slippery bike rides on the way to the beach. He said he wanted to give something "piquant" to Gods & Gårdar readers, and that he really managed!, says Erika Funke.

The interview and article will be published in Gods & Gårdar's big anniversary issue, nr 6 this year.
