King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia: Current Events - Part 13 (Sept 2008 - )

[Boris]

Oh, please... The 'joker' joke on Queen Silvia is so ancient and lame, apart from being unnecessary.
Thank you LadyFinn for posting the link here. The article is quite interesting, rather like a portrait, and I like how Queen Silvia's humor comes across - obviously quite dry and self-ironic, too. Nice.

On March 31st, at 2:00 PM, the Queen of Sweden will publicly support the project SpreadtheSign - an international dictionary of sign languages. The ceremony will be held in Stockholm, by the Sweedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the aim of presenting the website of the dictionary and raise support for the continuation of the project.

Swedish Royal Wedding

Where does the royal couple spend the easter holiday?

I am missing the 80er/90er years - on this times the royal family made official pressmeetings on the holidays, most in the holiday-house in Storlien.

Here is a video from the state visit in The Netherlands in 1976.
A funny aspect in the end! A journalist asked the Queen in German if there will be happy event for the swedish nation in the next year. The Queen answered that the journalist shouldn't be so pry.

Seems to be quiet busy days for the Queen. London on wednesday, Vienna today and on friday evening Lake Constance. We didn't see pictures from London and Vienna, but I think we will see pics from tomorrow. The Queen will attend the gala dinner for the wedding of Count Björn Bernadotte. Crown Princess Victoria will attend the wedding today. There will be a offical photo.

Queen Silvia also gave a interview in the last few days. I can't get the content of the interview, but here is the link:

The interview Queen Silvia gave is about the importance of palliative care, special health care for the chronically ill, old infirm people and the dying. She spoke about her own experiences with it when her brother was dying from cancer and announced that she intends to broaden her commitment to the issue.
Queen Silvia will be the main speaker at The European Congress for Palliative Care in Vienna today.

Regarding the events on Mainau: Queen Silvia attends the 100th birthday celebration concert for Count Lennart Bernadotte tomorrow, not the wedding of Count Bjoern.
Crown Princess Victoria didn't attend the wedding either, but will be present at the wedding ball tonight.

The strangest thing is that there haven't been any photos at all from the London Mentor gala at Whitehall...?

Oh.... I did understand that there is a ball for the wedding. But, indeed, Count Lennart has his 100th birthday tomorrow. I this, because the King was on Mainau to congratulate him to his 70th birthday when Carl Phillip was born. And I have just forgotten to say that CP Victoria will attend the wedding this evening. SORRY.........

Iceflower, thanks for the information and pics.

But it's pity for us to see no pictures of the queen. It's right - the king celebrated the price-ceremony, but the queen attend the event, too!

You are most welcome, Ursulajohanna and indeed, that's
a pity, pics of her at that event would have been great as well, I
wasn't able to find any...
