Probably a tradition for Madeleine!Originally posted by Lena@Jun 7th, 2004 - 4:46 am
Hm, Madeleine always looks on the national day, as if she would have partied the night before...is there a special tradition in Sweden, that youngsters party in the night before the national day?
I (enemy of the ponytail) agree here completely The only problem with Silvia is, that we don´t see much of her hair, because of the hood...so it doesn´t make much sense to have a complex hairdo.Originally posted by nouwrein@Jun 8th, 2004 - 11:15 am
With the same traditional clothes and hairstyle (ponytail), we'll have a hard time identifying the pictures later as to what year was it taken. It's very similar to what I've seen in June 6, 2000 or 2001? 2002 or 2003?
It would be very nice if Madeleine and Victoria (especially Queen Silvia- that's the same look for years now) will vary their hairdo (like what mette-marit does) like wavy this time. What's wrong with a little hair clip or hair flowers :flower: or wear it straight or wavy or maybe with extensions
yes, thats a very nice variation Lena. Or they could do the parted variation of that one :flower:Originally posted by Lena@Jun 8th, 2004 - 2:05 pm

For the 2 princesses I would suggest something simple and decent( I mean it´s clear, that they have to wear these traditional costumes and no gala dresses!), but much more impressing than a ponytail. E.g. what do you think ofthis?
Well maybe the king should found a private castle running company! Which takes over all employees, gets all the money from the state, he and his family is employed in. And finally if the loss is to big this company can get bancrupt all the employees do get fired. And as responsible head for running the company some prominent politician. So they can control that the money is used correctly. And finally its their problem then!Originally posted by Philippos@Jun 9th, 2004 - 4:57 am
It has also a more pungent and gloomy reason. For the last years the Parliament, dominated by republicans, has given The Royal Court so little money, that The Court has been loss-making several years. His Majesty has often paid The Courtiers' salaries by His own private money. Last year the administration of The Royal Castles had a deficit of SEK 2.2 million. The Royal Court must therefor promote it self and The Royal Castles in order to attract more and new visitors. Thus The Royal Court has to trust in gate money!

Then i would fire som employees and replace thme by cheaper onse from the new european unioun members.
how did he than gain a loss?Originally posted by Philippos@Jun 9th, 2004 - 10:51 am
The Royal Castles are not Private Royal Property, but State Property. The responsibility for The Royal Castles as a part of our cultural heritage is a duty of The Ministry of Culture, whose Head of Ministry is the Minister of Culture, the aggressive socialist and republican Marita Ulvskog. So basically it already is the politicians' problem, but what would the socialists mind, if our historical momories and our cultural heritage disintegrate? That is their goal!

Maybe a state visit should be housed in a youth hostel.
Well maybe you should menage to take away the seal of UN cultural heritage for Drottningholm. this would be a total shame for them. Everybody in Europe would lough about the stupid swedish politicians!
If the building was not mine I would not care as king, even if they burned down. I just would call the fire department!

So he has to pay for them?
If I would not have enough money I would save some money there.Its quete expensive to support an old building!
So he has to keep them running and keep them in a good shape and just gets 8 MSEK crowns as far as I know? how dos this working. This lousy castle in my hometown is much more expensive then 2 Mio Euros per year and its just a "ordinary" one. Not a cultural UN world heritage and just one!
So whats that expensive than? that he is missing 2 mio sek? its about 200.000 Euros thats pretty much if you do not have them!Originally posted by Philippos
No, in 2003 he got SEK 45.3 million from the Parliament (for the expenses of the Castles) and SEK 34.3 million from gate money. [/b]
Socialists are not far away from Kommunists and Kommunists are idiots!Originally posted by Dennism@Jun 9th, 2004 - 12:15 pm
All of this is atrocious. Being a Socialist does not mean that you have to gut the funding for the historical monuments of your country.
So they try to figure out. Aren't there any results yet. Halftime in 2004. SO if you do not know whats the problem you will have a loss again!Originally posted by GrandDuchess@Jun 9th, 2004 - 6:08 pm
Quote from the Royal Court's annual report for 2003:
“A review of the organisation and the activities of the displaying to the public has been started. The goal is to make it possible for even more people to visit the Royal Palaces and thereby also increase the income and make it possible to improve the care of the rich cultural heritage that the Palaces and its inventories and parks represent”
A very good idea. Give the public more opportunities to put to see the beautiful tapestries and paintings.Originally posted by GrandDuchess@Jun 9th, 2004 - 7:08 pm
He had at one time said that he would like to develop the showings of the Royal Palaces.

You also could start an adoption program. Adopt a piece of art! And sponsor its renewal! Therefore getting a prominent place in the Building where this things are kept. Like a Zoo does this and so on![/b][/quote]Originally posted by mixer2002de+Jun 10th, 2004 - 11:52 am--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (mixer2002de @ Jun 10th, 2004 - 11:52 am)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by Philippos@Jun 9th, 2004 - 11:27 pm

I think, that the cause of the loss is quite obvious. The Royal Court does not get enough money in order to fulfil its obligation to take good care of this part of our cultural heritage. But hopefully, this year and the years to come, the Court will get more gate money.
That is Björn von Sydows wife. Björn von Sydow is the Talman =spokeman(?) of Riksdagen, the parliament. Being this he is the second most prominent man in Sweden, just after the King himself. The rank is higher than statsministern, the prime minister, Göran Persson because he is the man you makes the parliament spin regardless of political views. I think that at 6 juni the talman is the host and therefore he and his wife ( or she and her husband as it was with Talman Birgitta Dahl) is sitting at the front row with the Royal Family.Originally posted by King Christian@Jun 6th, 2004 - 4:30 pm
Who's this red dressed beauty here?
Speaker of the parliament. He was also the first person to speak after the Royal Family arrived on the scene.Originally posted by Alva@Jun 13th, 2004 - 5:16 am
