Nobel Prize Thread 2003

[Lena]

Inspired of Josefine´s common nobel prize thread, I´m starting the one for 2003. I know it´s a little bit early, but on the other hand...after looking at my advent calender I´ve noticed, that it´s just one week left. And I bet there will be a lot of details, which will be published before (the members of the RF, who will attend, the seating arrangements...)

Horray! Nobel Prize is coming!

[Lena]

The whole family will attend-at least on Wednesday.

On 10/12

[Lena]

Princess Christina and princess Lilian will be there too.

[Josefine]

and for the castle dinner the day after it seems that Madeleine and carl philip will not attend
but its a tiara event

[Dennism]

What is the general setup for the castle dinner? Have they not attended before but have attended the ceremony in the same year?

[Josefine]

December 10th there is a prize ceremony then a dinner all in gala
December 11 there is a dinner at the castle again and also this gala, but I don't think Victoria, Carl Philip or Madeleine has attended this dinner any previous years

this will be victorias first time

[Lena]

As much as I know Victoria attended the dinner already in 1997, and then in 2000 and in 2001. I´m not sure about Carl-Philip, but I know, that he attended. I think in 2001.

do we talk about december 10 or december 11?

[Lena]

About december 11. Maybe I will find pictures.

[Lena]

Oh, Yennie was faster...thank you, Yennie. :flower:
Now I´ve looked at the calender-archive of royalcourt.se and it says that Victoria and Carl-Philip attented both in 2000 and 2001

[Gita]

Princess Madeleine attended both ceremonies on December 10th 2000 and 2002 but never the dinners on the 11th, why is that?

[Dennism]

okay. Two dinners. I was a little confused. But with some people attended some things and others attending other things. Okay.

Good question. I think they used the excuse "school" in 2000 and "practical training" (she did one at that time) in 2002.
But probably it was just laziness and disinterest. The "big show" is on december 10.

Oh how lovely!

I just love the Nobel Prize Festival, it's one of the nicest festival. It's all the educated and royal personage who's there, no competition or Hollywood kind of feeling, but just the nice smell of knowledge and royal!

Why wasn't Victoria there last year?

Can anyone post the link of Josephine's Nobel Prize thread please.

[Gita]

Crown Princess Victoria was absent during the Nobel last year because she was working for a Swedish Export company in Paris.

[Adrienne2003]

i can't wait to see what kind of dresses victoria & madeleine & silvia will wear on wednesday... i hope that at least madeleine will have a new one.

[Lena]

I would say you can be 99.99% sure, that Madeleine has a new one. But I´m not sure about the Queen and Victoria. The Queen already wore dresses at the NPA, which she has worn before.

[Helen88]

Has she really? When?!
