did you all like what they wore?
who was the best dressed...and who was no

Lillian looks so sweet....
I hope she will live many more years
is she in good health othervise?

[Lena]

I love Victoria´s jacket and I´m a little bit disappointed of Rania´s suit...Carl philip needs to pick his eyebrows in the middle of the forehead/at the beginning of the root of the nose (job for Madeleine? :P )...ah yes Madeleine...Madeleine looks kind of chubby in her outfit...but the great look of her sister today compensates all. And princess Lilian looks really agile for her age. I can´t wait to see the gala-pics :woot:

[Josefine]

maybe we could make it that way, that those who can swedish (at least a little bit-like me ) are parting translations?! A little bit for Yennie, a little bit for Josefine, a little bit for Alva and a little bit for me?

Sure!

Wednesday 8 october
H.M. King Abdullah will be visiting the Export Council for a meeting with representatives for the Swedish Industry.

The royal Couples and Crown Princess will visit the Parliament where King Abdullah will hold a speach ( Alva comments;I don´t know if that´s so common during a state visit, maybe it´s because the fact that King Abdullah has some real power i Jordania rather than beeing just a formal King).

The Royal Couples and Crown princess will visit Ericsson in Kista (Alva comments: a suburb of Stockholm called the "Silicon Valley of Sweden" ( I grew up there :flower: ))

The City of Stockholm will be hosting a lunch at Stadshuset (Alva comments;= The City Hall, the place for the Nobel gala)

I would love to see pictures of Prince Ali

Did you know that Princess Majida was born in Sweden and met her husband in London where she studied. I think her name was Margareta or something like that

-----------

what kind of Tiara is worn by Rania?

I did some carving in the pictures so they would fit
I think Victoria has the same dress like she had in the Stockholm magazine
But what about Madeleine

[Lena]

I don´t think that Carl-Philip and Madeleine were absent, but this jordanian photoagency probably focuses on their king and queen.
Why is polfoto now so slow with the pictures :( ...it´s so great that it became possible in the last years to get photos just 2 hours after the event.
