If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Daniel is today again playing at Victoriagolfen, he has played every year since 2012.
Victoriagolfen is a team competition with four players in a team. Daniel has usually played with his friends Peter "Foppa" Forsberg and Håkan Lundstedt, the ceo of Synsam, but this year they couldn't come.
Daniel arrived to Ekerum golf course right after eight o'clock. He is this year playing with Stephan Rimér, the organizer of Victoria Days events, Fabrice Pastor from Monaco and former tennis player Thomas Johansson.
Fabrice Pastor and Thomas Johansson are on Öland because of the new youth padel tournament, Synsam Padel Cup, played at Padel Arena Borgholm today and tomorrow. Behind the initiative are Victoriadagarna, Synsam, Fabrice Pastor with Monte Carlo International Sports and APT Padel Tour, Padel Arena Borgholm and Öland Tourism Organization. Thomas Johansson is the director general of the APT Padel Tour.

Svensk Damtidning met Daniel at Ekerum golf course after he had hit the last putt on Victoriagolfen, after 18 sweaty holes on the course Långe Jan. A little over four hours long round, in tropical Öland heat.
But this is just recharging - because tonight it's the Carola concert at Solliden. And tomorrow Victoria turns 44 and for the first time in a long time, the entire royal extended family is gathered to congratulate her - Madeleine, for example, has flown 800 km to get home, and all this warms the family man Daniel.
- It is fun! he says and smiles.
Has the prince charged for tomorrow now?
- Yes absolutely! It'll be fun!
But I have to ask how the round went too?
- The round went well! We played well as a team. Although it was a bit sad that I missed the last putt, in front of your cameras as well. But golf goes up and down!

King Carl Gustaf, queen Silvia, Victoria, Daniel, Estelle, Carl Philip, Sofia and Julian arrived to Carola's concert in Solliden Sessions.
Patrick Sommerlath is there too with his three children. Leopold (Victoria's godson) has just had his 19th birthday and twin daughters Anaïs and Chloé (Carl Philip and Madeleine's goddaughters) have their 13th birthday on 15th July.

Daniel's friends had organized a surprise for him at his bachelor party: He sang with Carola. Carola performed at Victoria and Daniel's wedding party after the wedding dinner and has performed many times at Victoria's birthday concert. Daniel, Estelle and Oscar were at Carola's Christmas concert in November 2018.
The stage has been decorated for Carola:

Madeleine met this evening at Ekerum Resort Niklas Larsson, the Chair of the Executive Committee of Osby Municipality.
"Princess Madeleine was so happy to finally meet me, or maybe it's the other way around!
Tonight, for the first time ever, I met Princess Madeleine and her family in Ekerum, Öland. Chris and the children Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne were all there. Princess Madeleine was so heavenly beautiful and I expressed congratulations to the princess. Tomorrow, Crown Princess Victoria turns 44, but there will be no reception at Solliden."

Niklas Larsson has congratulated Victoria on her birthday at Solliden Palace courtyard on eleven years.

Artist Lena Philipsson thanks at her Instagram for her concerts on 9-10 July:
"Thank you so much Öland for fun gigs! Thank you to the audience who came there, you were so wonderfully happy and longing for a party! #sollidensessions"

Estelle danced with the music
Someone who really appreciated tonight's concert was Princess Estelle! When Carola played one of her hit songs, "Hey Mickey", Estelle stood up and started dancing - it seems that the princess may have a favorite song by the artist.

A Carola in top form appeared on Tuesday night in front of the royal family - and a large audience for the first time after the pandemic.
- Such flow, such dynamics, such love from the audience. I have probably never been better, says the artist after the show.
The king opened Solliden for 500 people who came to listen to Carola Häggkvist on Tuesday night. The singer is in a great mood after the show and thanks the king for making it possible for such a large audience to come.
- I thanked the king for being the first on opening up to such a large audience. It was the hottest day of the year. The king asked if my pink dress was not too warm, and sometimes it felt like I wanted to pour a bottle of water over me on stage. It felt special to sing for a large audience for the first time in so long. I received an incredibly nice reception. It was so much love.
Carola handed over a bunch of pink balloons as a birthday present to Victoria. They would match the equally pink creation she wore during the evening.
She sang a special version of "Happy Birthday" in Victoria's honor and drew all her biggest hits to the great delight of the audience. With her ESC-winner "Fångad av en stormvind" as the last.

Still some good photos from Carola's concert.

Carola has posted to her Instagram nice photos of her meeting the royal family at the concert
"Today she turns 44 years old - the world's best Crown Princess! Absolutely amazing and so genuinely genuine she is every time we meet. And also what she radiates through the TV screen and in her office. Cheers Crown Princess Victoria, she live hurray hurray hurray hurray! Very relaxed and nice meeting yesterday after the concert with the King & Queen and Your Royal Majesties when Princess Estelle held the balloons that I untied from the stage and gave to the Crown Princess as a symbolic little act the day before the birthday during the concert. Of course, you can hardly believe that the Crown Princess is already 44 years old! Time flies. And so did my shoes and the bursts of laughter when the Prince told about his experiences with me when we were in the studio together at his bachelor party when we sang duet together .. ha ha Oj oj, how nervous he was then, he told again. The King & Queen listened eagerly and laughed! The Crown Princess was mentally preparing for her big day today. And I felt very honored that the Crown Princess even took the time to come to the concert with the family. Thanks again, for all the great conversations and meetings over the years."

Two people met Victoria today at Ekerum Resort on Öland while playing padel:
"Royal padel company this Saturday morning -The last time I come unshaven to a padel court"

And a journalist met the king and queen
"A while ago, me and photographer Suvad Mrkonjic were at Solliden to do an article about the garden and the gardener Anders Johansson. His story about the plants and how to try to create a garden and park with biodiversity was fantastic. During the morning, the royal couple also show up and tell stories. I got a little tongue tied, it's not every day the king and queen just come by like that. Humble, relaxed and proud of their Solliden, they showed some of their favorites in their garden. In today's Aftonbladet you can read the article. Three pages."

No, she's been here on numerous occasions. Including her son's wedding and her grandchildren's christenings.

Sorry, I ought to have specified that I meant outside of special occasions like wedding and christenings.

I'm sure that LadyFinn will provide us with more precise examples of when Eva's been here, but yes, she's visited Sweden from time to time outside of the occasions that you mentioned.
 
Eva O'Neil attended at least one event associated with Carl's 70th birthday. Yes it was an official event but not one directly involving her son and grandchildren. Also Carl Gustaf and Silvia attended an event in either Germany and Austria that Eva plays a key role in.

I assume you refer to the Salzburg Festspiele (in Salzburg, Austria).
 
Eva O'Neill and Chris' sister Natascha von Abensperg und Traun visited Solliden on July 2019, they were seen with Chris and Madeleine.

Carola writes at her Instagram with photos of the king
"Can not stop smiling when I see this picture of the King & me when we met a while after the concert at Solliden. (My first for audiences since August last summer.) The King can be really funny and you can really see how I laugh genuinely. Thank you Karin T for nice pictures taken in the moment! Like it. What we talked about and laughed at I keep to myself. It was one of my best concerts ever, in a successful mix with both my old and new hits in acoustic swinging vintage together with the beloved Swedish song classics that went straight in. So grateful!"

What a wonderful group photo! I’m sure the King and Queen are delighted to have all their children and grandchildren together. Prince Julian is getting so big! He really reminds me of Oscar as a baby!
 
Wonderful group photo and I can't recall the last time we saw the entire royal family together.
 
King Carl Gustav and his family sends their best summer greetings with this photo taken recently at their summer home Solliden on the island of Öland.
"After having been separated for so long the Royal family is delighted to once again be reunited on the island of sun and wind.""

Wonderful photo of the Swedish Royal Family. And I think it's the first photo where the eight cousins appear together.
 
A Royal couple with all their descendants and their spouses!

I hoped so that we would see such photos concerning Grand Duke Jean of Luxemburg and Duke of Edinburgh on their respective 100th birthdays, but a fortune decided otherwise...
 
It looks odd that Victoria and Daniel are separated while all other couples stand/sit with each other. As always when at a photo, Rio is the eyecatcher, now at this photo too.
 
Baby Julian is a love. Nicholas could be an angel, and my favorite Oscar is such a little cutie.

What a gorgeous family, really beautiful in full effect!
 
What a gorgeous picture of the whole family! I really love it when we get to see these kinds of shoots from the families. Something about it really serves to humanize them in all the best ways.

But for GD Jean wo got a Group pic for his 95th birthday with most of his descendants present.

Maybe that way it's easier to the general public (like me), who might not know Carl-Philip or Madeleine's children that well by sight (especially growing up) so they put them near their respective mom&dad, while Victoria's husband and kids are that recognizable, i could pick them out on most groupshots you could show me :flowers:

By the way: that is a *great* family photo of all of them (and the dogs) ❤️

It is especially noticeable when it has been the case with seating at certain public events as well, such as Prince Daniel being placed in a back row at a Nobel Prize presentation. Correct me if I am mistaken, but I don't think that has ever occurred with the King and Queen or Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia.
 
How are they all so impossibly photogenic. ;D My favorite has to be Adrienne though, something very vintage in her looks! Charming family.
 
Wow...what a stunning family photograph.

I wonder how long and how many shots it took to get everyone looking happy and smiling. What an accomplishment!!
 
Svensk Damtidning tells that Victoria, Daniel and children were yesterday evening at little Mormors Bistro (Grandma's Bistro) in Stora Rör, about 20 minutes from Solliden Palace.
The restaurant comes with a beautiful view of Kalmarsund.
Victoria and Daniel received the tip from the director of the press department Margareta Thorgren, who is herself a regular at the bistro.
And yesterday it was time: The Crown Princess family sat down and enjoyed a cozy dinner. Their presence did not go unnoticed.
It's not every day you see royalty, so of course there was a great uproar when Victoria, Daniel, Estelle and Prince showed up at the restaurant.
That the choice fell on Mormors Bistro is not strange, the restaurant has a pronounced sense of sustainability, which of course is important for Victoria.
