Expressen's Johan T Lindwall met the king and Victoria at the end of their visit to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.
Lindwall writes that the King and the Crown Princess have been very active lately and worked often side by side.
The King and Victoria were at the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency as head of state and the heir to a few hours to get a review of the authority's very important activity in Sweden and abroad, everything from emergency preparedness to the civil defense. Lindwall asked from the king about the visit and the king had just explained how incredibly important the Agency's work is to the society when the Crown Princess was asked the same question, and she said quickly:
- I say just the same as my father!
The king stood beside and said:
- Oh, oh well ...
The Crown Princess therefore agrees with the previous speaker?
- Yes, short and concisely, Victoria laughed.
The King said (joking):
- For once!
Then he became serious and stressed how impressed he is by the Agency and their activities:
- There is a giant authority making an incredibly important work. They must always have a complete grasp of the situation in Sweden and abroad in order to anticipate and prevent. For something that one hopes will not come to happen. They have to all the time see the various scenarios and the worst that could happen. If it is forest fires, volcanic ash or whatever it is about. The unpredictable can happen and we must be prepared, said the king. His colleague Victoria nodded at her father's side.

I think one shouldn't be surprised by these joint engagements. After all, Victoria is the heir to throne, and she has been attending those engagements with the King.

Yes, and both the king and Victoria are very interested about new energy, climate, nature, environment and climate change. The king must feel good about that his daughter shares his interests in these serious issues.

He should be proud of his daughter. She reprents Sweden so well, and she always carries a professional attitude and look interested in serious issues. It is good to see them collaborate!

Sverigemiddag are not a strictly gown affair- this is the first time Victoria has worn a gown, she normally wears a cocktail dress so there is nothing wrong with what Sofia is wearing.

At the Sweden Dinners in 2013 and 2014 Victoria wore a short dress and queen Silvia a long dress - because the dress code at the invitation gives the ladies a choice to wear a long or a short dress. And because some of the guests are wearing a short dress, it is polite from the royal family that some of the royal ladies wears a short dress too.

Sara Hector, an alpine ski racer, was one of the guests at the Sweden Dinner on 4th September. It was her 23th birthday. She tells about the dinner at her blog.

Last Friday, I turned 23 and celebrated the evening at the palace with the royal family. Nothing strange about that, me and the king are very close friends ... Or maybe not really. I was like a little kid on Christmas Eve or the first day on the snow of the year. Perhaps more just that I thought it was so cool that I had ended up there. So very cool. Hahah, I'm a bit of a nerd .. but you have to take that .. In any case, "Skier Sara" was invited to the palace.

Little mingling and then all the guests got to greet the royal family. My biggest shock was that Victoria and Daniel congratulated me for a very fine last season. They were all super nice. Then we went up to the White Sea, the room where Sofia and Carl-Philip had their wedding dinner this summer. Very beautifully decorated. Well at my table, located in the middle out of the room I found out the shock that the king sits at my table. Soooooo cool. Carl XVI Gustaf was very nice and very happy. The king told me that he always went skiing one week every year in February, so it was soon time to start training to cope with going with little effort! Recent years have been spent in Switzerland and I understand the choice out of country. The most beautiful land to ski in. The dinner began with a very fine speech from the king who gave us a few laughs and then the fantastic good food. The best I have tasted in my life almost I think. It ended with an thank you speech from a county governor of Uppsala, if I remember correctly. Then it was little mingling down in a hall with coffee. Then I got a chance to talk to Princess Sofia and Prince Daniel and other very nice and interesting people. A very exciting evening been summarized in that new meetings are always so interesting and very fun to experience.

I never thought about it before but when you say "focus issues" it sounds to me as if you imply that the Court decides on the forehand what themes they want to focus on each year?
