Iceflower, thanks for posting the lovely pictures of the Childhood-Gala in New York. Both, the queen and princess Madeleine look beautiful on yesterday evening.

What are they doing the last days together in New York?

I donīt like princess Madeleineīs outfit at all. And the Queen, her once beautiful face looks very strange.

Like Princess Madelaine's hairstyle at this NY charity gala event. Seems to point to a more mature outlook from the beautiful princess who looked her usual glamorous self.

What is the world childhood foundation btw? The same foundation that usually gives a charity ball in Paris each year, where many royals attend? The one where Queen Paola and many other royals and first ladies are involved in too? Or is this a different organization?

Madelaine seems to be wearing some nice earrings, are they new and fake or real stones? The necklace of Queen Silvia is one of the few modern pieces of royal jewelry that I can stand btw, and it is nice to see some green gems in the Swedish collection.

World Childhood is a foundation build by Queen Silvia in the year 1999.

The "Paris"Foundation do you mean is a different foundation (build of Mrs. Chirac)!

Here a link to Queen Silvia World Childhood Foundation:

The WCF was indeed founded by Queen Silvia herself, and the organization has raised more than $30 million since 1999, the money being donated worlwide to aid projects benefiting underprivileged and exploited children. Princess Madeleine works at WCF's headquartes in Stockholm and is likely to continue her mother's work one day.
Princess Madeleine's earrings are new but costume jewelry, unfortunately... Regarding the modern emerald set, Queen Silvia has had it since the mid-eighties. And as for the Swedish emeralds in general: Queen Silvia owns not only this one but two more complete modern emerald & diamond suites, apart from the historic Bernadotte emeralds. No shortage of green gems for her!
