Countess Marianne Bernadotte told on Thursday morning at the press meeting about her favorite designer Balmain.
- It was my husband who had met Balmain in Copenhagen. So when my father-in-law, the old king, turned 80, then I had to have a beautiful evening gown. So then Sigvard took me to Paris. And then I got to see everything beautiful, says Marianne Bernadotte among her outfits at Millesgården.
It was 1962, and Marianne Bernadotte had become fond of a orange dress, but Sigvard Bernadotte thought it was better with something more discreet to King Gustaf VI Adolf's celebration, so it became a cream-colored silk dress with a white mink stole.
- But Balmain sent the orange one too. Marianne had the same measurements as the models, says Stig Dahlin, who with his brother Bo Dahlin have picked out what clothes to be displayed at the exhibition.
- You want to have width. We have 56 dolls and would happily have had more, says Stig Dahlin.
Among the clothes are dresses worn at the Nobel banquet, royal christenings and weddings and are made from the early 60s to the present day. Many of the clothes come from Pierre Balmain, or Erik Mortensen, who took over the fashion house Balmain whenBalmain died.
Do you remember all the times you have been wearing these clothes?
- Some, but not quite all. One has of course favorites, says Marianne Bernadotte.

Dagmar von Arbin, the daughter of count Carl Bernadotte af Wisborg and baroness Marianne de Geer, celebrates today her 101st birthday. Dagmar's grandfather was Prince Oscar Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg, elder brother of King Gustav V.

Dagmar is in relatively good health and attends at the royal family celebrations. She attended a couple of weeks ago at the funeral of Noppe Lewenhaupt.

Svensk Damtidning published this week the interview of countess Marianne Bernadotte, done because of the exhibition "Chanel, Balmain, Dior Marianne Bernadotte – a style icon". The interview was done at Royal Djurgården.
Marianne says that it is fun with beautiful outfits, but she doesn't buy anything new now, she has everything she needs. It is fantastic to wear the outfits but it obligates, you have to do your best. Sigvard took her to fashion houses, before that she was as an actress most used to stage clothes. Sigvard died 15 years ago, Marianne still misses him every day.
To her 90th birthday Marianne ordered a dress from Pär Engsheden, who designed Victoria's wedding dress. The colour Marianne found when she cut a leek at her kitchen. She took the leek with her to Engsheden to show the light green shade she wanted. Marianne says that the likes green, it is a wonderful colour.
Victoria held a speech at the inauguration of the exhibition at Millesgården. A gesture which shows how much her father's aunt means to the family. Marianne smiles and says that she and Victoria are close and she thinks it was so sweet that Victoria wore queen Silvia's Chanel jacket at the inauguration. A wink to Marianne and the french fashion houses.
Marianne has made significant efforts for young people with reading and writing difficulties and contributed to the research on children's eye diseases. She suffered with her little brother who had difficulties in school as dyslexia was still an unknown concept and her little son's vision deteriorated drastically towards the end of his short life. Marianne puts herself in helping others and just as when she stood on stage, her driving force is huge. A philanthropist that reaches far out in the world.

Countess Bettina Bernadotte inaugurated on Friday King Carl XVI Gustaf's Rhododendron Collection at Sofiero Palace in Helsingborg, Sweden.
https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=99b0bdec7448789e7faf0d905414f82e&oe=59B10E53

Count Michael Bernadotte told about his childhood memories from Sofiero.
https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=fe0c603108b7c1b64946fe60f4b45d10&oe=59E363DB

As a gift to King Carl XVI Gustaf on his 70th birthday, The City of Helsingborg gave a completely new planting in his name in the northern Rhododendron ravine of Sofiero. The new rhododendron collection is inspired by the King's grandfather, Gustav VI Adolf, who, with great curiosity and experimental pleasure, built the unique collection that exists with us today.
Kung Carl XVI Gustafs rhododendronkollektion - Sofiero

The first vice-chairman of the Helsingborg city council's Lena Bjerne said at her speech:
- It has become so that when Helsingborg donates a gift to the royal family, it must stay in the city and our citizens must benefit from it. When our city hall opened, Oscar II celebrated the 25th anniversary at the throne. He then received a glass painting in the City Hall as a gift. And when Prince Oscar was born last year, the city gave as a gift a fairytale forest, where children can stay at the trees and listen to fairy tales.
Count Michael Bernadotte of Wisborg, the king's cousin, was also in Sofiero. Among other things, he told us about the memories he has from his visits to Sofiero as a child. It was not only salt bath in the swimming and playing in the park.
- Grandfather wanted to tell about all the plants. He took us on long walks around the whole castle park. He was a big man and went with long, determined steps. It was a little ritual which was done with all visitors, he says.
Countess Bettina Bernadotte, who traveled from Mainau, said at her speech:
- It's a special art to create a garden. Being able to conceive and create something that you may never see or experience yourself. It's good for us people to feel the rhythm of nature, as you do then. It teaches us to love nature and, in the long run, also protect it. Something that's needed today.
- I hope there will be many interested people to wander and look at this path, said Bettina Bernadotte when the ribbon was cut.

The new Lindau Science Trail serves as a permanent embodiment of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, their history and first and foremost makes “Nobel knowledge” accessible to everyone. The Lindau Science Trail can be followed not only by those living in and around the picturesque city of Lindau; visitors from all over the world can go on their very own journey of discovery.
On knowledge pylons that are spread out all around Lindau, one can learn more about the everyday applications of scientific phenomena.
