Thanks for these wonderful photos, GrandDuchess. The King and Queen look great as usual. So does the Crown Princess. I won´t go as far as saying I love the hairstyle(might cause a riot) but I like how it goes with her profile. She´s very distinct and lovely and beautiful and...

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Thanks you lots.So beautiful!

More great photos. Thanks, GrandDuchess. Looks like the King is getting ready for the arm-waving display that he gives on his eldest daughter´s birthday every year. Just practicing for now. "Arms out". Loosen them up. :)

Victoria will join her parents for their official visit to Norway:) . There is one gala the first day. Wonder what dress she will bring? Surly not a certain green dress and deffenetly not the button tiara

Here is the Program from the visit in Norwegian, I dont have time to translate now, but maybe later. Seems the King of Norway will not take part in the intired program, maybe not fully recovered yet. Anyway it is great that Victoria will also go to Norway

And last year on her birthday, when Expressen waited in the afternoon (Yeees, dear friends, not morning...AFTERnoon) in front of her apartment to congratulate her, she told, that she unfortunately hadn´t the chance to meet her parents, because they "had" to work. And she also wasn´t sure, what would be in the evening.
A clear case of "birthday bullying"

Hallo Lena,
many thanks for the lovely pics. Did you not see pics from meeting the colloquium at Stockholmer castle with the queen, king and crown princess?

IMO, the more I have to look at them, those new glasses of CP Victoria are completely terrible. Even on a guy, they would seem to be considered something of a joke - far too butch & mucho macho - but on a young woman?!
Their shape completely destroys the lines of those beautifully arched eyebrows of hers and her great eyes, making her not-so-great features (nose and chin) stand out all the more.
In the pics above, she wears what I consider to be the first blck pantsuit I've ever seen that manages to make a slim woman fat instead of the other way round... Also, if she insists on a ponytail, didn't anybody ever tell her that there are many beautiful accessories out there to hold it together apart from a kitchen rubberband?
She's doing a great job and I REALLY like her, otherwise I wouldn't care this much... in terms of her appearance she needs help- like NOW! If she goes on at this rate, there's going to be some emergency for the global fashion police soon!

[Yennie]

I agree with you Boris!

But in Victorias defence, I must say that those glasses looks 10 times better irl. Not as dark or "hard". They looks very funky (in loss of a better word *lol*)
But they looks really bad in photos. And for someone who´s photographed as much as she is, that should be a very important reason to think of when chosing glasses

I called by my Opticians yesterday and noticed that there were several pairs similar so I think they may be in fashion.
