SWE: Crown Princess Victoria Of Sweden Attends Polar Music Prize

Chris didn't come - Madde had to go with Sofia and her brother
Crown Princess Victoria made a success on the Polar Prize.
At the same time, Princess Madeleine was supported by Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip - when Chris O'Neill didn't come.
Madeleine had to go with brother and sister-in-law - together they radiated outside the Grand Hôtel.
Crown Princess Victoria arrived at the Polar Prize together with husband Prince Daniel. The king came with Silvia, Prince Carl Philip brought the wife Princess Sofia - and little sister Princess Madeleine.
Madeleine's husband Chris O'Neill didn't attend the blue carpet outside Grand Hôtel before the award ceremony, or in where the prizes were awarded on Thursday night.
- Due to other commitments, Mr. Christopher O'Neill is not in a position to attend the Polar Awards this year, writes Johan Tegel, Information Officer, in a text message.
Chris O'Neill kom inte till Polarpriset

After receiving the Polar Music Prize from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden in Stockholm on Thursday (June 14), Metallica has donated its monetary award of one million Swedish Kroner (just over $130,000) to three charities.
The band is giving 50 percent of their prize money to the Stockholm City Mission, which supports the homeless;
25 percent to the World Childhood Foundation, founded by Sweden’s Queen Silvia;
and 25 percent to the Afghanistan National Institute of Music, also a recipient of this year’s Polar Music Prize.
Metallica was one of this year’s Laureates, along with Dr. Ahmad Sarmast and ANIM, the music school he founded in 2010 in response to that country’s civil war and destruction of centuries of rich musical tradition.

The Crown Princess reigns in rosa
So, wow. Earlier today I gave a longer interview with a large newspaper in Finland about Crown Princess Victoria, her role - and her style. Then I had no idea that she would totally reign at the Polar Prize in 2019 a few hours later…
Yes, just like my phenomenal colleague Emilia, so she matched the pink carpet - wow! And like Emilia, the Crown Princess chose the star shot Selam Fessahaye! So fun after all!
Yes, you see, there were two queens on the pink carpet. Wonderfully neat, glamorous and cool, Emilia. And the Crown Princess. Don't know what I love most with the crown princess dress but I think ... In fact, that it is unpredicted.
Simply put, she, along with the brilliant stylist Tina Törnqvist, constantly continues to surprise. If I had been guessing the look tonight, I would hardly have thought "Hmm, she surely drives a pink tulle caramel with extra everything?": Love it.
Messages thunder in from all directions in my mobile and choose to quote our Confident style-colleague Camilla: "Safe style-pink has never been more right"!

This year’s Polar Music Prize ceremony, honouring Laureates Diane Warren and Anna Netrebko, is postponed due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Originally planned for June 9, 2020, the Polar Music Prize award ceremony and banquet will now take place on Saturday May 22, 2021 in Stockholm.
Marie Ledin, managing director of the Polar Music Prize, said: “The most important consideration for us, and the top priority, is the safety and wellbeing of the Polar Music Prize Laureates, the Swedish Royal Family, artists, musicians, guests and all the staff involved. We look forward to an extra special event in 2021.”

I adore Anna Netrebco's glorious soprano voice. As with most opera singers it has grown richer and more glorious with age. What a deserving recipient.
 
Marg:
I also LOVE Anna Netrebko’s glorious voice. When she sang with Dimitri Khvorostovsky, it was heavenly. Or when she sings with Elena Garanca, also magnificent. Or, simply alone with the soprano floating upward.
 
The Polar Music Prize Board has decided to cancel this year’s Polar Music Prize ceremony. Prize winners for 2022 will be announced in February next year, and the prize ceremony will be held on May 24th, 2022.

The style award, on the other hand, goes to Crown Princess Victoria.
Crown Princess Victoria in a specially made Totême
“Crown Princess Victoria stole the show in the evening's most elegant look - not very surprising as it is signed incredible Totême. The stylish set, which is specially sewn for the Crown Princess, has a classic silhouette with a modern twist. Glad she dared to invest in a trendy outfit for the rock night!”

Looking back on 30 Years of the Polar Music Prize, managing director Marie Ledin reflected to Billboard on her father Stig Anderson's creation of the prestigious international prize.
It’s accurate to call the two main events of the Prize a “royal ceremony” and a “royal banquet,” as King Carl XVI Gustaf is present for both and appears on stage to hand the Prize to the laureates. Ledin says that the King was enthusiastic about the Prize right from the beginning. “He loved the idea and the royal family has been very supportive, which we are very happy about. It’s a great honor to have them with us at the ceremony and banquet and it means so much to the laureates to receive the prize from the King. The year we honored Grandmaster Flash I did wonder how the King would respond to rap music, but as ever, he smiled throughout and enjoyed meeting Grandmaster Flash.”

Best dressed at Polar Music Prize
Crown Princess Victoria 5/5 points
Crown Princess Victoria really offered a gala look we won't soon forget and wasn't shy when it came to the color choice either. In a neon yellow dress with an asymmetrical cut and with lots of pleats that created an incredible silhouette, it can't be anything other than a full pot.
Prince Carl Philip and princess Sofia 4/5 points

Wow!
Crown Princess Victoria is celebrated for her delicious gala style.
The royal was a hit in her magnificent yellow dress.
She dares, wants and can. Now Crown Princess Victoria, 45, proves again that she is one of the most stylish royals in the world.

Victoria stole the show – shone in Swedish design
All eyes were drawn to Crown Princess Victoria, who lit up in neon yellow on the red carpet before the Polar Prize.
The Crown Princess chose, as so often, Swedish design – and budget. Victoria often wears Swedish design, and not infrequently from the clothing giant H&M. This particular dress has previously been sold in a polka dot pattern. It came last year and cost SEK 4,000.

A pity that Laureate Arvo Pärt couldn't come to Sweden, but it is quite understandable, he is 87 years old.
This is one of the highlights of the year, to see the Laureates and hear their music played.

Flower arrangements at the arrival and the royal women's bouquet are from flower shop Mimosa.
