Crown Princess Victoria, Current Events Part 5: May 2006 - June 2007

[PreDoc]

I also agree, but in a certain way she seems like Anne of the UK. She doesn't really have to glam it up like commoners who marry heirs and must always be wary of another woman waiting in the wings to make her move. Instead, Victoria will presumably be Queen in her own right and the situation is reversed.

So she has choices in the way she presents herself that royal-by-marriage women wouldn't dare try to get away with for fear of losing favor with their husbands. Consequently, Victoria wields an enormous amount of latitude in what she decides is and is not stylish (i.e. if she decides a ponytail and glasses are stylish it will have absolutely no affect on the men who would kill to have her hand in marriage).

The crown princess has Monday (15th May) "meeting friends of art" at Prins Eugen Waldemarsudde and 17th May Opening exhibition "North meet south"!

Do you know, which events are these?

This past Wednesday, 17 May, Crown Princess Victoria opened two exhibitions at Nordiska Museet in Stockholm. The two exhibitions are called “North meets South” (by trend oracle Li Edelkoort) and the other one “Summer Craft 2006”.

At the World Wildlife Fund’s Annual Meeting on Wednesday this past week, attended by the King, Crown Princess Victoria was elected into their Trust Committee.

- I have a great interest and involvement for the nature. As environment- and nature issues becomes more important, it's natural for me to support the WWF's important landscape protection around the world, says the Crown Princess in a press release.

King Carl XVI Gustaf has been chairman of the committee since the WWF launched in Sweden in 1971, and now also the heir to the throne takes a step to get more involved in their issues. The World Wildlife Fund's Trust Council consists of around 50 representatvies from organisations, business life and the sciences, and is to be a link between decision making individuals in the different sectors of the society.

GrandDuchess, thanks for the information about opening the exhibition at Wednesday at Nordiska Museet.

I think the picture by WWF is on old pic - it was from 1st December 2005.

Victoria is glaming up a lot these days, isn't she?
The last week I've seen her wearing lots of dresses and skirts, she's very elegant and that black hat is incredibly chic

 

[SusanneSNS]

Thank you so much, purple_platinum, for finding those beautiful pictures. Especially from the meeting on Monday I havn't seen anything before. Great pictures. Victoria looks absolutely fabulous. I like this hat. It is very elegant indeed.

Thanks for those photos. Victoria looks really lovely, although I'm not too sure about the hat. Although she's still wearing the pony-tail, it doesn't look as bad and looks nice with her outfit.

 

[ursulajohanna]

Thanks purple platinum for the lovely pictures from Monday and Wednesday of the crown princess. She looks fabulous and happy.
It's the first pictures I saw from Monday, wonderful of you to find the pics!

 

[magnik]

Great photos purple platinum. I love Victoria's hat. She looks great
Maybe different shoes but she still looks great.
That's my old, good, elegant, graceful Victoria which I know and like so much.

 

[ysbel]

I love her hat and scarf. Yes, I agree with you bbb, very stylish. What is the Artists' Friends? Is it a cooperative studio?

 

[GrandDuchess]

What is the Artists' Friends? Is it a cooperative studio?

The Society of Friends of the Artists’ is an institution that was originally founded in 1937 with the help of Prince Eugen ("the painting prince"), whom actively supported it and was the society's chairman until his death. The society's purpose is to secure artists standard of living and comfort as people whom have been active in the art (artists) age, done via a fund which today holds a fortune of around 100 million SEK, and yearly award circa 2 million SEK.

The society's regulations says the following:
"awarded to Swedish male or female painters, sculptors, grahic artists or (drawing) artists who because of high age or illness have had their work capacity reduced and therefore are in need of economic support"

Their annual gathering is by tradition held every year in May at Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde on Royal Djurgården in Stockholm. When the Prince was still alive and acted as the society's chairman, he was alway the meeting's personal host. After his death, both King Gustav VI Adolf, Queen Louise, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia have been protectors of the society and continued the tradition of having royal attendance at their annual meetings.

thanks for the photos, the princess gets more beautiful everyday. Her smile is so pretty and expressive, she seems to have a warm, giving personality.

Victoria looks beautiful at the latest pictures, but it´s a shame I think that she wears those clothes again so soon after she used them last time. Let´s give her some days off so that she can go shopping...

I am loving her style and the ponytail slowly going away. She is very elegant but young and fresh at the same time. She is doing a great job. I hope we get a royal wedding soon.

 

[Danielle]

I really love what she's done with her hair here: http://img120.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc228&image=66885_5.jpg I can't quite see it all, but it's a marked improvement from the ponytail. To be honest here, I find this jacket to be oversized and far too heavy. I mean, maybe it was very cold, but it just looks far too big and untidy. A bit too casual.

 

[Caswallan]

Well this week she recycles too much next week she spends astronomical amounts of money on clothes/shoes.

 

[PreDoc]

On a serious note I just read on another thread that she has Aide-de-Camps instead of Ladies in Waiting which may explain many of her fashion faux pas. Nonetheless, for someone dressed by military servants she sometimes looks glamorous and smiles graciously.
