Help! Official Formal Portraits?
 
I'm doing a research project, and I was wondering if any of you lovely knowledgeable people can help me.

I'm trying to figure out what the official Swedish royal portraits would have been in 2001. The closest I can find that look about right would be the below, but I can't figure out exactly when these were taken.

Does anyone know how often the King and Queen take formal portraits?

Thank you so much for your help!

According to the website of the Royal Court these pictures are from 2002. In the link below (only available in Swedish) you can find some official portraits of the King.

Kingen, thank you!! Your sleuthing is much appreciated. What's funny is it looks like the painting done in 1996 was the exact same pose? Weird!

Any chance you know what the corresponding Queen Silvia portrait would be to this King Carl (1996) portrait?

I have tried to find a matching photo of Her Majesty but without results. And I have no really idea about what photo it can be either.
