I have not seen this thread before or I would have contributed before.
I have actually met Princess Sibylla the year before she passed away. You could clearly see that she was unwell but at the time there had been no official announcement that she was ill. She was a very nice lady, polite and...
Sofia probably takes pride in being disrespectfull to the highest Royal order of Sweden by inventing her own rules for wearing the order.

Sorry for the misspelling of intriguing, finger trouble....

You are probably right, it's Scandinavian humour.
