Crown Princess Victoria's Birthday (Victoriadagen) - July 14: 2008-2016


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
:previous: agree. Estelle did look a little bit tired/bored at the concert. But well behaved. She looked much more cheerful in the morning greeting

At least we can presume she is going to sleep all night long:lol:
 
Great photos of the events :flowers:

Oscar is adorable and sure looks like his sis at that age ;)

Estelle is sweet as ever. She looked a bit tired and bored at the concert. I think they should have waited a year or two. Long day for her. :sad:



Laughed a little at CG. From his somewhat shocked look and Vic's laughter I assume he either tooted (didn't send him off for diaper change or perhaps I missed that) or he was about to cry.

Nice to see everyone there. I think Chris is a mix of perhaps not understanding enough Swedish to really enjoy. And just not comfortable at these events with media attention.

And it is always nice to see Karolin A. Johansson, the Marshal of the Court and the Head of HRH Crown Princess's Household. She is such an elegant woman. She collects flowers and presents to her basket every year, like the other members of the court staff. Estelle took flowers and presents from the guests and took them to Karolin before she went in.

Svensk Damtidning about Victoria's presents: flowers, drawings, spettekaka, bracelets. And that great balloon with text "Till Estelle" to Estelle. Estelle got also Elsa from Frozen.

Johan T Lindwall interviewed Victoria for Expressen. He congratulated Victoria and asked how the day had been so far. Victoria said that turning years isn't so special, but celebrating with the people there is, so many people. Daniel came there and joked "So the song in the morning didn't mean anything?". "Yes, absolutely, but otherwise I'm not so keen to turn years but to be with family and to be able to be here makes the day". Victoria told that Estelle didn't give any drawings as a present. Lindwall said that Daniel told that he sang, willingly but not so well. Is that true? Yes, Victoria laughed. Victoria told that the day continues with going to Borgholm Sports arena and delivering the Victoria scholarship. Lindwall says that you met Henrik Lundqvist in the morning, and Victoria said that it was nice and it is always great to meet Sweden's sports personalities. While reminded about that Estelle played with Lundqvist's daughter Charlise, Victoria said that it went very well.

Many people visit Solliden every year to greet Victoria. In the audience were quantities of flowers and gifts, most obviously for the birthday child. But there were also those who had thought of the rest of the family.
- I have flowers to Daniel, because we don't celebrate his birthday, said Himla Lindsäth.
The Crown Princess herself gave a big thank you to everyone who celebrated her but stressed especially those who were coming again. One of them was Ebba Heitzmann from Gothenburg. She is twelve years old and was on site at Solliden for the seventh time.
- I like the crown princess family and am interested in them. They seem so very nice and I like the Crown Princess's charisma, she says.
For some, Victoria Day is very tradition-filled. For example, one group stands every year at the same place.
- We stand at the same place every year so that Victoria knows where I am and I can get a hug, says Laila Tegnér and shows a photo the King took of her and Victoria. Since 2004, she and her husband have celebrated Victoria Day at Solliden while celebrating Laila's own birthday. The crown princess has noticed that.
- We often talk about that we both have a birthday. She usually says thank you the same when I say congratulations, Laila says.
This year was extraordinary, when also queen Silvia heard that there is another birthday child on site. A spontaneous "Ja, må hon leva" was sung directed by the queen. Laila Tegnér said happily that it wasn't a bad birthday.

"After three magnificent days on Öland I am now back on the west coast. Incredibly proud and happy that I yesterday received the Victoria Scholarship delivered by the birthday girl herself. A big thank you to all who worked on Victoria Day and welcomed me and my family in a fantastic way, not least our Swedish royal family."

Here's some screen shots of Victoria's interview shown at the "Grattis Kronprinsessan!" -concert. First was shown a video of the work of Victoriafonden (The Crown Princess Victoria's Fund) with a clip from FUB Jönköping and then Victoria was interviewed about Victoriafonden's work and her participation in it. The Fund's aim is to enable children and young people with disabilities and / or chronic illness to get active leisure time. This is done mainly through supporting in various types of recreational activities. The Fund supports such as camps, trips / excursions and different sports, activities which require extra staff and appropriate equipment, and that would be difficult to implement without the support from the Fund.

Victoriafonden has during the years collected over 115 million SEK. Victoriafonden works as a part of Radiohjälpen.

And now Radiohjälpen tells at their Facebook, that this year during the concert people donated over 2,2 million SEK (last year about 1,8 million SEK) to Victoriafonden.

On Friday was Victorialoppet, a run, where there was about 2500 runners. It was organized for 36th time, there were 9 km Victorialoppet and and 4 km Victoriajogget. And own classes for youngsters and children. The organizers had started collaboration with Victoriafonden and had a little higher participation fee this year so that they could donate a part of the fee to Victoriafonden this year, they haven't done that before.

Ölandsbladet writes that Victoriadagen puts Öland on the map
Once again Victoriadagen proved its worth for Öland. The celebration of Crown Princess Victoria brings a lot of media, from Sweden and abroad. ÖB's reporter was at Solliden several hours before the event, and already a lot of photographers sought the best place in the area assigned to them. Interest in the royal family is on top.
That both princess Estelle and Prince Oscar were at Solliden causes extra media hysteria. And Estelle also at the concert too.
For Öland's tourism the royal celebration is important.
That Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel have built a house at Solliden means that we can expect that the royal family will be in Öland many years to come.
At Solliden royal family can walk among the visitors and receive people's tributes. And gather at Borgholm sports stadium to celebrate the crown princess with some of the best artists and the rest of the crowd. In a world of terror, it is fantastic that the royal family can do that.
Victoriadagen is a given peak in Öland's summer and not likely to be less in focus in the coming years. Next year the crown princess celebrates her 40th birthday and in 2018 Victoriadagen celebrates 40 years. All credit to Kay Wiestål and IFK Borgholm for fixing this event that really sets Öland on the map.

I think all the men, babies to seniors should :flowers:

And not this cutesy version which really is modern clothes but in Swedish colors. But the proper man's costume. What is good for the goose should b good for the gander.

Agree! Both should wear them when the event calls for it.

LadyFinn thank you for all the links and information

Gallery from the concert from Facebook of photographer Per Jahnke, who takes the "official" photos for the organizer of Victoriadagen every year. At the gallery are also photos of Daniel golfing a day before.

Svensk Damtidning's reporter Anna von Koch tells at her article, that she gave a big flower bouquet to Victoria and two small ones to her children. Victoria was very happy to get them. Daniel had told that on that morning he hadn't done his normal jogging round. In the end of the event in Solliden Victoria and her family posed for the photographers again and Victoria said "Thank you to you all, you have done a wonderful job today!"

Anna von Koch also speculates that during the concert Victoria told to Estelle, that it was Adrian's mother, Charlotte Perrelli, who was singing at the stage. Perrelli's son Adrian is at the same preschool than Estelle.
