I think kungahuset.se focuses as much on the official events of the prince couple, when they have official events, as those of the king and queen and the crown princess couple. The prince couple is simply present at fewer official events than the primary couples.

Yes, that is right. The work of the members of the royal family is and should be the main focus. And the royal court should report better of the royal work events. They should publish at least one photo of all events (which they now don't), and they should publish better quality photos. Then people would understand better how much the royal family works, not everyone looks at the royal calendar and notices that there have been events of which the court doesn't publish an article and photos. The way they report about Victoria's hikes is great, an article, lot of HQ photos, short video at court Instagram and a longer video at court Youtube. I hope that they would do that with other important work events too.

Sofia was yesterday at a lunch with Isabella Löwengrip and Gunhild and Petter Stordalen.

Princess Sofia about safe internet:

"Children and young people are exposed to more nets than most of us are aware of. We now want to gather stories to change what's not okay online - Together with you. Do you know someone who has been exposed to something? Or have you become yourself? Enter the site www.viberattar.se to tell us and help us create a more crisp and safer internet."

It's tradition in Sweden that if a king chooses to have a double name as a regnal name that the regnal number is based on the first name as seen in Gustav II Adolf, Karl X Gustav, Karl XIV Johan, Gustaf VI Adolf & Carl XVI Gustav.

Karl Filip, Duke of Södermanland, Närke & Värmland (1601-1622) was the youngest child of King Karl IX. He is nowadays mostly known for having been offered the Russian throne before Michael Romanov but the opportunity was lost because of his mother refusing to let her 10-year old son leave Sweden.
Filip was also the name of a medieval king & several medieval princes.

Sorry, for my late answer.

Thank you for this informations.
 
This is one very determined strong young lady and besides that, just gorgeous even with mud on her...setting positive examples for all women out there.
 
The Police of Norrmalm found on Wednesday a tired border terrier, which had been on an unknown adventure, run away from its owners. The police took the dog to their car. The patrol was later ordered to go to the base station's reception to meet the dog's owners.
Once in place, the patrol got a really royal reception. The border terrier belonged to prince Carl Philip and princess Sofia, who had been very worried about their dog.

So he inherited Dyxlexia after his father, like Victoria.
 
May 13, Prince Carl Philip turns 40 years and he has chosen to plan the whole celebration himself.
But how the celebration is going to be so far is shrouded in obscurity. The director of the press department Margareta Thorgren, says that so far she cannot say much about the plans, but that the royal house keeps that information for itself until it approaches.
But according to Expressen's royal columnist Karin Lennmor, we can expect a calmer celebration than when Crown Princess Victoria turned 40 years. Then the anniversary was celebrated with, among other things, thanksgiving service, cortege through Stockholm, salute and open reception at the Palace. Really as grandiose, it will not be when Prince Carl Philip is now celebrated.
- If you compare with the Crown Princess Victoria where it really was a big celebration, Prince Carl Philip's birthday will be a bit calmer. I think you can expect a party for friends and family of course, but much more muned than when Victoria turned years. This is because Carl Philip is not a heir to the throne and then the official celebration is a bit calmer.
According to Lennmor, the prince has chosen to plan it all himself, which Margereta Thorgren at the court also confirms.
- How the prince will celebrate is something that he will decide for himself.
However, she also signals that the Prince's celebration will not be as grand as the Crown Princess's 40th birthday.
- The Crown Princess is the successor to Sweden's head of state and therefore it was celebrated in a different way.

Looks like they have little information. Of course his birthday celebration will not be as big as Victoria's. Just like Joachim's 50th birthday won't be celebrated the same way Frederik's was last year.
 
:previous: It occurred to me as well that in most monarchies it would not have needed saying that the celebration of the sibling would be smaller than that of the heir to the throne. In Sweden, it seems that King Carl Gustaf's expressed desire for his son to be his heir is still remembered.
 
I read the English version of the article so something may have gotten lost in the translation, but it seems like most of the article is a certain reporter speculating on the celebration of Carl Philip's 40th birthday and then asking the Communications Officer leading questions to support the slant she wants to take. This reporter / commentator, based on other things she's reported on, seems to be a bit of a pot stirrer and sensationalizer. IMO.
 
Since Daniel's 40th birthday was celebrated totally privately, it should be the same with Carl Philip's 40th birthday.

Why? Daniel isn't in the line of succession, but Carl Philips surely is.

In European monarchies, spouses who become royal generally take their public position from the husband or wife who was born into royalty. Queen Silvia is not in the line of succession, but is given more importance than her sisters-in-law (they are also not in the line of succession, but I am certain the same would apply if they were). Crown Princess Mette-Marit is ahead of Princess Märtha Louise in Norway, Crown Princess Mary ahead of Prince Joachim in Denmark, Queen Mathilde ahead of Princess Astrid and Prince Laurent in Belgium, and Queen Máxima ahead of Prince Constantijn in the Netherlands, even though Mette-Marit, Mary, Mathilde, and Máxima are not in the line of succession while Märtha Louise, Joachim, Astrid, Laurent, and Constantijn are.
 
Exactly, if the spouse of the heir doesn't celebrate in public, it wouldn't be logical for the sibling of the heir to do so. Although if CP really wanted something public and Daniel just really didn't want to, I can imagine having something semi-public for CP (arrival of the guests at a public location so photographers have their pictures while the celebration itself is private).

Karin Lenmor is very much a pot stirrer and not what I'd call a reliable source. She's one of those responsible for turning Svensk Damtidning into a tabloid much like the others and have, in her articles for Expressen, many times written cutsey stories about the royals while at the same time stabbing them in the back.

Such a neat project. I must give it a read when time permits.
 
A great project indeed. It's good that Carl Philip and Sofia are raising awareness of such a topical and current issue.
 
Great to see the rest of the family watching Carl Philip skiing. Nice to see little Gabriel as we haven't seen many photos of him for a while!
