The estonian press has very well noticed that Victoria is dressed on the colours of the Estonian flag.

Such a nice gesture from the president to change her jacket and wear the colours of the swedish flag.

It was raining when they arrived to the military ship Wambola of the Estonian Navy to get to Naissaar. Later on the rain stopped and they came out. But there was quite windy... and wet... but Victoria and the president didn't seem to mind.

"Sweden is one of our closest partners - both at the political level and in trade, but in fact our paths are interwoven through the twists of history in the stories of many families, and this communication is strong today. Today, we understand the world in a very similar way - both in Europe and around us, as well as environmental issues and problems that are increasingly on the agenda in the immediate vicinity of the Baltic Sea.
The main topics on which our meeting was focused were the close cooperation between the two countries in the field of economics, especially in digital matters and environmental protection.
We will jointly move from Kadriorg to Naissaar, and in the evening we will go to the Singing Festival."

The royal court tells about the visit at their website among others
At the church service at the Chapel, the Crown Princess couple received the book "Minnen från Nargö" (Memories from Nargö) and signed a memorial board. Thereafter, representatives from the Estonian Swedish areas of Rågøarna, Ormsö and Runö gave their greetings.
During the trip back to Tallinn from Nargö, Lauri Tammiste, head of the Stockholm Environment Institute's office in Tallin, and senior expert Evelin Piisalu told about the BLASTIC project, which shows the plastic waste's way from urban areas to the Baltic Sea, as well as about Estonia's work on the UN's global sustainability goals.

It's interesting that Victoria and Daniel use every minute of the visit to get new information about the things that interest them. They didn't just come back to Tallinn at military ship Wambola, but they had program at the ship. President Kaljulaid left from Naissaar with a police boat.

President Kaljulaid has put photos to her Facebook: planting the tree, visit to Naissaar and the Singing Festival. She writes that it was a great pleasure to share the Estonian song tradition with crown princess Victoria and prince Daniel, who had already heard a lot about it.
Kuninga tamm, Naissaar ja Üheslaulmine printsess Victoriaga _ Facebook

President Kersti Kaljulaid was interviewed today at an event and she told about Victoria and Daniel at the Singing Festival that the princess sang Estonian-language songs.
- She sang, she sang with great joy, and I tried to translate these lyrics to her. I told that this is a song that all three years old already know, and then you explain that now is a party and so on.
However, according to Kaljulaid, the crown princess seemed to like especially one song. The crown princess's favorite song was "Mats alati on tubli mees" (Mats is always a good man). Because one of their colleagues was Mats, the president explained (The First Marshal of the Court Mats Nilsson, who was with Victoria and Daniel at the visit).
