Victoria, Daniel and Family, General News Part 5: January 2021 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Lovely! It would be wonderful if the next generation of Scandinavian crown princess/es could grow to become as close as the current one. While an age gap is present between Princess Estelle and her Norwegian and Danish counterparts, it is about equal to that between Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Victoria who are nonetheless close friends.

At Facebook of the Norwegian Royal Court
The Crown Prince Couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra spent some beautiful late summer days on Gotland in the Baltic Sea last weekend, together with the Swedish Crown Princess family. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have close and intimate contact with the Scandinavian Royal Houses, and greatly appreciated the visit to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.

Why wasn't Sverre Magnus with them?
 
According to the german newspaper he had to stay in school. And according to this news: https://www.schweizer-illustrierte....nd-victoria-geniessen-zeit-mit-ihren-liebsten

Sverre Magnus is not an official member of the royal family, after all, he is “only” the second born. So it is quite possible that the trip to Sweden had a more official character than the picture suggests, and that Sverre Magnus was actually not there. Or that he was there, but not included in the official picture, Mette-Marit and Haakon often keep him out of the public eye.
 
To be royal means luxury, luxury luxury.
Yes, but our Crown Princess also likes to carry real budget finds.
This week she dressed in a colorful suit. The jacket is listed as "coming soon" on the website and has been reduced from SEK 1,499 to SEK 799. The pants also seem to be sold out at the moment, but the price tag is SEK 899.

Svensk Damtidning writes that Victoria and Daniel both live and work together, and the time with the pandemic seems to have made them even more welded together. They celebrate 20 years as a couple, that it is such a long time is almost a little hard to comprehend!
It was in 2001 that Victoria entered the Master Training gym in Stockholm and got Daniel Westling as her personal trainer. She was 24, and he was 28. They became friends and then much more.
- Quite early on, we wanted to believe that it would be us. At least I did, Victoria said much later.
And Daniel said:
- The more I got to know her, the more irresistible she became. I simply fell in love and that the love was answered felt clear.
Since then, they have been the royal family's own power couple. Victoria has turned 44, Daniel has just turned 48. They have celebrated a steel wedding and are proud parents of Oscar and Estelle.
20 years as a couple and 11 years as married. Victoria and Daniel both live and work together and during the pandemic they have spent basically all their time at home together. Side by side, they have had their video meetings at the dining room table at Haga. A very special period, which has probably made them even more welded together, both as a couple and the royal super team they are. When you see them together, you are always struck by how synchronized they are.

Daniel was on Friday at the International Powerlifting Federation's World Classic Championships in Halmstad, Sweden. He was there to support Niklas Ek, his friend from childhood, working as a project manager at Generation Pep.
Niklas (born 1974) got bronze overall in his class Masters 1 less than 66 kilos. He got silver in deadlift and bronze in squat and bench press.

Svenska Styrkelyftförbundet/Sweden Powerlifting Federation's reporter interviewed Daniel.
What does the prince do in bench press?
Today, the championships had with a royal presence. Prince Daniel was there to see his childhood friend @niklasek take off.
The prince of course has some experience of powerlifting as he grew up in Ockelbo where @ockelbo_atletklubb is the place for heavy lifting. He says that in his youth he made a ten on a bench of a hundred kilos. Three white lights for the prince.

On September 29, most pandemic restrictions were removed and it was free to go to the pub.
Which celebrity we would like to have as company over a beer at the pub? At the top of the list are Leif GW Persson, followed by Crown Princess Victoria and Anders Bagge. In shared fourth place are Zara Larsson and Janne Andersson, coach for the men's national football team.
The Sifo survey was conducted by Kantar Public on behalf of Carlsberg Sweden. It is based on about 1100 interviews, among the Swedish public aged 20 to 79 years and is nationally representative. The data collection was carried out between 28 September and 1 October 2021.

Stylish in gray - Victoria's handsome hit made from donated blankets
Dare to have an all-gray look may not be obvious to everyone. But here the Crown Princess shows that it can be very interesting if it lands right.
At a visit to Alvesta Victoria once again wore a well-tuned look - now in gray tones and with a spotless selection of both materials and accessories. But most of all, we want to highlight the stylish jacket with lashes from Remake Sthlm's autumn collection, which is made from gifts donated to Stockholm's City Mission.
- Victoria plays with the gray neutral color scale and builds her look tone-on-tone in a stylish way. She also shows her burning interest in sustainable fashion here by wearing a gorgeous jacket from Stockholm City Mission's own fashion brand Remake, says Damernas Värld's fashion director Lisa Pettersson.
Remake Stockholm is Stockholm City Mission's fashion brand and is run as a non-profit social enterprise with work integration as its goal. Victoria has been the patron of Stockholm City Mission since 2010.

"I'm in love with the royal Cavapoo Rio So I have to tell you… we were out walking in Hagaparken during lunch today, I saw a dog (Rio) and ran towards him… mom screamed and I ran obediently to her and sat down next to her, but just when she was about to relax I took the chance and ran to Rio. Mom ran after me and realized that it was Crown Princess Victoria, her two bodyguards and Rio that I ran into. It all ends with mom and Victoria talk about us for about 15 minutes, me and Rio get to play loose and the bodyguards laugh and stand about 10m away and stare. When we were "done" I did not want to leave Rio so mom had to chase me around Victoria so it ended up with mom almost falling into her and I splashed a lot of mud on her pants… Crown Princess Victoria, if you read this, SORRY because I soiled you but THANK YOU for the playtime with Rio"

Expressen writes that Victoria often wears Swedish design and likes to mix up her luxurious wardrobe with budget finds. She is passionate about the environment and sustainability and likes to dress in recycled clothes and clothes made of sustainable materials.
Tina Törnquist has been Victoria's acclaimed stylist for 13 years. Tina says that in recent years, more and more people have started working sustainably. For her and Victoria, it has been a matter of course since the start. Favoring Swedish designers is important for them. Tina says that they want the designers to be able to live after the pandemic year which has been very tough.
Many Swedish brands have come a long way in their sustainability thinking. Tina often does research on how companies work and reports it to Victoria. Swedish clothing brand By Malina seems to have become Victoria's favourite during the summer.
Tina says that reusing clothes is the most visible stance when it comes to sustainability. Victoria reuses a lot and it becomes a 'statement'. According to Tina Swedish Royal House is one of the royal houses that reuses the most. Victoria doesn't just reuse her own garments. From time to time she is also seen in Queen Silvia's clothes, some of which have not been worn since the 80's. Tina says that the queen is also fantastic at reuse.
The clothes that the royal family wears in official contexts are documented and stored carefully, says Margareta Thorgren. They keep a book and document all the clothes, exactly when they have been worn and how many times. The royal clothes are a part of contemporary history that the royal court states handle and preserve.
The large gala dresses require special care and careful handling. They are stored lying in large boxes with acid-free paper.

Expressen:
Victoria is constantly in the spotlight. Everything is visible in the smallest detail, and so are the royal clothes. She is known for her stylish wardrobe which is divided into private and official.
Stylist Tina Törnquist has been behind the official clothing choices for 13 years. She says that the clothes speak and stand for the first impression. There is a lot of work, planning and feeling behind each look. She presents a detailed plan that is made based on the program that applies. Then they go through everything and decide what fits. The collaboration with Victoria is important to get the best possible result. Tina follows Victoria's mission. One day clothes are needed for a day in nature and the next day it is a meeting with a president.
Margareta Thorgren emphasizes that clothes play a major role regardless of the occasion when the royal family is seen in public and says that the choice of clothing is not just something superficial, but there may be underlying symbolic values ​​in them at different times. The message of a state visit can, for example, also be noticed via a dress or tie.
Tina agrees. The choices of color, material and brands should be a tribute to the guests or those you visit. There is a big thought behind because Victoria represents Sweden.
Victoria is passionate about the climate and the sea. In the Junior Water Prize 2019 award ceremony Victoria wore a 'sea dress'. A blue silk creation with a water pattern by Swedish designer Maxjenny Forslund. There is always a dress code to adapt to. The basic principle when it comes to royal dress choices is that they should show respect. Tina says that that it is quite natural to her. Unwritten rules are a feeling and of course you make yourself nice for the person you are going to meet.

We are so happy and proud to tell you that the fifth lock facility between Lake Mälaren and Saltsjön is named Victoriaslussen (Victoria's Lock), after Crown Princess Victoria. Hurray hurray Hurray! ⁠
A little lock history: In 1642, the first lock between Södermalm and the Old Town was opened. Since then, the lock has been rebuilt several times due to changed conditions.

Crown Princess Victoria has answered "yes" to the big question. In six months it will explode!
Victoria has kept it a secret but now it's coming out - a tribute to the Crown Princess is paid in a unique way!
On Wednesday, it was clear and Mayor Anna König Jerlmyr could not be happier:
- It is gratifying for us that the Crown Princess has said yes, she says to Dagens Nyheter.
The municipal board in Stockholm has decided that the new lock facility will be named after Victoria: "Victoria lock".
The motivation takes advantage of the Crown Princess's climate interest, which is Victoria's big heart issue:
"The name of the new lock facility fits well into both its historical and forward-looking context and is well connected to the Crown Princess's documented deep commitment to environmental and climate issues."
The court welcomes that bridges, locks and buildings are named after royalty, Margareta Thorgren tells Dagens Nyheter.

Daniel and Estelle were today at football match AIK-Sirius at Friends Arena in Solna, together with Daniel's friend Patrik Vrbanc and his child. Both Daniel and Estelle had AIK scarves. AIK won 4-2. AIK got silver at Allsvenskan this year.

Svensk Damtidning:
AIK supporter Simon Strand was the one who captured the prince and the little princess in the picture and was very happy about the royals' presence.
- All AIKers may not be as avid monarchists as myself, but everyone probably thought it was just as beautiful to see how the whole family supported the team passionately, and that they waited so patiently for the final signal to have the opportunity to thank the club's team captain Henok Goitom who made his last match of his career, says Simon after the match.
That AIK is so much appreciated within the royal family is something both the club itself and many of the supporters are proud of, Simon included.
- Our royalty means a lot to Swedish sports and it is noticeable how strong their commitment is. It is of course especially fun that the commitment is inherited and that AIK seems to have a special position among the members of the royal family.
