Svensk Damtidning writes that Victoria and Daniel attended this evening their friend Richard Båge's 50th birthday party, which started at 19.00. Richard Båge and his wife are among the donors donating sculpture "Life Rings" to Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation. Richard Båge is one of the founders of Insplanet and Cayboy, formerly MediaPlanet. He is also a partner in companies Storytel, Doktor.se and Meds.se. In 2015, he was on Expressen's top 100 list of Sweden's richest noble people.
So far no photos of Victoria and Daniel arriving to the party.

Gunilla von Platen, one of the entrepreneurs/inspirers at Prince Daniel's Fellowship and its entrepreneurial programme, told at her interview in Di Dagens Industri, that she is going to a Prince Daniel's Fellowship Entrepreneurial Trip to Silicon Valley. So obviously the Fellowship is planning the trip, it was a paywall article, no more information was told at the part open for everyone.

On Wednesday Victoria and Daniel should have attended the inauguration of the Sami Parliament, but instead Victoria attended alone.
Margareta Thorgren said to Expressen that Daniel has been very much looking forward to participating both during the day in Lycksele and on a county visit on Thursday. But when Daniel felt milder cold symptoms on Tuesday, he refrained from participating these events out of respect for the other participants. As it is a mild cold, any further changes will not be needed in Daniel's program.
Victoria and Daniel are double-vaccinated against covid-19, but tested themselves for the virus when the symptoms appeared. Thorgren tells that Estelle and Oscar have had a cold last weekend and now Daniel got symptoms too.

Margareta Thorgren to Svensk Damtidning:
- The day before yesterday, the prince felt a slight cold. It's common this year when children start preschool and school. Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar had a cold last week. The prince is fine but out of respect for the people that the crown princess couple would meet, the prince chose to stay at home.

Gunnebo House inaugurates next summer the painstakingly reconstructed orangery. It will be celebrated big and the hope is that it will even include a royal visit.
Gunnebo House and the City of Mölndal have invited Victoria and Daniel to the inauguration.
- In part, Crown Princess Victoria is the Duchess of Västra Götaland, which fits here. And the crown princess couple is modern and stands for the future, something that we at Gunnebo also work for, says Anki Sande, CEO of Gunnebo House.

Tomorrow is Daniel's birthday.
Margareta Thorgren said to Nöjeslivet, that Daniel celebrates his birthday privately.
And even though it is a royal birthday, this does not change anything in the royal calendar. Victoria will attend the Global Child Forum Partner Advisory Board. But even if Daniel doesn't attend that, he will not be given time off on his birthday.
"Even a birthday is a working day", said Margareta Thorgren.

I've always heard Victoria's duchy be referred to as 'Västergötland'. Is Västra Götaland' dialect and/or another well-known name for her duchy in Sweden?

Västergötland is the name of the historical province that her duchy is based on. Västra Götaland is the name of the modern-day region that it's part of.

Svensk Damtidning had noticed that the photo is taken on Gotland:
Behind Daniel is a familiar silhouette: Furillen, the old limestone quarry located on an island off the northeast coast of Gotland and which is now a popular hotel.
- Yes, that's right. The picture was taken at Furillen during a private visit, in connection with the Crown Princess couple being on Gotland, Margareta Thorgen said to Damtidning.
Is it even the Crown Princess who is behind the camera?
- No, it's another photographer.
Thorgren said that Daniel celebrated his birthday traditionally with the family this morning, otherwise the celebration during the day is private.
