King Carl Gustaf's 30th Jubilee as King: September 2003
I read somewhere the celebrations for Carl Gustaf´s "30-years-king" started today. Is that true? What did they exactly do?

The celebration is today. It was a concert and a lunch. Nothing spectacular, but the King ahd a really big celebration in 1998 when he celebrated his 25 year anniversary as a king.
Here´s some pictures from today:
1 to 3) Victoria...
4) Madeleine...

Thanks for posting those pictures! I like what they wear (even what the king wears, I usually don´t look at that)!
