GrandDuchess - wonderful pictures!! It looked like there was alot of people there?

Victoria- Shiny, too big rain coat and white shoes, not so wonderful...

Madeleine looks OK, I think the coat and pants is a little to old for her. The King and Carl Philip looks handsom in their uniforms. The Queen and Lilian looks as always elegant.

These are very nice pictures and I'm sure the King had a great birthday with all his family present with him. The people of Sweden seem to really love their royal family and it's nice to see a good turn-out for royal events like this. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures!

 

[Yennie]

nice pics, thanks GrandDuchess!

I think the whole family looked good, Madeleine´s suit is nice

Maybe Victoria has thought to wear certain white shoes is enough

After I read that, I honestly thought she was wearing those shoes again. I was about to scream. I couldn't see the photo very well, but I am calmer now that she isn't wearing them (but it isn't like the ones she is wearing are any better ). I am not very happy about that jacket either. Now, I own a lot of pink clothing, but nothing would possess me to buy that glorified rain-coat. It's just an eyesore ... literally. It hurts my poor eyes to look at it. I feel mean for saying those things. Bad me. Silvia looks wonderful as always. I don't normally like white clothing but Madeleine's coat/jacket is pretty. I agree with Larzen that it looks too 'old' for her. Thank you everyone for the photos, and especially to GrandDuchess.

I agree with GrandDuchess, Victorias coat was to much and not suitable for an official photograph. In Japan it was ok and I like when she´s wearing colours instead of just black all the time. But for yesterdays photo shoot it would have looked much better if there was "colour harmony" in the photo.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures, so far, everyone!

I think Madeleine looks stunning. She is simple and elegant. However, Victoria's outfit leaves a lot to be desired. It did not fit correctly and she looks frumpy.

Why does Madeleine so often wear this thing around her neck?! She had one in Gävle in september 2004, at the hospital i January 2005 and now this saturday... and many other times aswell.
Imo it looks odd, almost like she has on a poloneck, but the rest of it mysterious has disapeared

 

[NJRedDevils]

Madde, looks beautiful, leave her alone..

 

[Lena]

Madde, looks beautiful, leave her alone..

I agree with Yennie (btw. she hasn´t attacked Madeleine´s beauty)
Those scarfs look like something elderly teachers (for art or languages) wore at my old school. And I could swear I´ve seen such things also around the wrinkled neck of ETW.
Madeleine should choose other accessoires to a) express herself or b) to hide the love bites

thank you Lena As you said, I didnt say a thing about Madeleines beauty. She is very beautiful, but those scarfs are not good...
but perhaps it was necessary to hide a love bite

Madeline looks great!! I don´t like Victoria outfit: it was too shine and pink, and her mommy and sis wear white...sadly she doesn´t look very well.
Carl Philip is beutiful (and hot), and looks gourgeos with that uniform
The Queen was smart, as always

 

[lashinka2002]

Did they want Victoria to stand out for some reason?

 

[HMQueenElizabethII]

Me too,I think madeleine and The Queen look so lovely and great!Princess Lilian really elegant.But i don't really like the pink outfit of Victoria.I think it's not suit with the event.

 

[Yennie]

the opera?! I had no idea... was it an official event or a private family celebration?
from the little I can see of Madeleine´s outfit, it looks like the same she wore at the "youth party" at Vega two night before Frederiks and Marys wedding
