That’s possible if they do it in largely the same ritual as the Opening of the Parliament, wich i think is likely.
Then we would see a Te Deum service in the Cathedral in the mourning, followed by all the MP’s walking back to Riksdagen and resumes their work... Then the Royal Family would depart the Royal Palace for Riksdagen in carriages in the afternoon, and travel back by cars after the ceremony.
The King would lie in state in the Royal Palace Chapel and the government may meet the new Queen in a Council but apart from that i don’t think there would be any major ceremonies at the Royal Palace until after the funeral has been and the court mourning (usually 3 weeks in Sweden) have ended...
