Queen Silvia delivered yesterday King Gustav V and Queen Victoria's Freemason's Foundation's Scholarships for research for the elderly at Bååtska Palace. She is the patron of the Foundation.

Queen Silvia attended today the last board meeting in H.M. Queen Silvia's Foundation Care About the Children. The Foundation was officially ended on 31 December 2023. This meeting was a kind of farewell to the Foundation.

At a book there is summary of the Foundation's 10 year operation. This writing was compiled in the fall of 2023, and was presented to all major donors at a closing event at the Palace on November 16, 2023. Now it is for everyone else to see and have a look at the foundation’s fantastic journey.
