Lovely visit so far.
Sofia looked good. Victoria as usual looks great
 
I'm guessing there will be Live video coverage?
 
I'm sitting at Strömkajen Harbour outside Grand Hotel in Stockholm and The King, The President and lots of other people disembarked a steam ship some minutes ago so they appear to have been at a Cruise in the archipelago. The president appears to stay at Hotel Lydmar as there is a huge police escort outside waiting for him. The King left in a car for the royal palace a few minutes ago.

The president was dressed to a chilly day in Stockholm when he went to the ship.

I wonder how the Indian guests reacted to the King's reference to his grandfather, King Gustav VI Adolf, marrying Louise Mountbatten, the sister of the last British Viceroy of India. On one hand, as the King said, Lord Mountbatten played an important role in laying out India's path to independence. On the other hand, however, references to the last Viceroy might evoke memories of colonial rule which some Indians may consider offensive. I understand the King wanted to make a link between his family and India, but I'm not quite sure it was appropriate.

There will be seminars and meetings with representatives from Swedish and Indian industry. In the afternoon, the programme will continue in Uppsala where the President will give an address at Uppsala University. The Crown Princess Couple and Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström will attend.

It seems that the engaged couple was seated next to each other again, like at the Nobels. I suppose one can consider it part of 'training' though in general the RF's presence at such official events is as host and thus the point is that they mingle with the guests. Seating them next to each other defies that logic. I suppose it is an old fashioned tradition to seat engaged people next to each other at dinner parties, so that can be considered sweet.

All ladies looked wonderful. I am glad that the queen and the crown princess didn't dress 'down' jewelry wise, but used some of their best pieces. A pity that the CPss didn't use the gorgeous emerald necklace again with this dress though.

From today's program from the court website:
The King, Queen and President Mukherjee started the day with a visit to the Karolinska Institute. They were presented the Nobel Forum, which serves as a workplace for the Nobel committee and they elect Laureates in Physiology or Medicine. The house is also a meeting place for researchers and scientists from all over the world. Anders Hamsten presented the Karolinska Institute and current research projects going on there. They visited the Aula Medica, Karolinska's new assembly hall. It is used for the Nobel lectures, seminars, and lectures related to the Institute's research and training activities.
At the Grand Hôtel were round table discussions between representatives from the Swedish and Indian business community. The King, the President, Prince Daniel and the Minister for Enterprise and Innovation Mikael Damberg participated in the discussions.
In the Winter Garden at Grand Hôtel they attended at two seminars: "Innovate, make and grow with India" and "India-Sweden Partnership- Co-Creating a Brighter Future".

Some cars at the cortege have got to a crash. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel were in the motorcade - but did not sit in one of the four cars collided. However the director of the court press department, Margareta Thorgren sat in one of the cars that were damaged.
- There came metal damage to the cars, but no one was injured. The program continues. I'm feeling well, she says.
