It looks like the Turkish President is wearing a Swedish honor.

Its nice to see Princess Christina,is that her husband behind her?
Madeleine and Carl-Philip look so sad in these pictures.
Yes, it is her husband, consul general Tord Magnuson.
Victoria's choice of jewellery for both the welcoming ceremony and the gala is very poignant, not to mention a lovely tribute to both Lilian and Bertil.
I was referring to the brooch Victoria wore both to the welcoming ceremony and the gala.I know that she wore a pin that Lilian and Bertil gave her at the welcoming ceremony. What did she wear at the gala that was poignant?
Does anyone know the Order/Medal the King was wearing? As the President was wearing the Order of the Serephim, I'm guessing there was an exchange of Orders as gifts from one head of state to another, but as I'm also not sure....Anyone know?

As it wasn't planned beforehand that Madeleine would be in Sweden at the moment, she was here due to the death of princess Lilian, and the seating for the dinner was planned in advance, I don't think the court was to make a last-minute reshuffle of the seating just because she happened to be here. I also think that she prefered not to participate so soon after her grand-aunt's death when she didn't had to.I wonder why Madeleine didn't attend the dinner? Or maybe she was late and so no pictures?
The Swedish custom is that when a Head of State (or a member of a royal family) visits Sweden he or she receives the Order of the Seraphim if it's a official State Visit, but it's not given if it's some kind of "working visit" for a head of state or a royal attending a wedding etc.It is custom to exchange the highest honours between Heads of State.
True. The president of Turkey's website is always a good source for the forum.Queen Silvia and the First Lady visited also Silviahemmet yesterday. At the president's website is photos from this visit and from the visit to Rinkeby Academy. And videos of both visits.

The website of the president of Turkey is superb, with fast updates, great photos and videos.
Perhaps she also spent time with her bachelorette party guests that she Victoria left behind so suddenly. The party was to last for three days so they would normally have returned on Sunday or Monday.As it wasn't planned beforehand that Madeleine would be in Sweden at the moment, she was here due to the death of princess Lilian, and the seating for the dinner was planned in advance, I don't think the court was to make a last-minute reshuffle of the seating just because she happened to be here.

I would guess that Madeleine is still in Sweden, but as the guest list and protocol for state visits are set well in advance the royal court doesn't want to make changes in the last minute. I don't see a reason for Madeleine to make two transatlantic flights in less than five days if it's not necessary.Madeleine didn't attend at the concert and reception on Tuesday either, has she returned to New York and comse again to Sweden on Friday for the funeral?
