Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark attends the State Council meetings along with the Queen. However, they never include it on HIS calendar to show he also participated.

The Crown Prince of Norway also attends State Councils with the King, including changes of government.
Thanks! So, it seems a Scandinavian thing (both to have Council meetings and to have both the Sovereign and the Heir attend).

Yes, after Miljöpartiet left the Government, the Speaker of Parliament decided to suggest Magdalena Andersson for Prime minister again since all parties told him that they'd vote the same as last week. Magdalena was approved by Parliament yesterday and today she presented her minority government, made her Government Policy Statement and became Sweden's first female Prime minister during the Council of State at the Royal palace.

The Royal Court Parish at its Instagram about the Peace for Prayer yesterday
The Royal Couple and the Crown Princess Couple participated in a Prayer for Peace at the Royal Chapel. The Prayer for Peace was led Michael Bjerkhagen, pastor of the Court Parish, and began with lighting candles. Music was played by court organist Mary Ljungquist Hén.
The pastor said that prayer is an important resistance movement through difficulties, and that the lent period that we are now in during the church year, reminds us that the me myself must resign in favor of fellow human beings. And now especially our suffering sisters and brothers in Ukraine.
He also reminded that central to lent is the struggle between good and evil. We must not shy away from evil, but dare to recognize it and fight against it. Jesus Christ has given us the image that light is always stronger than darkness, life stronger than death, and that God's good fight will triumph over evil and destruction. The Royal Couple and the Crown Princess couple lit candles for peace.

Crown Princess Victoria recreated the iconic film look at the royal dinner
Victoria had chosen her red dress from Pär Engsheden, who also created her wedding dress - the dress reminiscent of Julia Robert's iconic long dress from the now 22-year-old hit film Pretty Woman. With bare shoulders, slits and a trendy train, this is one of her real smash hits in the closet.

H.R.H. The Crown Princess inaugurates H22 City Expo in the presence of H.M. The Queen
On May 31, H.R.H. The Crown Princess inaugurates H22 City Expo in the presence of H.M. The Queen. In connection with the inauguration, the Crown Princess will visit several program points with a focus on sustainability and innovation. The Queen visits Helsingborg with a focus on dementia and elderly care issues and inaugurates SilviaBo and the Garden of Memories and Knowledge (Minnenas och kunskapens trädgård).
Three years ago the Crown Princess visited Helsingborg to take part in how the city works with sustainability and smart urban development. In connection with this, the Crown Princess undertook to become the patron of the H22 City Expo, Europe's largest arena for sustainable urban development, which will take place in Helsingborg this summer.
The Crown Princess will visit several other program items during her two-day visit to the H22 City Expo. Including the UN conference H22 +50 Sessions, the circular development facility Recolab and Havoteket, which is the city's interactive exhibition focusing on marine sustainability.
- It is very gratifying to welcome the Crown Princess and Queen to Helsingborg and H22 City Expo, says Peter Danielsson, Chair of the Executive Committee in Helsingborg.
H.K.H. Kronprinsessan inviger H22 City Expo i närvaro av H.M. Drottningen _ Helsingborgs stad

- The Crown Princess is a very committed and well-liked person who is passionate about sustainability and innovation, says Peter Danielsson.
What does it mean for Helsingborg that the Queen and the Crown Princess visit the city fair?
- It obviously means a lot. Partly because they have such strong brands but also because it is not common for the queen and the crown princess to go together. Often the queen goes with the king and the crown princess with Prince Daniel or herself. So it's fun for that reason, says Peter Danielsson.
