Three curtsies for the King and the Crown Princess from the soon to be ministers. That was surprising.

There is one of Skistar's ski resorts in Sälen and the King and Victoria go skiing usually every year when they attend the National Conference. The program starts only 12.30, so that the participants can go skiing in the morning if they want.
Victoria and the King were doing some alpine skiing in 2019

Svensk Damtidning asked PR expert Paul Ronge about his thoughts on the images of the King and Victoria at the conference.
It is a highly conscious move by Victoria, he believes:
- It shows that Victoria is the one who is the adult in the room. This is a great PR strategy. It strengthens her. It shows that whatever the king says, she has a good attitude about it.
Ronge says he is impressed by the crown princess. Then he criticizes the king:
- Because it was a very strange statement in relation to her. In principle, it could not be interpreted in any other way than that he would rather have seen history turn out differently than it did.
