Do you really think its the same dress? the dress she wore yesterday has a a different coulor than the dress from queen Margrethes 60th birthday

I definitely think it's the same dress. Maybe the lighting makes them look like they're different.[/b][/quote]
It must be the same dress!That was the first thing I thought when I saw the picture, before I saw your comments about it. I think that she had to alter it because of her now slimmed down body ( look at her bosom and compare it to the older picture!) and then she/ the dressmaker decided to make the dress a bit more interesting with that back.

I really like the way she wears the Baden Fringe tiara but the necklace is too elaborated for her- it looks better on her mum, V. needs the strict, sober lines ( or is that just my personal taste?)

Sorry Josefine, I don´t think that it is the same dress. The dress you just posted is green, not blue. take a look at the orderband (don´t know the name for it...) it is green and the dress is in the same colour, and I think I have seen this dress in pictures before, but they are very simular. maybe they got the idea to change the back on the blue dress from this one.

what years has there been state visit between sweden and finland

 

[Boris]

Josefine, during the King's reign there has been an amazing number of state visits to and from Finland which should set a record. State visits to Finland:
# 1 in 1974, The King only of course, as he was not yet married;
# 2 in 1996, The King & Queen & CP Victoria
# 3 in 2003, The King & Queen & CP Victoria.
There were also even more return state visits from Finland to Sweden: In 1975, 1982, 1994, and in 2000.
