Pressrelease Her Majesty Queen Silvia and Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine of Sweden to Visit Washington, D.C. on behalf of World Childhood Foundation - Childhood USA

Madeleine cancels her attending at the Childhood events. Leonore has cold, tells Ulrika Näsholm from the court press department.
The plan was that the princess, who works as a project manager at Childhood's American office, would go to the concert. Now it's the visit, as well as her attendance at the Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, cancelled
The reason is that Leonore has got a heavy summer cold.
- That's it. So it is with babies sometimes, they get sick and need to be taken care of, says Näsholm.
Is Leonore now resting with her ​​mother in New York?
- I have no information on where exactly they are, says Näsholm.
The Queen, however, will be in Washington on Wednesday and Thursday as planned and alone carrying out official missions that she initially was sharing with her daughter.

Margareta Thorgren, the director of the press department, has commented to Aftonbladet:
- Princess Leonore has got a severe cold.
Tomorrow there is a big charity concert for Childhood Foundation in Washington, including house star Tiesto. Princess Madeleine would have participated in the role of project manager - along with princess Leonore and grandmother Queen Silvia.
Now the princess must cancel her trip. The decision was taken just hours before the flight would left from Sweden, according to Thorgren.
- It was determined today. They had packed and were ready to go. But the princess took the decision that it was not appropriate to carry out such a long flight with a sick little baby. The Princess is very sad that she can not attend. Meanwhile, it is something that happens, Princess Leonore is only four months old and has been through a lot lately.
Queen Silvia will however participate as planned. Tomorrow, she holds a speech during a lunch seminar in Washington.
The meeting would have been Princess Madeleine's first official mission since she became a mother. But now there will be no more U.S. trips for awhile.
- The whole family will spend a lot of time in Solliden in Öland in conjunction with the Crown Princess's birthday on July 14, says Thorgren.

Queen Silvia said to Expressen that it is really a pity that Madeleine had to cancel her attendance. Actually, Madeleine should have attended on the important dance party tomorrow (Thursday) for Childhood, explained Silvia.
- But it is when you're young mother with little baby.
The queen will go in her place?
- No no, I have other things to do ...
There will be no "dancing queen" in Washington in the evening?
- No, I have other things to do (laughs).
"Dance Party" is the actual ending of Childhood programs in the U.S. capital. On Thursday evening, playing a series of stellar DJs with Dutch Tiësto at the head in downtown Washington. The queen attends on Thursday at a seminar at the Swedish Embassy.

Queen Silvia on Thursday to Expressen about Leonore:
- That's how it is. It's about a young child, and a worried mother. And grandmother too. Of course, then you have to consider the small child.
She continues to regret that Madeleine had to cancel her trip.
- It is a shame! Princess Madeleine has really been very active in this arrangement. She'd love to come here. But if you have responsibilities you have them.
The queen told already on Wednesday that she wasn't going to attend at the ThankYou Festival.
- I'm going home instead. I'll take a holiday. I very much look forward to seeing the family now.
Will you go straight to Öland?
- Well, we will be traveling a bit more first.
You long o see Madeleine and Leonore?
- Yes, I look very much forward to.
Sweden's ambassador Björn Lyrvall about the Queen in Washington:
- The Queen is very talented and sought-after speaker. It was seen in the Senate yesterday. It was dead silent when the queen spoke. And big applause afterwards.
Silvia seems very pleased with the reception that Childhood got during her days in Washington.
- Yesterday I met with many senators, and listened to what they had to say. There have been many interesting meetings. I myself speak mostly about "child protection". I find that many organizations here do a fantastic job. "But what?", You ask yourself. What happens after you have saved the kids survive? This is where our work with Childhood comes into the picture.
Once signed, put away the tape recorder and Expressen photographer Axel Oberg holds out a microphone makes the Queen a surprised my.
- Is there TV on Expressen also? I'm learning it. Expressen.se, says Silvia interested.

15 Jahre World Childhood Foundation - Childhood

The queen will give a welcome speech at the closing session of the 5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences on Saturday at 11.00 o'clock at the Castle Meadow. After that is the Award Ceremony for World Childhood Foundation's Global Childhood Challenge “Your Big Ideas will Help Small People”

Queen Silvia will participate, among others, an economic debate and celebrate the 15th anniversary of her World Childhood Foundation, which advocates for better living conditions of vulnerable, needy and exploited children. Among the young participants of the economic conference, the Foundation has awarded a competition.
Between the events, guests have the opportunity to catch eyes on Silvia of Sweden: 15 clock in the castle courtyard as well as at 19 clock at a concert on the terrace of the Palmhause, a spokeswoman for the Mainau said.

Countess Sandra Bernadotte (38), takes care of the reception today, which queen Silvia attends.
Countess Sandra is excited and takes lovingly care of the preparations for queen Silvia's visit: "My joy in it is huge," she said to Blick. Today the Queen celebrates on the island of flowers the 15th anniversary of the children's charity "World Childhood Foundation" and spends private time with her relatives.
Sandra's husband Björn (39) is related to Silvia's children, the contact among them all is very tight. Therefore, the Countess takes care of the final preparations herself. "In the seating arrangement, it is important that the Queen has direct eye contact with her lady in waiting. A security officer must be able to sit behind her", she explains.
There will be a lunch in the Palm House with 100 guests and in the evening a three course gala dinner. Sandra has fond memories of the last visit of the Queen on May 8, 2009: "It was the day after our wedding. I made the curtsy in front of her. The queen took me in the arm and said I should call her Silvia, I belong now to the family. That really touched me", says the social worker and says: "Silvia is my role model. She combines warmth with discipline. This combination impresses me very much".

Love this dress! Very unusual waist that could hide a multitude of sins - if Victoria had such, which she does't - so a very intriguing choice. :p This particular photo shows the details of the dress to best advantage. The lace is gorgeous imo. There is an interesting sheen, with a suggestion of other colors woven through. (Lavender/purple - who would have guessed that Victoria is a secret Goth! ;) ) Would love to be able to see this dress in person. :flowers:

Very beautiful. Very elegant. I rarely suggest anything more than the person decided upon but in this instance while I am tempted to suggest a necklace, I suspect Victoria got it right. :flowers:
