But luckily the other media quotes the article. From Expressen:

The Crown Princess has a great commitment to the climate with a particular focus on sea and water.
In a major interview with Dagens Nyheter , Victoria tells about her work at the UN and how she has got Oscar and Estelle interested in environmental issues.
- Estelle wondered why we sat on a dump and ate pancakes, and then we talked about it, she told to the newspaper.
Crown Princess Victoria shares several personal experiences concerning her environmental commitment in the interview with Dagens Nyheter.
At the end of the DN interview, Victoria tells that she had an excursion with her children to Haga Hill, which is at Haga Park, and consists of demolition masses from the old Clara Quarter in Stockholm.
The purpose was to teach the prince and the princess of recycling.
- I told the children that we should now climb a mountain, and then I stood all morning and made pancakes. Little brother got his own backpack. And we pretended it was the hike of the world. It takes ages to walk when you go with a two-year-old. Then we got up and it was amazing. There is a stone with the text "in memory of the Clara Quarter" and Estelle wondered why we were sitting on a dump and ate pancakes, and then we talked about it. Then on our way home we picked plastic and everything possible. And then Oscar came and he was so pleased, because he had found something. Then it just became "no, let it go, let it go!
The happy little prince came running with a small plastic bag.
- Then I thought, "Oh, now I've gone too far, now he comes with a dog poop bag, says Victoria to DN.

Unless the fishing industry changes, the world faces "a collapse of ecosystems", said Crown Princess Victoria in a longer interview with DN about her commitment to climate issues in general and the world's seas in particular.
- I feel very worried about these questions. It's also why I'm engaged, she says.

Crown Princess Victoria has long had the climate issue as one of the closest to the heart. In a big interview with Dagens Nyheter, the Crown Princess is talking about her work for the seas, but also how it affected the family.
Estelle was not covered with sand, but microplaster. Victoria had never seen it with her own eyes, on the other hand, she was aware of the phenomenon. To see it for the first time when it also hit her eldest child deeply impressed the crown princess, and she describes how she changed her attitude accordingly.
- First, it was an aha experience. Well, this is what everyone has talked about. But then it became a great worry and a feeling of unease. I didn't want to eat more fish and I didn't want her to bathe there anymore. But what are you doing? she says to DN.
For three years, Crown Princess Victoria is one of 17 ambassadors for the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals. When Victoria first got the question, she described how she hesitated and questioned what she had done, that there might be someone who was better suited. But in the end she decided to face the challenge.

Svensk Damtidning about DN's article
Crown Princess Victoria. Strong. Charming. Well-prepared.
In some way, she has become an expert of making leaders act, and connecting people who can benefit from each other. Just this is evident in a new interview she made with the newspaper DN.
During the various meetings with DN, she talks about her cooking skills, a lovely walk with the children who went a little way far, about their climate anxiety and how the royal life goes hand in hand with an environmental commitment.
- It's not easy. Everybody flies here and there to all these international meetings, is that so good? You can absolutely wonder. I always try to ensure that what I'm doing is sensible and good meetings that will lead to something. It should not only be nice, it should be concrete and relevant. One tries to take the train or meet another place to minimize travel.
And there is also food, about eating more vegetarian, as part of the environmental struggle. She tells her that she has changed her eating habits in recent years, that it is now natural for her to eat vegetarian.
When you, as a journalist, see the Crown Princess at all these meetings, she always seems to be confident and urbane. But during the interview in DN we are told that she is looking for advice from friends as Crown Prince Haakon who has worked more internationally than she has done. And when she was asked to become an ambassador to the UN's global sustainable development goals, her self-confidence wavered.
But Victoria realized that this could give her a new platform to stand in her struggle for a better environment on our planet. And with this platform we have got a Swedish climate fighter that is respected and popular. Knowledgeable and well-prepared. She's up for the climate on the agenda at a time when the climate easily ends up in the shadow of something else and the existence of climate change is even questioned.
- You can see fishing issues as political if you want to. You can see them as sensitive questions. But it's so infinitely much bigger. In my eyes, it is one of the most important questions. Here we face a collapse of ecosystems. Then we must be able to work in one and the same direction. We must ensure that the world's population has food in the future and we will not manage nine or ten billion inhabitants if we don't care for the seas and don't grow fish and shrimp. Agriculture is as wide as possible. Now with increased drought and harder weather it is tougher.

The reportage of Victoria's work for the oceans and her interview was published at DN's website on Friday. It has been published at DN's Saturday Magazine today. The cover at court Facebook:
"When the world comes together, people can change their behavior. [...] I think everyone can do something. We can all inform us and be active."
The Crown Princess has given an interview to the newspaper Dagens Nyheter. In the report, published today, the Crown Princess speaks among other things about her role as ambassador to the UN's global sustainability goals.

Many articles about Victoria's interview written by other journalists at Dagens Nyheter:
Jannike Kihlberg: The Crown Princess's climate engagement an example of the role of non-political leaders can play
COMMENT. A sustainable world and climate change are issues that go beyond all boundaries - which therefore also serve as a leadership that crosses borders. Crown Princess Victoria's engagement is an example of the fact that non-political leaders play a role in forming new forms of cooperation, beyond the world of mandates.
Crown Princess Victoria's commitment to marine issues, as described in Karin Eriksson's report in the Saturday magazine, is completely in line with the new strategies and working methods for global issues that have emerged. Her work in "Seabos" - Seafood business for ocean stewardship - is an example of the fact that non-political leaders play a role in the development of new forms of cooperation across borders, in this case an inventory that started with researchers who will make companies adapt to the scientific results.
And this is often the case with sustainability issues. Researchers know what needs to be done, but the polical measures take a long time and are often insufficient. It is natural, when different parties agree on something, they end up on the least common denominator, not on sharp measures, even if they are needed.
There is the plan for non-political and independent actors, they can be spearheads, drive issues, mediate, create opinion and show the way.

The Crown Princess stands steadily when politics fail
It was the day after a truck had killed people on Drottninggatan and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel stood at the place, black-dressed. Victoria laid red roses on the street. When the journalists asked her to comment, there was a new Victoria I saw. Composed, with deep voice, she spoke briefly about sadness, emptiness, but also community and trust.
How will we move on? wondered a reporter.
- Together, she responded briefly.
At his week's DN Saturday you meet a leader who can have a longer perspective than most. In the midst of a political vacuum, where Sweden is in a transitional government, where agreements entered into are broken and severe climate negotiations are taking place, Sweden's crown princess succeeds.
She has no formal power. But the politicians come and go, the royal house - with all its shortcomings and limitations - seems to remain.
Karin Eriksson and Paul Hansen portray Crown Princess Victoria's work on the climate and the seas. In the UN in New York, on a beach at Nordkoster and at a meeting with grammar school students at Malmö Latin School.
When students tell about their climate anxiety, it's a 41-year-old leader who gives them answers. She answers without circumlocution that she also feels anxious. And it increases, the more she learns about the matter.
But we must solve this crisis, she says. Together.

On Wednesday, November 21, the Crown Princess visited Kungliga Biblioteket (The National Library of Sweden).
At the main entrance of the library, the Crown Princess was welcomed by the national librarian Gunilla Herdenberg.
During the visit, the Crown Princess learned more about how the National Library works with the historical collections and archives.
The National Library has an ongoing government mission to develop a national strategy for all publicly funded libraries. Erik Fichtelius, the national coordinator of the work, gave a presentation of the project.
The Crown Princess also had the opportunity to see a selection of the National Library collections, including the Codex Gigas, Djävulsbibeln, which is probably the world's largest handwriting, and was rescued from the fire at the castle of Tre Kronor in 1697.

Victoria takes over important issue from the king
A princess in a palace, but a single goal in sight. To save the Baltic Sea. Crown Princess Victoria now does everything to get focus on the environmental problem.
In the past, it was always King Carl Gustaf who participated in important meetings of WWF. The king is very interested in environmental and climate issues. But at the same pace as his daughter Crown Princess Victoria inherited his interest in the issue of the environment and how the seas are affected by all contaminants, she has begun to show up at the events organized by WWF. She is also a member of WWF's confederation council.
And on Thursday it was time again. The Crown Princess participated at a lunch meeting on Baltic Sea initiative Baltic now. A commitment to strengthen the Baltic Sea and its well-being. Lunch took place at beautiful Ulriksdal Palace. And what do you eat during a lunch organized by the World Food Fund, you might wonder? Vegetarian of course! The meeting lasted between 11 and 13 and it was offered vegetarian food with connected to the season.
A total of seven people from WWF held various presentations that contributed to discussions on how to make important actions for a living Baltic Sea and Victoria was welcomed by WWF's chairman Axel Wenblad and Åsa Ranung, head of the ocean and water environment at WWF.

Victoria said at her speech among other things:
Right now, scientists from the IAEA are working with isotopic fingerprinting to understand how water moves around the planet. They are using fallout radionuclides to estimate soil erosion. And they are tracking neutrons from cosmic rays to help farmers adapt to climate change.
Therefore, as Advocate of the Global Goals, I am delighted to be here today. I look forward to learning more about how nuclear science and technology can be used to address current and emerging development challenges.
Twelve days from today, on the 10th of December, the Nobel Prize Award ceremony will be held at the Stockholm Concert Hall.
This is always a high point of the year – celebrating those brilliant men and women who have, as Alfred Nobel wrote in his will, “conferred the greatest benefit to humankind”.
To me, this is the true beauty of science and technology, as is the topic of this conference: their marvellous potential to address the great challenges of our time.
The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating our climate, absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide. But it does so at a great cost: Ocean warming leads to dramatic changes in natural habitats and food supply. It also makes the waters more acidic; bleaching and killing the coral reefs – the nurseries for about a quarter of the ocean's fish.
Today, seafood is the largest source of animal protein in the world. Half of it comes from aquaculture, the other half is ocean harvested. We consume about 20 kilos of fish and fishery products per person a year – more than ever before. Keeping our ocean healthy is, and will be, key in ensuring food security.
As populations grow, economies expand and countries develop, access to clean and safe water is imperative. As with our ocean, fresh water is essential to life.

Video of the visit to the Riding School
High-ranking visit on Wednesday in the Viennese Riding School: Crown Princess Victoria made after her speech at the IAEA a trip to the world famous Lipizzaner Horses - on her special request they had organized on a relatively short notice and with the utmost discretion a private screening for the princess.
The future Queen of Sweden enjoyed the trip visibly, at the subsequent photo session, she chatted excitedly with Marcus Nowotny, who had ridden with Conversano Lipizzaner Kitty for the princess. "She was enthusiastic about the perfection of the performance and thanked us", said Nowotny. "She also asked if the horse is older because it's so white". Victoria was right, because "Kitty" is 13 years old.

From Crown Princess to Career Woman - Victoria impresses rulers
She is eloquent. Smart. Quick-witted. And she opens doors to make others succeed. Crown Princess Victoria is now taking more and more space in the corridors of power.
Environmental issues. The fight for the children's equal value. And now nuclear energy.
Since Crown Princess Victoria was asked to become an Ambassador to the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030, she has taken herself further into the corridors of power.
She is now invited as a speaker at major conferences where powerful decision-makers listen with full concentration. She has gained access to a new international playing field where she can influence in a completely different way than a few years ago.
Victoria was in Vienna at the conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA Ministerial Conference. The Swedish delegation landed in Austria at nine o'clock and Victoria was joined by Margot Wallström and Sweden's ambassador Mikaela Kumlin Granit. In the background there was also Marshal of the Court Karolin A. Johansson. A female power team, simply! And of course, Victoria's outfit was chosen to inspire respect in this man-dominated top layer of power-makers.
Crown Princess Victoria was in place to give one of the introductory speeches. And she made a success! It was whispered afterwards that many were impressed by her words, but she also attracted attention in other ways. Several of the politicians wanted to take selfies with this Swedish royal career woman! And she posed at photos.
The speech during the conference wasn't the only thing that Victoria did. She also visited the Swedish Embassy where she gave a speech on the theme of Agenda 2030.

Expressen writes at their article about Victoria's fine gesture to her children - her mobile phone shell case, which was again well seen on her visit to Vienna.
Margareta Thorgren said to Expressen about the visit:
- The Crown Princess has previously been involved in the subject and been at similar conferences. The purpose is to deepen the knowledge and strengthen the presence of non-proliferation of nuclear safety issues.
After the intense day in Vienna, Crown Princess Victoria returned home to Haga Palace. And the autumn's full schedule for the royal family does not seem to ease in the near future. Next time, the Nobel Week is expected in early December.
- It has been an intense autumn with many different focus issues, sustainability, and at the same time there has always been a secondary planning on the government formation process, where both the king and the crown princess will attend a council of state when we get a government. In December it is always intensive, and at the beginning of the month it is the Nobel Week. It's about getting to know the Nobel Prizes Laureates and their research work, said Margareta Thorgren.

Through the visits and speeches of the Crown Princess and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sweden's commitment to the 2030 Agenda was highlighted. Above all, there was a great deal of interest in Sweden's efforts in the areas of competence transfer and integration of gender aspects in multilateral work.
IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano greatly appreciated the Swedish high-profile visit. The Crown Princess also got a tour of the laboratories of the IAEA. She was demonstrated, among other things, how the IAEA uses nuclear technology to combat harmful insects and how to help developing countries calibrate radioactive radiation for cancer treatment.
Big Agenda 2030 event in the Swedish Embassy
In the afternoon, the crown princess gave the opening speech at an event in the #Sweden House Vienna, where the Agenda 2030 and the practical implementation of the sustainable development goals were discussed. The audience consisted of about 70 guests, who are involved with the implementation of the Agenda 2030 in Austria and worldwide. The Crown Princess emphasized the importance of the work to continue the implementation of the Global Sustainability Goals.

"One day, my girl, these will be yours..."

A fascinating thought.
In one of photos EStelle has a "stern" look.... Was she thinking that the crown is too small??
 
On Wednesday, January 9, the Crown Princess visited Livgardet (The Life Guards) in Kungsängen.
During the visit, the Crown Princess received information about The Life Guards' activities. The visit is one of the Crown Princess's regular visits to the Armed Forces.

Usually the court doesn't put these kind of events, where the media is not allowed to attend, at their calendar before the event.

The animal-loving crown princess also met one of the dogs who work in the Armed Forces to seek people and ammunition. But there wasn't any cozy time with the dog.
- The Crown Princess wanted to greet the dog, but the dog was more interested in working, says Paula Levänen, Head of Communications at Livgardet.
- We really appreciated having her here, as we are proud to showcase our business and it is always fun to have so interested and committed visitors with us, says Paula Levänen.

Is the treasury room open to the public? I don't remember it when I visited the palace a few years ago.

Yes, it is open to the public.

Victoria visits Helsingborg tomorrow

During the visit, the Crown Princess gets information about how Helsingborg works long-term with sustainability, environment and climate change.
The Crown Princess makes three visits that illustrate Helsingborg's work for the environment and sustainability.
- It is gratifying that the Crown Princess wants to take part of the work that Helsingborg's city does for sustainability, the environment and climate change. We hope to be able to invite the Crown Princess on an interesting day and that we can exchange thoughts about one of the most important future issues of our time, says Peter Danielsson, host of the visit and Chair of the Executive Committee of Helsingborg.

Facts about the visit
The City Development project DrottningH is Helsingborg's joint project with the aim of together developing a million-program district into an integrated and sustainable part of the city. By including not only the city's administrations and companies but also local business and, not least, the residents of the district, we gather power and together take a holistic approach to both social and structural issues.
During lunch at Sofiero, the city has invited entrepreneurs operating in Helsingborg in the environmental and sustainability field. During the tour of the castle area, the Crown Princess goes on "Sofia's bridge", which was inaugurated in the spring of 2018, and is placed over Gustaf VI Adolf and Princess Margareta's famous rhododendronravine. To the Crown Princess will be also shown wendy houses and Prince Oscar's Fairytale forest.
During the visit to NSRs and Vera Park, the Crown Princess gets to know the work and information about how NSR has evolved from a landfill to an industrial park. The Crown Princess also receives information on how NSR works to reduce the amount of garbage by converting them into resources instead.

Short video at this article
Leo, 7, took a selfie with the Crown Princess
Environmental issues and sustainability were in focus when the Crown Princess visited Helsingborg during the day. Among other things, she visited NSR, the Northwestern cleaning company.
But first out was Drottninghög. In the morning she was met by a press summit.
Peter Danielsson, Chair of the Executive Committee, and representatives of the municipal housing company were also present. The group disappeared into one of the newly renovated apartments to talk about the district's transformation.
Media was not allowed to participate and did not ask questions during the visit - but several children had the opportunity to take pictures and talk to the Crown Princess. One of them was Leo Weikel, 7 years old.
- We took the opportunity to go here when we heard she was coming, says his mother.
She tells us that her son suffered concussion a few days ago. Since then, he has been allowed to stay home from school. Then it was good to go down to the playground at Drottninghög to get a glimpse of the heir to the throne, Leo thought.
Leo got both a photo with the Crown Princess and a short chat.
- It felt jittery. I got butterflies in my stomach, says Leo and proudly shows his picture where he is standing with Victoria.
Several others were along the promenade on Drottninghög. A couple of hundred preschool children in reflex vests were ready at the princess playground when the entourage stopped there a few minutes.
But even a lot of residents took the opportunity to follow the visit. Eva Pettersson was one of them.
- It's great that she comes here to us. It has been so much negative about Drottninghög, so this is really a highlight. I have taken some pictures that I will show the elderly in the accommodation where I work.

Sustainability for people and the environment is the theme when we have lunch at Sofiero together with an interested Crown Princess Victoria who visits Helsingborg today. She meets environmental entrepreneurs who tell about their work in the city for a sustainable future. The Crown Princess also learns about H22 and our quality of life program. It aims to give people tools to live a good life, but also to change behaviors to the long-term best for our common sustainable development. Human sustainability in several dimensions.

During the visit to Sofiero, the city and Sofiero invited a tour of the Palace area where the Crown Princess went on Sofia's bridge which was opened in 2018 and which is placed over King Gustaf VI Adolf's and the Crown Princess Margareta's famous rhododendronravine. The Crown Princess also visited the Children's Sofiero with the royal playhouses, and Prince Oscar's Fairytale Forest with the talking trees - The City of Helsingborg's christening gift to prince Oscar.
The Crown Princess talked to the visitors in the park and received flowers from visiting children. A little boy got to take a photo of the Crown Princess with his "very own camera" which he proudly showed up for the Crown Princess.
Sofiero's managing director Annika Malmgren and Program and Development Manager Anna Schibli told about Sofiero's focus "To Bee" and about the importance of parks and gardens for bees and pollinating insects and their importance to us humans. The Crown Princess was also shown examples of how Sofiero uses biological control in the form of utility animals.

Victoria in a good mood among fairy tales and garbage
It is well known that Victoria has a great environmental interest.
On Wednesday it made her spend a whole day among garbage and urban development projects in Helsingborg.
It started with a visit to the housing area Drottninghög, in the eastern parts of the city.
Now large part of the area get a total makeover. The district should be made into an integrated and sustainable part of the city.
Victoria listened with interest and asked curious questions. Then a walk outdoors waited past a playground where hundreds of children waited.
Several took the opportunity to take their own selfies with Victoria.
To the lunch at Sofiero Palace the city had invited entrepreneurs working in the environmental and sustainability field.
After that, a tour of the Palace area followed, where the Crown Princess among other things walked on "Sofia's bridge", which was inaugurated in the spring of 2018 and which is placed over Gustaf VI Adolf's and Princess Margareta's famous rhododendronravine.
The city also showed Victoria the old playhouses and Prince Oscar's Fairytale forest. The playhouses once housed both the king and his sisters.
And the fairytale forest has very special trees - which tell a fairy tale as soon as you put your ear to the trunk.
Victoria really seemed to be happy and showed the great childhood mind to the photographers who were hanging out on the tour.
The visit to Helsingborg was concluded on the regional landfill site, which over the years has evolved from a common landfill site to a modern industrial park.
Much of the waste is now taken care of for recycling and manufacturing of completely new products in the field.
Here, the Crown Princess strolled out among the landfill areas and odors that may not belong in her everyday life - but which nevertheless exist in the cycle that we all, including princesses, are a natural part of.

Margareta Thorgren to Expressen about Victoria's visit to the Norrbotten's Regiment
- The Crown Princess thought it was an interesting visit. The purpose of the program is to pay attention to Swedish preparedness and defense. The Crown Princess thinks that it is important work to show Sweden and the preparedness that exists. Above all, meeting people who are undergoing training and highlighting these issues.

A tough jaeger soldier in winter environment?
No, a crown princess of Sweden.
Victoria make a success wherever she goes - even in field.
It was 26 degrees cold when Victoria was visiting, but luckily she was well dressed with the Armed Forces' functional and capable clothes.
The Crown Princess is a real outdoor person so she had no problems with the tough winter conditions and she tried to drive both snowmobiles and walking with snowshoes.
