great pics...but so few!..? I really can't understand why there hasn't been taken any more pics than theese..!..the press usually follows the couple whereever they go?!!!

thanks for posting the pics anyway...

great...

I could imagine that there more photos will appear later (e.g. IBL is always a little bit slow)

I´ve to say that Queen Silvia looks highly elegant in these new pictures. That´s it, how a Queen has to look.

yeah you're right...

she looks elegant...

Realy very nice pictures from the Kungaparet in Slovenien. Unfortunately I found not another pictures from 1st or 2nd day. By Polfoto (royalty)I don't found these pictures. In which rubric do you found these?

I think the media has come (before me) to the same conclusion I have
.... CG's showing every indication (as I recall he did last year around this time) that the summer vacation can't come soon enough.

Very nice pictures. Many thanks for the link of the website.
The queen and the king look very happy.

Lena · #12 06-18-2004, 09:09 AM

Hm, happy..I´m not sure if I can agree on that. He isn´t smiling in one single picture of the link above. Yes, he probably can´t wait to be on summer vacation and to do the things he really likes (boating, Oldtimer-Rallyes, home improvement/do it yourself, gardening, running...). It was a tough first half of the year for him...firstly "brunai-gate", then the headlines about his relationship to Daniel Westling, then the story, that he drove far to fast on the motorway, increasing Anti-monarchy-opinions...

Dennism · #13 06-19-2004, 12:45 AM

I agree. Silvia looks great in that blue gown. A true beauty.

Maybe if you went to Sweden to console him, Lena ? :flower:

" Daniel Westling...increasing Anti-monarchy-opinions.."

Makes sense to me. Sorry. I can´t be diplomatic all of the time. Sometimes the green-eyed monster rears its ugly head.

Where is this quote from?

It´s from me (one site before)...or better expressed the words are from me...I´ve written it in a completely different context. And I haven´t meant it a bit the way Dennis interpreted it :P
The only thing which could here (IMO) damage the monarchy is the part of these Expressen-articles, in which is CLAIMED (don´t believe it´s true) that the king doesn´t like Daniel, because he´s uneducated. So it SEEMS to SOME people as if the king would be an arrogant snooty-nosed little upstart!

mixer2002de · #18 06-19-2004, 11:15 AM

Aha Dennism just reads things that please him, or that way that they please him

Dennism · #19 06-19-2004, 11:34 AM

Yeah. A little bit of editing from myself but Lena does make a good point though. All of the stupid news from the press has not made for a terribly first half of the year. This could explain for his less than sunny demeanor sometimes.

From German Yahoo on 21 June:

Königin Silvia besucht Berlin

Berlin (dpa) - Das schwedische Königspaar hat heute Berlin besucht. Die Reise sei aber privat und werde nicht offiziell begleitet, teilte die Polizei mit. Wo Königin Silvia und ihr Mann Carl XVI. Gustaf wohnen, wurde nicht bekannt. Die gebürtige Heidelbergerin ist öfter in Deutschland zu Gast, in Berlin wohnt ihr Bruder. Zur Anreise aus Schweden soll das Königspaar einen blauen Ferrari benutzt haben, wie die Boulevardzeitung «B.Z.» schreibt.
