King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Current Events Part 8: May 2010 - May 2014

Queen Silvia didn´t have her wedding ring at her finger during the visit to Nykvarn. And suddenly during the visit she changed another ring to the wedding ring finger.

hmmm... a mystery unfolds.. Time to investigate methinks...

Sometimes the gold wears away after a period of time and people send their rings in to be re-gilded. Hopefully that's the case here.

During the past years, Queen Silvia has always been wearing three rings on her wedding ring finger on a daily basis: A ring with a ruby flanked by two diamonds, her wedding ring in the center, and her diamond engagement ring.
She was wearing none of them yesterday.
The sapphire ring she then switched to the wedding ring finger is often seen, but always worn on the other hand.

Anything special about the ruby ring? I understand about the wedding and engagement ring though I personally would feel odd wearing 3 rings on one finger.

Or she just forgot to put them on that morning or maybe her finger was sore. I wouldn't read too much into it.

 

[Mermaid1962]

Her jacket is beautiful! Queen Silvia looks lovely, but I think that she's lost some weight. Her face looks smaller.

Here's a nice additional pic of Queen Silvia at the opening on May 26:

The controversy surrounding King Carl Gustaf and the reported photographs discussion has been moved to a new thread:
http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f185/king-carl-gustaf-controversy-2010-2011-a-31250.html

Please continue that discussion there, and leave this for the King and Queen's current events.

How can someone write to Queen Silvia? Swedish justice has committed a very serious miscarriage of justice, the life of a young woman is in grave danger and there could be three orphans in a few weeks. She is a young french and I can't imagine a second Sweden could let an innocent dying in prison in order to protect its judicial system.

On which place spend the royal couple the midsommer-days?

 

[LadyFinn]

On which place spend the royal couple the midsommer-days?

Expressen wrote a few days ago that they would spend their one-week-off at their villa in Saint-Maxime. No one knows for sure.

 

[ursulajohanna]

I think, too. But we don't see pictures on "Polaris" as years ago.

Wow, they really were relaxed and happy in those pictures. Very rare moment for this couple.
