Madeleine's 40th birthday 10th June is only four days after the National Day.

About the king and queen in Olofström on the National Day:

- We look forward to welcoming the Royal Couple to Blekinge and celebrating our national day together. It is a fine tradition to pay tribute to Sweden and our democratic society. It is also a day for us to gather and feel community, warmth and faith in the future, says Ulrica Messing, Governor of Blekinge.
The County Administrative Board has designed a program in close collaboration with Olofström Municipality. The celebration will be a folk festival in Holje Park where Sölvesborg's Music Corps and Olofström's Music School perform. The king gives a speech and hands over standard flags to associations.

Nöjeslivet web magazine speculates if Estelle and Oscar take part in the concert at Skansen on the National Day.
In an email to Nöjeslivet, the court explains that there is no clear message to give about whether Estelle and Oscar will be present.
- If Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar are present during the celebration at Skansen, we communicate about that in connection with the celebration, information officer Ulrika Näsholm write in an email.

Crown Princess Victoria, 44, dazzles in traditional Swedish dress _ Daily Mail Online

Svensk Damtidning writes about Oscar's debut at the concert
Place on stage for Prince Oscar the Cool!
Oscar is not the one who meets everything and everyone with his widest smile. No, he seems to be more of an observer: he scouts the world with his serious but at the same time curious gaze.
Yesterday he was in the middle of the action: First he had to join and open the palace. And then he was on TV from Skansen - for a whole hour. In the past, Oscar has been at the cortege, but then he has had to return home to Haga, while Estelle has come home and told about all the fun that happened at Skansen.
So now Oscar is even a royal experience richer. And the whole family thought this was special.

TM The King and Queen visit Strängnäs
The royal couple begins the national day in Södermanland by visiting Strängnäs. The visit to Strängnäs draws attention to that it is today 500 years since Gustav Vasa was elected king in Strängnäs in 1523. The country then entered a new era that shaped the nation state of Sweden.
The celebration begins with a festive gathering in Strängnäs cathedral. After the festive gathering, the regalia are displayed before the Royal Couple travel in motorcade to Källparken, where the inauguration of the artwork "Sammanflätade" takes place. The National Day celebration takes place in Västerviken, where the King distributes flags and makes a ceremonial speech.
The program in Strängnäs Cathedral begins at 10.00. The program in Västerviken begins at 11.15.

The royal court updated to the calendar that Madeleine and Chris attend the events at Skansen and Nordiska Museet.
 
Svensk Damtidning has contacted the royal court about the attendance of Madeleine's and Carl Philip's children at the concert at Skansen.
When Madeleine and her family land in Sweden is unclear. The court doesn't want to answer the question about it, but announces that the family will be in Sweden in connection with the National day celebration.
Chris thus makes a comeback for the first time in five years. Unfortunately, it will be without Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne, who will not be present at Skansen.
- No, they won't be. It has not previously been with any children. It is an evening event and the children are simply too young, says Margareta Thorgren.

However, Madeleine and Chris O'Neill's children will not be present in connection with the Skansen celebration. According to the court, this is because they are too young to attend the evening event.
This means that Sofia and Carl Philip's children, Alexander, Gabriel and Julian, will not attend the big evening party either.
- That applies to the others as well. Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip's children will not attend either, Margareta Thorgren announces.

Estelle has attended the Skansen concert since 2018, when she was six years old. Oscar debuted last year, when he was six years old. We will see if they attend the concert this year, when the reception right after is at the Nordic Museum, not at the Royal Palace as usual.
 
Svensk Damtidning writes that Estelle has been at the concert many times and Oscar debuted last year.
How it will be this year remains to be seen, but you can expect that both Estelle and Oscar will be at the festivities in the evening as well.
- There is a possibility for that. We never publish which children participate, but it is possible that Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar will participate in the Skansen celebration, says Margareta Thorgren to Svensk Damtidning.

Ahead of this year's national day and the five hundredth anniversary of the election of the king in Strängnäs, the Crown Princess family has visited Gripsholm Castle, the royal castle that is more than anything else associated with Gustav Vasa. During the visit, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar learned more about King Gustav I.

Interesting, as Leonore and Nicolas are older than and Alexander is the same age as Oscar, making Margareta Thorgren's explanation of "the children are simply too young" implausible. I wonder why she felt the need to say so.

Oscar is accustomed to public events, though. His cousins are not, probably making it a combination of "age + experience".

The difference is Victoria's children are the future heir and spare to the throne. They will be introduced to royal events earlier on then their cousins will be.

The children of Madeleine and CP will be private citizens. Their involvement in official events will be minimal. Not shocking they will wait till older to attend.

The King said at his speech among other things:
On Saturday 6 June 1523, Gustav Eriksson Vasa was elected Swedish king in Strängnäs.
At this time, Gustav Vasa was 27 years old. As I was when I succeeded my grandfather in 1973. At that time, Sweden had undergone rapid development in recent decades and was a relatively prosperous country where most curves pointed in a positive direction.
In 1523 it was different. The 16th century was a turbulent time. No one could have known that Swedish independence would last. But over the centuries, statutes were created. A strong state administration was established in the 17th century. The foundation was laid for a constitutional state.

Really beautiful family, and how tall Estelle has become !
 
The cortege from the Royal Palace to Skansen starts at 17.55 and the concert at Sollidenscenen at Skansen starts at 18.30.
The concert will be shown at SVT play at 20.00, link to the broadcast:

After the concert the King hosts a reception at the Nordic Museum/Nordiska Museet for 800 guests. Those invited are representatives of the government, Riksdag, parts of the diplomatic corps and official Sweden. The festive evening ends with tapto in front of the Nordic Museum's entrance.

I wonder if there will be a photoshoot for the Royal family at the Royal Palace before they leave to Skansen.

Photo of Madeleine's family at Svensk Damtidning, it seems that Leonore has the Sweden dress Estelle had in 2020 and 2021.

At the cortege the King and Queen went at the first carriage and the Crown Princess family at the second. Carl Philip, Sofia, Madeleine and Chris came at a car to Skansen. Is this a new tradition, that only the Royal couple and Crown Princess family arrive at the festive cortege?

Screenshots from the Tapto, the absolute highlight for me always on the National Day. The Army Band played also the King's Jubilee March.

The King said at his speech at Skansen among other things:
I have seen that freedom and independence have many faces.
The freedom to express one's opinions - our freedom of the press is the oldest in the world and has recently been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The freedom to move in forest and land - our right of common people is unique. The freedom to cultivate their land - our independent farmers have played an important historical role.
The freedom to be yourself, to love whoever you want, to have your own beliefs. The freedom to realize your own life dreams.
But also everyone's responsibility to dare to extend a hand and help those who need our support. And our joint work to create a sustainable world for those who come after.

At his welcome speech at the Nordic Museum the King said among other things:
I stand here with my family in front of Gustav Vasa, who was elected King in Strängnäs 500 years ago. Today, I feel a sense of inspiration and strength – given to me not only by Gustav Vasa but also by my predecessors.
Most of all, however, I find inspiration and strength in Sweden's nature, people, history and traditions.

I don’t think he has ever been happy with the spotlight. I agree, he does not look healthy at all.

Well he looked much better in the photo Madeline shared so in part I think it is a bad picture. Well if Chris wants a private life I hope he gets it, he seems sincere in trying to stay out the spotlight so I hope the media(and indeed all of us) can give him that.
 
He doesn’t look great at all. And to be honest for such a stunt women neither does she. Moving is stressful, very stressful. Hopefully settle down in a while.
 
Finnish Iltalehti interviewed Swedes about the National Day and Royal Family.

Some of the people say that the National day has started to mean more than before in recent years, for example due to the war in Europe.
Rosenqvist says she is a royalist, Arnwald is somewhere in the middle: the system is not democratic, but she appreciates the work of the royals as representatives of Sweden. Rosenqvist loves royals. It comes from childhood: it was something magical. The court doesn't get the praise it deserves for the work they do. Her favorite royal is Victoria, whom she describes as a down-to-earth person who does a lot of important work. Arnwald chooses Queen Silvia, among other things, because of her background as an interpreter and her extensive language skills. Women are less enthusiastic about the king, he could need some media training, maybe it wouldn't be necessary to always comment on everything.
Kent Andersson is the only one who would give up the monarchy. There are arguments for and against: Solveig says that the royals have been trained for the future task since they were children, so they know what they are doing. Kent is suspicious of exactly this. He brings up Madeleine as an example: is she part of the royal family or a private person, because she seems to want to be both.
Evergren's and Solveig Andersson's favourite is Victoria, who is repeatedly the country's most popular royal when surveys have been conducted. Kent Andersson chooses Daniel, if someone has to be chosen. Solveig Andersson chooses the late king, Gustav VI Adolf, as her favorite.
When the king dies or abdicates - Kent is sure that many are already waiting for it to be Victoria's turn, and Solveig says that with Victoria, there will certainly be more royalists, because Victoria is so popular.

Chris looked very uncomfortable at that podium...

And what happened to Oscar's hair... It's rather long and in his face...

Unfortunately, that's the latest fashion fad for hip kids in Stockholm at the moment, long bangs or pony tails for boys. Everybody's grandchildren look like that. :lol:
