The Hasselblad Foundation is very pleased and honored to announce that HRH Prince Daniel will become the patron of our foundation! Prince Daniel has a great commitment to entrepreneurship, the future of young people and the importance of art in society. In recent years, the Prince has deepened his interest in art and culture and the importance of these sectors for the development of society.

Daniel and Estelle attended the world premiere of Unga Operan's Julius Caesar at the Royal Swedish Opera today.

Daniel attended today a Board meeting of Prince Daniel's Fellowship at the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.

And I just found from the Flickr of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences photos of Daniel at the meeting with mentees of the Prince Daniel's Fellowship's mentoring programme at the Stockholm School of Economics on April 22. The Royal Court hasn't posted about this event and it isn't at the calender either. It's a pity that the court often "forgets" to tell about Daniel's work.
 
Daniel, the patron of The 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships, attended the opening ceremony of the Championships. And was with Estelle at the match Sweden-Slovakia at the Avicii Arena. Daniel's friends Andreas Nylin and Patrik Vrbanc with his children were with them. Sweden won 5-0.

The court updated these Daniel's events to the calendar only two days ago. We will see, if he attends all Sweden's matches.

After the match, the Swedish goalkeeper Jacob Markström revealed that the team had been visited by Daniel before the match.
- I don't think we had any choice. Prince Daniel was in the locker room and gave a little pep talk so it was easy after that.
The reporter asked: What did he say?
Markström answered that if you had been there you'd know and didn't tell what Daniel said to them.

The Royal Court published photos of Daniel and Estelle visiting the locker room:
"Congratulations on the win yesterday Tre Kronor!
Prince Daniel and Princess Estelle visited the World Ice Hockey Championships and the match between Sweden and Slovakia yesterday.
HRH Prince Daniel is the patron of the “2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship”.
