Queen Silvia and Victoria received today a group of war-wounded Ukrainian children in the Hall of Mirrors at the Royal Palace.
When Svensk Damtidning reached Margareta Thorgren, she said that Wednesday's event was a success.
"It was a nice meeting together with war-torn children from Ukraine," Thorgren wrote in a message.

The Royal Court:
A group of war-injured Ukrainian children were welcomed to the Royal Palace by The Queen and The Crown Princess. The children, aged between 9 and 17, have all been injured during the war. Together with their relatives, they are now spending a few weeks in Sweden for recreation. The Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital at Karolinska University Hospital, Min Stora Dag and Beredskapslyftet are behind the initiative.
The Ambassador of Ukraine to Sweden Andrii Plakhotniuk and his wife attended also the event.


Aftonbladet's Jenny Alexandersson's nice article about the Queen and Victoria meeting the Ukrainian children.
The children have experienced the horrific war up close. All of the children have been injured in some way by bombs, gunshots or grenades. “I was in a car with my mother and sister when the bomb exploded. I was in hospital for a long time,” says 15-year-old Kyrylo Nimchenko. His 10-year-old sister was also seriously injured in the explosion.

The King and The Crown Princess participated today in a symposium at Tekniska Museet in Stockholm in connection with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Royal National City Park.

The King gave a speech, where he said among other things:
"The royal responsibility for the park dates back to the Middle Ages and has taken various forms over the years. In 1809, Charles XIII was given responsibility for the “improvement and beautification” of Royal Djurgården. A task that has been passed down to me and my family. Preserving and developing the royal parks for our visitors is today a central part of the Court’s activities.
In recent years, a lot has happened here in the National City Park. Princess Estelle's Sculpture Park now enriches Djurgården with its expressive works of art. And Folke Bernadotte's bridge over Djurgårdsbrunnsviken has become a beloved feature of the cityscape."

The King's speech, where he said among other things
"It is a pleasure to once again welcome you to Stenhammars Gods and Stenhammar Day. A beloved tradition that has now lasted for two decades!
This year is also 60 years since my grandfather's brother, Prince Wilhelm, passed away on his beloved Stenhammar. In connection with his becoming a state tenant here, he said: "I had to take out a loan like everyone else. It was difficult at first, but now Stenhammar is doing well. And that even though I am a bad farmer, at best a wordsmith."
That brings me to today's theme, which is "Business opportunities and challenges based on animal health and welfare.""
