Who watched the actual banquet? Anyone know what the announcers where saying about Estelle around the 1 hour mark?
Over 30 hours in an airplane to get home to Daddy King's traditional Nobel banquet at the castle. - Yes, all time schedules worked a everything could be solved for the Crown Princess.
I looked at duration of flights between Stockholm & Johannesburg and found that they range between 17 and 22 hours, I did not see any which takes 30 hours. I know that they were travelling on a private Falcon flight, should make it better, no?
Yes- Karini Gustafson-Teixeira, she happened to be pregnant with twins when she wore it... I think she may have been 5 months or so...
This year with two Norwegian prize winners it would be a nice gesture to see someone from the Norwegian Royal Family in Stockholm. But of course that is highly unlikely, the Royal family attend the events in Oslo for the Peace prize winners. Though my thought is that King Harald and Queen Sonja could head to Stockholm on December 11th to attend the Kings Dinner at the Royal Palace. Neither the King or Queen usually attend the Peace Prize Convert on that day anyway.
Or perhaps Princess Martha Louise could attend now that she's moved back to Norway, plus I don't think she's attended the Nobel festivities in Oslo in the past few years
Margareta Thorgren, the director of the information and press department, has confirmed to Expressen, that the whole royal family is planning to attend at the Nobel Prize ceremony. She said also that whole Madeleine's family will come to Sweden, so that means that Chris attends at the festivities too. Even Sofia Hellqvist is expected for the first time to be invited because she and Carl Philip are now engaged.

It is very good news. Both that there will be more glitter for us, but also an opportunity for us to see the whole family gathered. Personally, I don't see it as a surprise that Sofia will attend, it's much harder to know what Princess Madeleine and Chris decides to do.
"expected for the first time to be invited", as LadyFinn's Google Translation (perhaps too literally) says. I'm not sure how to interpret that. Are we sure that Sofia is set to attend or do we have to wait and see if she does?

It is the Nobel Foundation which invites the people, but of course they discuss with the court about if Sofia should be invited. Like we know, Daniel and Jonas were invited in 2009, but Daniel couldn't attend because his doctors adviced him not to attend.
Jonas attended but if I recall correctly, he did not sit with the family. So we'll see if Sofia is invited and if so, where she is seated.
Considering the double standards that Jonas and especially Daniel had to endure, I wouldnt be surprised if Sofia is invited AND is seated with both Daniel & Chris![]()
Chris didn't attend the Nobel Awards when he was engaged. Iirc, he was in NY because of his work.As Jonas and I think Daniel attended the Nobel Prize when they were engaged to Madeleine and Victoria respectively, did Chris attend the Nobel Prize whilst he was engaged to Madeleine? Even though it wasn't that long ago, I seem to have forgotten most of the appearances from Madeleine and Chris during their engagement and before their wedding.

They could break with protocol and let Chris sit on stage as he is married to Madeleine. However, I think that Chris, gentleman as he is, will sit with Sofia in the audience. This would give a better impression. If Jonas sat in the audience Sofia will as well.

Did Chris attend the Nobel in 2012? Last year Madeleine was pregnant and they decided to stay in the USA but I don't remember if he attended when they were engaged...
