The swedish royal court gave a press release on 4th February:
A new royal foundation has been formed, Prinsessan Estelles kulturstiftelse (The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation). The purpose of the foundation is to promote cultural activities in Sweden.
With this initiative the crown princess couple wants to emphasize the importance of art and culture to an open and modern society. The Foundation is also based on a strong royal tradition to promote cultural life in Sweden. The crown princess couple wants to actualize this and show long-term ambitions through the founding of Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation.
The executive director is Sara Sandström Nilsson. The foundation's board consists of H.R.H. Prince Daniel, Elin Annwall, Operational Manager of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation, Lena Josefsson, Chairman of the Friends of the Moderna Museet and Staffan Larsson, Governor of the Royal Palaces. The chairman of the board is Johan Ericsson.
The Board is assisted by an artistic council consisting of Richard Julin, Head of Accelerator in Stockholm, Iris Müller-Westerman, director of Moderna Museet in Malmö and Lars Nittve, former director of the Tate Modern in London, Moderna Museet in Stockholm and M + in Hong Kong.
The Foundation's activities are financed through private donations.

This Foundation was founded already in August 2019, when Sara Sandström Nilsson, the executive director of The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation, was hired. She was 21 years the owner and director of Galleri Andersson/Sandström, which organised the three art exhibitions initiated by prince Daniel at Royal Djurgården in 2016-2018. She ended her work at the gallery in August 2019, and has been the executive director of Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation since then.

The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation is founded to promote cultural activities in Sweden. There is a Royal tradition of supporting Swedish cultural life and a conviction that culture is a necessity for an open and modern society. The Crown Princess couple has a strong commitment to environmental and health issues, so including culture is therefore perfectly natural.
Through the sculpture project at Kungliga Djurgården, the Foundation wants to highlight the importance of art since art experiences have witnessed positive effects, both at the individual level and for society at large. The interaction with contemporary art opens our minds, causes us to reflect, shape new thoughts, give us new knowledge and learn to embrace the unforeseen. Thus, contributing to enriching our common environment with contemporary art is not just about creating timeless monuments, but about awakening conversations and offering long-term quality of life for all.
Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation's activities are mainly financed through private donations. Together, a group of private individuals has built up a base capital and the return on this amount is used to pay the Foundation's ongoing operating costs. The founding group's generous efforts have made possible the existence of the Foundation.

- It is a whole new foundation to which the Crown Princess couple has taken the initiative, says Sara Sandström Nilsson, who is the foundation's executive director.
She continues:
- The idea for the sculpture project at the Royal Djurgården was born when the Crown Princess couple was the patron of Umeå, the European Capital of Culture in 2014. They then visited Umedalen's Sculpture Park which aroused an interest in creating something similar in Stockholm.
The years, 2016-18, were followed by sculpture exhibitions at the Royal Djurgården. Exhibitions that Prince Daniel inaugurated and that the Crown Princess couple wanted to continue with, but in a new form. And the new form became a foundation.
If the parents have informed Princess Estelle about the new foundation, which bears her name, Sara Sandström Nilsson doesn't want to go in. She refers instead to the court. However, she explains that there are long-term ambitions behind the initiative. This is one of the reasons why the foundation is named after Princess Estelle.
The board members consist of Staffan Larsson, Elin Anwall, Sara Sandström Nilsson, Lena Josefsson, Johan Ericsson and Prince Daniel. Victoria is an initiator with not being on the board. Perhaps this is because Daniel is the one who has opened the previous exhibitions and also because the couple already has so many engagements that they have to distribute the engagements, says Sara Sandström Nilsson.

The Swedish court has formed a new foundation - The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation. The foundation's first exhibition will be a temporary sculpture park.
In the summer of 2020, a sculpture exhibition is planned to be shown at Djurgården in Stockholm. The organizer is The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation.
Princess Estelle is Crown Princess Victoria's and Prince Daniel's firstborn. Prince Daniel is a board member of the foundation.
- The hope is that the art experiences will lead to many unexpected conversations and generally increased curiosity for culture, says Sara Sandström Nilsson, the foundation's executive director.
According to Sara Sandström Nilsson, Djurgården is an ideal place because it is open and easy to visit. No entrance fees will be charged.
