UPDATED: Prince Couple at the Royal Palace

Today the Prince Couple greeted Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Jeffrey is an American Film Producer who has produced fims such as Shrek, Shrek 4-D, and the Road to el Dorado. He is currently visiting Sweden ahead of the release of the film, Trolls, and is going to attend the Eurovision Song Contest Final.

The Prince Couple also met with reporter Roger Lundgren. He writes that he was also introduced to Prince Alexander who slept peacefully through their meeting. I imagine there has been a little nursery made at the Palace for all these babies who are being born. I would think that both Sofia/Carl Philip and Victoria/Daniel are bringing their little ones to work with them.
Princess Sofia is wearing a dress from Prada which she first wore to the opening of the Princess Lilian Exhibition back in August. She wore an *interesting* navy coat from Gant over the dress. Her necklace is from Emma Israelsson.

Global Child Forum 2015 in Stockholm

Today, the King and Queen are hosting the 5th Global Child Forum at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The Royal Couple started the the Global Child Forum in 2009 with the desire to bring together leaders in the fields of children's rights to have a discussion. Their website states, 
"Global Child Forum is an independent, multi-stakeholder initiative for informed dialogue and thought leadership on how to advance children’s rights in support of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Forum gathers leaders and decision-makers from business, government, academia and civil society. By information sharing, exposing leading case studies and learning from best practice from all parts of the world, the initiative work towards a future where children’s rights are respected and supported by all stakeholders in society. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden initiated Global Child Forum in 2009"
Today, the King, Queen, Crown Princess, Princess Madeleine, and Princess Sofia were scheduled to attend but due to a mix up in the PR department/security threats, Victoria did not attend.


Madeleine and Sofia did attend however with the King and Queen. Princess Madeleine came back from London to attend a dinner last night and today's main forum. It is expected that she will fly back to London immediately afterwards. For today, Princess Madeleine wore a cape and top from Zara (huge shoutout to our Facebook Followers for informing us). She also wore her Celine handbag.




Sofia wore a draped top from COS which covered her bump nicely. Her shoes I believe to be the same ones she wore last month from Gant.



Happy Thanksgiving to my American Followers! I am so thankful for all of you (no matter if you are celebrating Thanksgiving or not!!) I will be off celebrating with my family so any updates to this post you can thank Heaven for.

Sports without Borders



Today on October 12th, Sofia and Carl Philip inaugurated the start of Sports Without Borders at two schools, Lommarskolan and Grindskolan. Sports without Borders was started in 2004 by Admir Lukacevic with the goal to use sports to teach children how to be comfortable to take necessary risks and responsibilities in order to shape their lives.


 I was honestly surprised that Carl Philip and Sofia undertook this engagement as this is the kind of event I would expect Daniel to attend. However it does fit into Carl Philip's commitment categories as he has always been involved in sports. Either way, I am glad someone from the family was there!

Anyway- Back to the fashion. Sofia wore a new trench coat from Tiger of Sweden. Her shoes appear to be her Gant Boots which she is loving lately.

Sofia returns to Dalarna


Sofia and Carl Philip undertook a 2 day visit to Dalarna on October 5-6. I am going to break it down by days.

First Day:


Sofia and Carl Philip started off their visit by visiting a school in Borlänge for refugees. They seemed quite at home with the children and Sofia ended up carrying one around for a bit. Next they visited Dalform, a factory that manufactures lockers and storage spaces for schools. Next they visited Skedvibröd where Sofia tried her hand a making flat bread.

After they had lunch they continued on Falun's World Heritage house as well as Falun's Copper Mines. While in the mines, they were given the opportunity to sign their names on the wall- just as the King, Queen, and Crown Princess have done.

For the first day, Sofia wore a top from Zara and a red coat she *may have* borrowed from Victoria. The coat has long been speculated on its designer since Victoria wore it back in 2011, but nothing concrete has ever been decided. Ideas include Armani and Gant. The coat is from an old Gant Collection, a brand that Sofia has worn since before her marriage. This is why I am skeptical to say for certain she borrowed it from Victoria. Perhaps they both have it, perhaps Victoria borrowed it from Sofia- never the less they have both worn it and that is all we can be certain of. She once again wore boots from Gant and her Engelbert Diamond Hoop Earrings. In the arrival photos, you can see her carrying her black Longchamp bag.


Day 2:

Sofia and Carl Philip started their second day of their visit to Dalarna by touring I-Cell, a factory that makes environmentally friendly insulation. You can see a large photo gallery with descriptions here, and a bonus- it is in English!


For this half of the day, Sofia wore a dress from Indiska and coat from Zara. Her boots come from Gant.


Sofia and Carl Philip changed, and hopped in a helicopter to fly to the top of a local mountain which has a small community of Sami people.


For this part of the visit, Sofia (and Carl Philip) wore a hat from Woolisar, boots from Tretorn, and a jacket from Woolrich.


This photo was posted a few days later and I am unsure what day the dinner took place.

Refugee Concert in Stockholm

On the 29th of September, Sofia and Carl Philip attended Hela Sverige Skramlar, a concert held to raise funds to help the refugees. About 40 artists from Sweden showed up as well as hundreds of volunteers. Over 41,921,794 SEK have been raised so far. That is over 5 million USD!

Sofia wore a new grey coat which comes from Gant and a black dress underneath. The photos are dark so no leads on the dress currently. We will have to hope she wears it again.

Global Child Forum in Pretoria

Princess Sofia is jumping in headfirst to taking on engagements by being the Royal Family's representation to the 2015 Global Child Forum in Pretoria, South Africa. If you don't already know, Global Child Forum is an initiative started by the King and Queen in 2009 with the intention of bringing leaders from all over the world and from a variety of industries and background together to make connections, create partnerships, and discuss topics surrounding Children's Rights. The first forum was held at Stockholm Palace in 2010 and since then they have held a variety of forums in satellite locations all over the world. In addition to holding these forums, Global Child Forum seeks to produce and coordinates studies to provide information on the topics of Children's Rights.


Princess Sofia arrived yesterday in Pretoria. She is wearing a top from Gant and her Peace Sign necklace from Sophie by Sophie. 


Last night she also attended a dinner hosted by the Swedish Embassy in South Africa in connection with the forum. (A video and more photos can be seen here and here)

For this dinner she wore a dress from Armani (most notably seen in her first official photos, although she wore it to a Project Playground Fundraiser in 2013) with a pair of black heels (perhaps her Gant ones but I cannot tell). She wore her hair back in a ponytail and wore her Engelbert Diamond Hoop Earrings. She carried a small black quilted clutch which I do not recognize.


Today was the day of the actual forum in Pretoria. Sofia gave her first recorded speech as a Princess of Sweden and first in English. She did an amazing job. My personal favorite part of the speech was towards the end.
As long as children suffer we have work to do – as individuals and common commitment.
This is such an important point and she emphasized it wonderfully. If you would like to read the rest of her speech, which I highly recommend, you may do so here.
For the forum, Sofia wore a black pinstriped pantsuit with a plain white top. She again wore her Peace Sign Necklace from Sophie by Sophie and pumps from Gant.

Sofia commented saying that she will be staying in South Africa for a bit to visit Project Playground, the Charity she co-founded 5 years ago in Langa, South Africa.

Sofia's Outfits in Värmland

Sofia and Carl Philip just finished their visit to Värmland, their Duchy, where we saw 5 different outfits of Sofia's. Check out what she wore!

Day 1:

 
 When arriving at the train station in Karlstad ahead of their 2 day visit they were greeted by the Governor of Värmland, Kenneth Johansson, and his wife Viola. Sofia wore a brown coat and top from Gant, earrings from Englebert Stockholm, and carried her Longchamp bag. Her black suede heels feature a kitten heel and bow on the toe. The shoes have not been identified. A very comfortable looking outfit for traveling.





After being greeted at the Governor's Residence, Sofia and Carl Philip changed their outfits and went off to Byamossarna Nature Reserve. There they were able to see one of their wedding gifts, a 3.5km long foot trail with a rest shelter. This pathway is named Heritigparets Vandringsled, which loosely translates to Duke Couple's Walking Trail.

For this portion visit, Sofia and Carl Philip wore coats from Stutterheim Raincoats, as it was a bit wet. Her top comes from Sandro and her boots from Tretorn. For earrings and a necklace she chose to wear one of her favorite brands, Drakenberg Sjölin.


After this they visited Marbacka where they visted Selma Lagerlof's house to learn about the first women to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. They were able to meet some of the people as they walked along the streets. 


For this part of the day, Sofia had another outfit change. She changed into a black and white dress from Sandro and a pair of black sandals from Maje. Her necklace comes from Drakenberg Sjölin



For the final part of the day, the Prince Couple attended a dinner held by the Governor at the Governor's Residence. There they met various people from all around Värmland. 



For this reception, Sofia chose a black dress from Zara which she paired with her Kurt Geiger nude Pumps. Her earrings were the big statement piece of the outfit and they come from Pipols Bazaar


Day 2:

On the second day of their visit, Sofia and Carl Philip started the day in Almentorget (Almen Square) in Karlstad where they took a boat to Mariebergsskogen. There they saw a display at Natrurum going by train to a Children's Vegetable Garden. There the head gardner was able to tell them about how they work with various groups of children to learn about gardening. Sofia and Carl Philip were also able to talk with some of the children who have been involved, which resulted in some adorable photos.

After lunch at the beach, they visited Ztorylabs. Ztory offers an "all you can read" service for digital magazines and children's books. After attending celebrations in Karlstad Square, they visited the Consumer Agency to get information about their activities. Following this, they went via guided boat tour to Kristinehamn. They heard the history of Kristinehamn during their trip and at the end were able to meet with children Kristinehamn's Canoe Sailors who told about their activities.
Day 2 only saw one outfit for Sofia, although she did change shoes halfway through the day. She wore a dress from Gant, in the same print as the shirt she wore when arriving the previous day. Her shoes also come from Gant, until she changed into her black bow shoes we saw when she arrived via train the previous day. Her earrings come from Pilgrim (thanks Anna!) and a UFO bracelet featuring a star. She also wore her Stutterheim Raincoat at various parts throughout the day.


With all the outfits, she wore her Project Playground Bracelet.
Which outfit was your favorite?

Day 3 in South Korea

Day 3 also brought 2 outfits for Victoria as they ended their trip to South Korea.


 Her first outfit consisted of her stripped coat from GANT, her Ralph Lauren bag, a new dress from Ralph Lauren, earrings from Ebba Brahe, and shoes from Yves Saint Laurent.


 


Victoria's 2nd and final outfit consisted of a new top from By Malene Birger as well as her shoes from Tabitha Simmons. (Note: Kungliga Mode Bloggen reported that Victoria's top was from Hunkydory but that is incorrect. I have been in contact and they informed me it was from By Malene Birger and sent me this press photo to prove it.)
