Opening Childhood Sweden!

Today, Princess Madeleine officially opened World Childhood Foundation- Sweden's new office. They moved into the new office in Stockholm earlier this year but today was the official day! (Similar to how Queen Elizabeth II's father died a year before her coronation) Madeleine has been involved with World Childhood Foundation for many years, although she is most associated with working there since 2011 when she moved to New York City to be a Project Manager. In February of this year, she was appointed an Board Member of Childhood and was in the US when Prince Alexander was born working on their newest initiative, Eyes Wide Open.

For today's events, she wore a blouse from Chloe. She has had this blouse since 2014 at least. She finished the look with a white blazer and white trouser. Again, like on Friday, I wish she was wearing a bit more color, but she looks very professional. I imagine after this, she flew back to London with the kids. Tomorrow is Madeleine and Chris' 3rd wedding anniversary so would imagine that they are spending the day as a family. It appears that she is wearing the same gold hoops, that we saw on Friday and possibly her Krista Kretzschmar bangle. She appears to be wearing nude shoes- but I cannot tell from these 2 photos.

In the next week or so, keep your eyes open for a big change on the blog! It's going to be good- I promise! 

Madeleine attends a Folk Concert

This morning, Princess Madeleine attended a Folk Music Mas at Hedvig Eleonora Church. This Mass featured the Järvsö Church Choir. Järvsö is in Madeleine's Duchy so it is nice that she attended to support her own Duchy.

She wore a dress from the London Based Brand, Somerset by Alice Temperley. (Thanks Jess) This is a brand which is most associated with the Duchess of Cambridge, but others have worn her clothing as well. Her shoes are a pair that I remember most notably from the opening of Parliament in both 2008 and 2011, however they have never been identified. Her clutch is also an older piece and that has not been identified as well. Perhaps we can find out their designers today. She paired the dress with a belt which appears to be a leather with embellished crocodile skin- perhaps it is this one from Saint Laurent but I am unsure because I have yet to see a photo of the buckle. She wore her heart shaped bangle from Krista Kretzschmar once again and wore simple diamond earrings, allowing her dress to be the statement piece of the ensemble.

Leonore in Gotland

Today marked Princess Leonore's first official engagement. She traveled to Gotland, her duchy, with her parents to undertake a variety of engagements in the area. Chris, Madeleine, and Leonore arrived shortly after 12:00 via airplane. They went straight to meet Haidi- the horse Leonore was given as a Christening gift from Gotland. A live stream of photos can be seen here. She was extremely excited upon her arrival- as you can see below!

Leonore ran all over the place. She gave everyone exercise by running all over the field, which I feel any child would do if given the opportunity. I was watching via live stream and I wanted to run with her! She was given a carrot to feed to Haidi, which she proceeded to eat herself! Leonore is certainly a ball of energy!

She is off to go have lunch now and this post will be updated throughout the day as they undertake more engagements. She got herself a bit wet while playing with the water and brushes to clean Haidi so she changed her dress before leaving. Madeleine mentioned that they expected her to run around because that is who she is as a child- very energetic.

They have now finished eating a lunch of meatballs and mini burgers with ice cream for dessert and are walking through Gotland to their final destination of a children's museum. Along their walk, Leonore got a small bouquet of flowers and she once again showed off her running skills as they walked down the stone street. She looks like she is having a great time!

Leonore arrived wearing a blue and white pleated summer dress from Jacadi and her Pretty Ballerina Ballet Flats. She took her flats off to run around and later put them back on when leaving. Her bow is of course from Livly. When she arrived and got off the plane, she was wearing this scalloped sweater from Jacadi. 

Madeleine wore a brown outfit- I am not a huge fan. While I understand it is perfect for chasing around Leonore, I would have preferred a less boxy top. Nevertheless, her top comes from Joseph. Her shoes come from Tabitha Simmons. Her sunglasses are from Valentino. Her heart-shaped bangle bracelet *appears* come from Krista Kretzschmar, but I am waiting to hear back from the designer to confirm. CONFIRMED When getting off the plane, she was pictured wearing a white jacket which readers have informed me comes from Moncler.

After their time playing in the field with the horse, Madeleine changed into a pair of wedges from Vince. Her new bag, we finally got a good look at and is from Chloe. 

While playing with Haidi, she got her self a bit wet so she changed into a white and blue dress from Livly. 

Other fun bits of the visit included Chris revealing he is taking Swedish Lessons but needs finds it hard when he is not fully submersed in the culture. Madeleine said she prefers living in Sweden and that she misses riding and Chris compared Leonore's energy level to a monkey- which I think is safe to say is an accurate representation of what we saw today. In some of the photos you can see Chris holding a riding helmet for Leonore. She didn't end up needing the helmet as she was more interested in running than in her horse- but her helmet comes from Casco.
