Odds and Ends

Neither of these two photos have enough to write about to make them their own posts so let's lump them together as one!

Yesterday, Princess Madeleine posted this lovely photo of her with Nicolas on Facebook. She wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to everyone who acts like a mother keeping children safe. Mother's Day is not a Swedish Holiday nor was yesterday Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom, but Madeleine did live in the United States for a few years so it makes sense that she is aware of it.

Nicolas is wearing a sweater from Marie Chantal in this photo! How precious! A reader on Facebook suggested that Madeleine's top might be from Zara but I don't think we can be certain on that with the low quality of the photo that we were given. 

Today, Victoria and Daniel joined the King and Queen for a meeting about the State Visit from Chile that is about to take place. Currently the calendar only says that the King and Queen are going to be participating in this State Visit but I believe that is most likely not correct. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see some other members of the family joining in for different aspects of the visit. 

UPDATED: Prince Oscar Carl Olof!

This morning the King announced the newest Bernadotte Prince's name- Oscar Carl Olof! He will be called Prince Oscar and is Duke of Skåne. The King said that he had not met the littlest one yet as he has the Flu and they want to be careful with germs- but he was hopeful that he would get to meet him this afternoon. The Court published this photo of the new family of 4 going home from the hospital.

This afternoon the entire Royal Family (minus Victoria) attended the Te Deum for Prince Oscar. Princess Madeleine who was here in Stockholm for the birth attended as well as her husband Chris O'Neill- even though he was not originally on the calendar to attend. I imagine he flew over from London last minute.

Princess Estelle also attended looking very adorable in a jacket that had once been worn by her Aunt. I think she is wearing the same Marie Chantal dress that she wore in her 4th Birthday photos. 

Queen Silvia pulled out a blue suit to celebrate the new prince's arrival and Princess Sofia also wore a new blue dress. This dress, while it is still unconfirmed, is from Ida Lanto- the same designer of 2 other maternity dresses she has worn recently. She wore black pumps and carried a new clutch which appears to be from Diane von Furstenberg. Her hat was made by Swedish Milliner Malinda Damgaard.

Princess Madeleine wore green ensemble- the coat we have seen before as she wore it when she was pregnant with Leonore in 2013 while attending an event for Min Stora Dag. (Don't read too much into her wearing it while pregnant- it was early in the pregnancy and not maternity) She paired it with a dark green skirt or dress- hard to say from the photos, and new green boots from Tod's. The boots are a few years old but the first time she has been photographed wearing them. (Huge thanks to @PrincessanSofia for the find) She carried what appears to be her Angel Jackson and her necklace looks to be from Marni.

You can see more photos from the Te Deum Service at Svenskdam. I think that wraps up this morning's excitement for now. I will update the post if new fashion finds are found.

Happy Birthday Estelle!

Today Princess Estelle turns 4! On this occasion the Royal Court published some new photos!

Estelle is wearing a dress from Marie Chantal (that she wore to Desiree Magnusson's Baptism). Victoria is wearing a new coat from Lexington Co.

January 21- A Busy Day for Princesses

Today was a busy day for Princesses All Around.

Let's start with Madeleine who owned the Paparazzi this morning by posting her own photos of her Vacation while getting a perfect jab in at them ignoring the families privacy. Go Madeleine!

Family time, sadly interrupted. What a pity we weren't just asked for photos, because here are some sweet ones.
Posted by Princess Madeleine of Sweden on Wednesday, January 20, 2016

In one of the photos, she can be seen wearing a super cute Beach Cover-Up from Juliet Dunn London. In the photos you can also see Leonore in some Livly Bows and a dress from Marie Chantal! One photo featuring Nicolas with Madeleine shows him wearing a bodysuit from Marie Chantal as well!

Next up we will go to Crown Princess Victoria who attended one of the concerts during the Young Music at the Palace which we discussed yesterday.

Later in the day, she visited Futebol da forca (IFK Tumba Football Club) and observed a training session. The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation supports the work that Tumba does.

Hedrad att prinsessan tog sin tid för att komma till oss i Tumba för att se min träning.Är så stolt över mitt lag😁❤️ pic.twitter.com/8Cb5fCJAuZ

She wore pants for the first time (for a public engagement) in many months today. I have no ideas on the outfit besides for that her bag is from Valentino and her shoes are Yves Saint Laurent. Her earrings come from Kreuger Jewellery.

Finally we are at Princess Sofia, who handled out the medals to Sophiasysters. On January 1st, she took over from the King's sister, Princess Christina as honorary chairman of Sophiahemmet.

She wore a beautiful new lace dress from H&M Maternity Line, over which she wore her Max Mara jacket from the Te Deum before the wedding. I think she is wearing Yves Saint Laurent pumps. Her bracelet comes from Pearls of Freja. (Credit for finding this dress goes to @PRINSESSANSOFIA on Twitter)

UPDATED: A Royal Christening

Today Prince Nicolas was christened and the entire Swedish Royal Family was out in new outfits looking amazing. Let's look at what they wore!

Starting with the mother, Princess Madeleine, she wore a dress from Valentino (no real surprise there- she has worn Valentino for her wedding and Princess Leonore's Christening). Her shoes are from Gianvito Rossi.

Little Leonore stole the show refusing to sit still. She was running around the church and being well 1! She wanted to know what was going on and who can blame her!

For her brother's big day, she wore a dress from Bonpoint. Leonore's had the addition of some lace which I wonder if it came from her mother's wedding dress.

Next up is Queen Silvia, who was dressed nicely in blue for the ceremony. She has worn Valentino at her last 2 grandchildren's christenings but I am unsure about this piece. Nevertheless- I loved it.

Crown Princess Victoria showed off her baby bump in a beautiful purple dress. Reports say it is from Seraphine but I have an email out to my contact at the company to confirm and possibly get some stock pictures.
UPDATE: I have confirmed that this dress is indeed from Seraphine. They said that they have created a few bespoke pieces for Victoria and this is one of them. This means 2 things- 1. no stock photos and 2. we can expect to see more of this brand on her!

A photo posted by Expressen Kungligt (@expressenkungligt) on Oct 11, 2015 at 4:48am PDT

Princess Estelle was right on Leonore's tail for stealing the show. Estelle at one point ran out of her seat to go get her crying cousin his pacifier. What a sweetheart!

Estelle rewore her outfit from Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip's Marriage Ban ceremony which came from Marie Chantal.

Finally for the royal ladies comes Princess Sofia.

A photo posted by Expressen Kungligt (@expressenkungligt) on Oct 11, 2015 at 5:57am PDT

Sofia looked amazing in a fuchsia dress from Gucci which I think was by far my favorite. She wore this dress with shoes from the Swedish brand, Rizzo.

 

What did you think?

Marriage Bans for Sofia and Carl Philip

Today was Sofia and Carl Philip's Marriage Bans Service at the Royal Chapel in Stockholm. This meant we had lots of hats, and new fashions for all. Plus we got to see the two littlest Princesses dressed in matching coats! Let's start by going through the fashion in order of succession.

First off, Victoria. For today she wore a new dress from Filippa K paired with a Philip Treacy hat. She wore her white/grey pump from By Malene Birger and her silver Nancy Gonzalez clutch.

Estelle wore a dress and coat from Marie Chantal and her typical Livly bow and shoes.

Sofia wore a hat from Malinda Damgaard and a dress with a matching jacket from MaxMara (thanks @yourlovemoments). She carried a Bottega Veneta clutch. UPDATE: Thanks to Heaven- Sofia also wore her Kurt Geiger pumps!

Madeleine wore a lace Champagne colored dress under a matching coat Seraphine. The coat is a bespoke piece but they kindly sent me photos. She paired it with a pair of nude heels and clutch both from Jimmy Choo and topped the ensemble off with a Philip Treacy hat. (Madeleine's dress- Their Allegra style dress- is currently out of stock but it will be restocked by the end of the week for those of you who are interested! It is the same dress she wore in blue to the Magnusson Christening in March.)

Leonore wore the same coat as Estelle from Marie Chantal as well as a dress from them, a pair of silver shoes, and a bow from Livly.

The Swedish Royal Family attends a Christening

Princess Christina's, King Carl Gustaf's sister, first grandchild and granddaughter was christened in Stockholm on Saturday March 21 and the entire royal family was in attendance. Leonore and Estelle looked exceedingly adorable and the rest of the family looked to be in good spirits. Let's look at the fashion by family section.

 Victoria rewore her brown coat that she first debut in San Fransisco and paired it with her COS tan dress. She wore the same shoes as she did in her meeting last week from Tabitha Simmons. I believe her bag is from TOD but I am not sure.

Estelle wore a coat from Twist and Tango, adorably carried a bag from Marie Chantal, and wore shoes and a bow from Livly.

 Sofia wore a new dress and jacket from Karen Millen which she paired with a clutch and shoes from LK Bennett.

 And finally Madeleine and Leonore. I have no clue what Madeleine is wearing because of the coat covering the dress but it could be a dress from Tiffany Rose. Leonore wore a coat and bow from Livly.
