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: 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!

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.

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?

Prince Nicolas wears Pili Carrera!

So recently the court published some lovely photos of Princess Madeleine and her family- including the littlest prince!

I can confirm that Prince Nicolas was indeed wearing Pili Carrera! Here is what I was told-

"Hello Sarah, Yes, this was from the summer collection, and we sold out of them.I was trying to get it (a stock photo) but no luck, only like 70% of our collection has images."

So while we don't have a photo of the little outfit by itself- let us just enjoy the photos of the family!
