Social Media Sunday: Week 2

Thank you so much for all the Tweets, Messages, and comments we have recieved in response to last week's Social Media Sunday Post! Sounds like you all enjoy it so we will keep it going for a bit!

First up this week, Victoria, Daniel, Estelle, and Oscar returned from Öland and are back in Stockholm! They arrived in Öland at the end of last week and were there for 3-4 days- so a nice long weekend.

Check out this fun video of the King and President of Chile leaving the Royal Mews at the beginning of the state video! Oh to have a birds eye view of occasions such as this! 

Victoria and Oscar were seen walking in Stockholm as well this week!

It was a very slow week for Social Media finds but that is not something I can control! Hopefully next week will have some more! 

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.

 

Prince Alexander! (and Family)

Yesterday the Prince Couple released photos of Prince Alexander in connection to Prince Carl Philip's Birthday. These series of 5 photo were taken in Drottningholm Palace and on the grounds around the palace. These photos were taken by Erika Gerdemark, who also took the couples Engagement Photos, Wedding Photos, and now their new family photos. I suspect she has come the Prince Couple's photographer as both of his sisters seem to have their go-to photographers. (Crown Princess Victoria - Kate Gabor, Princess Madeleine- Brigitte Grenfeldt)

The photos also feature another member of their little family- Siri!

In the first selection of photos, Sofia is wearing a new white dress from Lindex. In the final photo she is wearing a top from H&M and trousers from Tiger of Sweden. Her shoes are not Gianvito Rossi as has been previously reported- the heels are not the same. The pumps are currently a UFO (unidentified fashion object) but we are trying to identify them and when that happens we shall update the blog!

Day 2 of State Visit

Today is the 2nd day of the State Visit from Chile to Sweden. The day started with the King and President attending a Business Forum organized by Business Sweden and ProChile at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. The forum was created in hopes to highlight the two country's mutual desire for cooperation in the areas of sustainable mining, transport, healthcare, as well as energy and environmental technologies.

After this forum, Victoria, Daniel, and Carl Philip joined for a lunch held at Stockholm City Hall hosted by the President of Stockholm's City Council and the Finance Commissioner. Later today the President will host a response dinner at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm.

For the lunch at the City Hall, Victoria wore a white brocade dress from the British Brand, Suzannah. You might recall that the Countess of Wessex wore a similar dress from this brand not too long ago. Victoria paired it with her white Ralph Lauren bag and a pair of white heels which look to be from Gianvito Rossi. In her hair, Victoria wore a hairpiece that I believe is new but we will have to wait for our Royal Hat Expert to weigh in on that! She accessorized with a necklace and pair of earrings from Kreuger Jewellery.

First Day of the State Visit from Chile

Today both Victoria and Sofia joined the King and Queen alongside their spouses to welcome the President of Chile to Sweden! This State Visit will be from today until Thursday and although only the King and Queen are listed on the Court's Calendar, I imagine this is not the last we have seen of either Victoria or Sofia.

Today, both ladies joined in in welcoming the President Michelle Bachelet to the Royal Palace and attended a lunch at the Palace. They posed for photos before dining and that is what you see below.

Victoria wore a new blush pink dress from The Fold London and a new pair of blush pink shoes from Acne! (Thanks Johanna for the comment!) Due to the fact that I have only seen this photo so far it is hard to say but I believe that she is wearing her Philip Treacy headpiece first worn to Princess Leonore's Christening. Victoria also appears to be wearing a brooch that she has had for a few years from the Marni for H&M Collection.

Princess Sofia wore a matching white dress and jacket which she paired with her Manolo Blahnik pumps. These pink pumps she first wore during her Nobel's Debut back in 2014.

This post will be updated as we get better photos and more ID's are made so stay tuned for that!

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. 

Social Media Sunday: Week of May 2nd

After the great response from our post "Inside the Celebrations" last week, I've decided to do a trial run of a similar series of posts called- Social Media Sunday. I think this will be on a trial basis for a month or so to see what you all think. It will look like collection of posts from Social Media from the previous weeks featuring outings, sightings, and stories of the royals. It may include some fashion ID's that have come later in the week. I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to leave a comment or send me some feedback on what you thought! 

The day after the celebration (May 1st) Victoria and Daniel were seen walking in Haga with their children.

On Monday, the King and Queen were photographed walking the dog Brandie in Drottningholm Park. Brandie is the brown dog in the photos. You can see the King leaning on the walking stick in the background and the queen in blue and her favorite brown coat.

Victoria and Daniel took the kids to Öland, where they have a house. Öland has a very special place in the Royal Family's heart and is a great place for the kids to spend their time running around outside, playing in the pool, at the sea, and going for walks! Victoria was seen out for a walk- the posters writes that she was wearing a sunhat and pushing a stroller.

The King and Queen seemed to take some private time to visit a museum in Malaysia after the Global Child Forum this week. Here they are at a museum where the King received a surprise Birthday Present!

More photos from their day off. They appear to be sightseeing in the city, something they don't often get a chance to do when they go on official tours abroad.
