The future home for Crown princess Victoria 

Today in the news is that Haga Castle will be the future home for The Crown princess and her husband. When Victorias father - our present king Carl Gustav XI - was a little boy, he and his 4 sisters were playing in the surroundings of this beautiful castle!

The place is used for conferences today and it is still not certain in how big part of it they will live. Here you have a link in English to read more:

Royal Duties 

Representing Sweden

As heir apparent to the throne, the Crown Princess is a working member of the Swedish Royal Family with her own agenda of official engagements and she holds a significant supportive role to her father. Victoria attends the regular Advisory Council on Foreign Affairs and the information councils with Government ministers headed by the King and steps in as a temporary regent (Riksföreståndare) when it is needed. Victoria also takes part in the regular official dinners hosted by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, state visits to Sweden, high level and official visits from foreign dignitaries, the opening of the Riksdag (Parliament), celebrations of the Swedish National Day and the annual Nobel festivities.

The declaration of the Crown Princess's majority (coming of age) took place at a ceremony in the Hall of State at the Royal Palace of Stockholm on 14 July 1995, when she delivered her first speech to the Riksdag (Parliament).

The Crown Princess has made many official trips abroad as a representative of Sweden. Her first major, official visit on her own was to Japan in the autumn of 2001, where she promoted Swedish tourism, design, music, environmental sustainability and gastronomy during the "Swedish Style" event. That same year, Victoria also travelled to the west coast of the United States were she participated in the celebrations of the Nobel centenary.

Victoria has traveled extensively as representative for Sweden during her life. Some of the countries she has visited include Egypt, China, Brazil, Australia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Japan, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy.

And every year at the Nobel festivities she is there

Links to read more about the Swedish Folk Dress 

or even buy your own!

Swedens National costume
. Today here are 840 different regional costumes identified in Sweden, 550 women's and 210 men's. Although the folk costumes differ from region to region and you can identify influences from many styles in each and every one. The little round hat or skull cap was popular in medieval times, just like the pixie cap and the tasselled garters that are so prominent in the Delsbo men's costume. Similarly the wide leather belts for men and women's belts with buckles all originate in the Middle Ages as did the hanging waist bags that were common before pockets were invented

Bernadotte have some famous names 

Here are links to read about them

Folke Bernadotte

Sigvard Bernadotte


Prins Eugene
Folke Bernadotte
Folke Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg (2 January 1895 - 17 September 1948), was a Swedish diplomat noted for his negotiation of the release of about 15,000 prisoners from German concentration camps during World War II. In 1945, he received a German surrender offer from Heinrich Himmler, though the offer was ultimately rejected.
Folke Bernadotte killed
After the war, Bernadotte was unanimously chosen by the victorious powers to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1947-1948. He was assassinated in Jerusalem in 1948 by members of the underground Zionist terrorist group Lehi while pursuing his official duties.
Sigvard Bernadotte
World famous Deigner
Many of Sigvard Bernadotte's silverworks look deceptively easy to execute, but in reality, the simplicity of his design requires perfect tools combined with an extremely high degree of accuracy of the experienced Georg Jensen silversmiths. Bernadotte's ascetic candlesticks with no other decoration than the lines of the flutings are examples of his elegantly simplified but personal style. The sophisticated flatware pattern named Bernadotte from 1939 enhances the beauty of the utilitarian articles and possesses both a modern and a solid look. The stringent and aristocratic expression of its channelled handles epitomizes the characteristics of a Bernadotte's refined sense of style and the design is still one of the Georg Jensen's most popular flatware patterns.
