Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden - Birthday program is full of fun
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrates her 47th birthday on this Sunday (14th of July). The Swedish Royal Palace published a new photo of the Heir Apparent on Instagram.
In the photo, she is sitting on a grand chair in Swedish national attire - a white blouse with a collar, a blue waistcoat, a yellow dress, red shoes, and a white veil on her head - holding a bouquet of pink-white flowers, and smiling. According to the caption, the photo was taken earlier this week at the awarding of the "Ölander of the Year" prize.
The Palace also shared: "Today, Your Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, turns 47! The Crown Princess celebrates her birthday traditionally on Öland."
Simple Birthday Program for Victoria and her Family
The traditional Swedish birthday program for the afternoon is as follows:
"At 3:50 pm, the Crown Princess receives the well-wishes of the public in front of Solliden Castle. At 4:00 pm, the Crown Princess and her family travel in a procession through Borgholm. At 5:00 pm, the Crown Princess and the royal family attend the Victoria Concert at Borgholm Castle", it reads in the post.
Additionally, the Crown Princess will present the Victoria Award to Swedish volleyball player Isabelle Haak (25).
