Queen Silvia of Sweden is experiencing one of her most special Christmases. These dates are highly celebrated by the Swedish royal family not only for the holidays, but also for the birthday of their matriarch. And this year she has become more important than ever when she reaches the age of 80. A special milestone that she wanted to share with everyone around her.
Although this day was last December 23, an hour before, he received a pleasant surprise. The Royal Palace in Stockholm was filled with laughter and love with the arrival of her eight grandchildren. Along with a huge pink cake, the little ones came with pointy golden hats to be with their grandmother.
"Wishing mom and "Mormor" a happy birthday," published her daughter, Princess Magdalena, on her social networks, who was also present at the event. Along with this phrase, she did not hesitate to make public an image in which the eight little ones appear blowing out the candles with Queen Silvia.
A sweet family picture that has been repeated on several occasions. And the love that the wife of King Carl Gustav of Sweden feels for her grandchildren is immense. For this reason, they also went to the Palace for the traditional Christmas decorations.
Alexander, Oscar, Nicolas, Gabriel, Estelle, Adrienne, Leonore and Julian are the princes and princesses who occupy the Queen's heart. All aged between 11 and two years, Estelle, daughter of Crown Princess Victoria, being the oldest, and Julian, son of Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland, the youngest.
And this has just been one more moment in the long list of special events that the Swedish royal family has experienced during 2023. Among other things, 500 years have passed since King Gustav Vasa founded Sweden as an independent kingdom.
But that is not all. It has also been 50 years of King Carlos Gustavo's reign, and, therefore, his golden wedding with Queen Silvia. Three years after ascending the throne, the Swedish king married the current queen consort.
Half a century that, despite the happiness that the arrival of his children and grandchildren has brought him into the world, has also been marked by controversy. Several biographies and published news stories claim that Queen Silvia has had to endure a long list of infidelities on the part of her husband over the years. Even so, it seems that she is willing to enjoy the good things to the fullest.
