Amore in Swedish
A tender gesture said more than a thousand words. When Queen Silvia of Sweden (68) on Monday lovingly hugged her husband King Carl Gustaf on his 66th birthday on the palace balcony, everyone knew that the chemistry was right between them! Because: When did the last two public show so much closeness?
Whether it was the little princess Estelle (2 months), who made this miracle like a magic fairy, or the spring scent that was in the air, will remain Silvia's and Carl Gustaf's secret. In any case, the two can start carefree in May - in a month that has it all, which is full of exciting appointments.
It starts tomorrow with the visit of Federal President Joachim Gauck, who wants to pay his respects to the Swedish royals with partner Daniela Schadt. An important date for deepening German-Swedish relations, which thanks to Queen Silvia of Sweden with their German roots are already close and friendly.
The next big event will not be long in coming: On May 18 and 19, Queen Silvia of Sweden and Carl Gustaf will travel to London to congratulate Queen Elizabeth on her throne jubilee with other royals at Windsor Castle. Two days of splendor and glory!
Even hosts - as grandparents - are Queen Silvia and Carl Gustaf on May 22, when their first granddaughter Estelle is baptized in the Stockholm Castle Church. Not only Europe's heir to the throne, but also the relatives of Denmark and Norway are invited. This is going to be exciting, because nothing can go wrong, because then all the world looks forward to Sweden's royal house and expects beautiful touching scenes.
It gets even more exciting in the last days of May when it comes to the four-day state visit to South Korea. A journey that will definitely appeal to Silvia and Carl Gustaf, because both like Asia very much, and since everything seems to be fine again between them, this will surely be a harmonious trip with a lot of love.
