When the Swedish royals have something to celebrate, it is usually a relaxed family celebration. This also applies to the 78th birthday of King Carl XVI. Gustaf. The monarch received congratulations from the defense forces and the public in the palace courtyard. The Regent then appeared on the balcony together with Queen Silvia and her children and grandchildren.
It was the sons of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia who attracted everyone’s attention. The youngest in particular, three-year-old Julian, amused the crowd with his grimaces – and was reminiscent of the British Prince Louis. The younger son of Prince William and Princess Kate is also known to like to joke around in public.
Princess Madeleine, who lives with her family in the USA, was not on the balcony. There have been repeated reports that the 41-year-old wants to move back to her homeland. But this has not yet been specifically implemented.
