Princess Benedikte arrived on Friday in Stockholm.

She celebrated her birthday on Friday, so was able to share the day with her sister, QM.

Love Mary's outfit. Didn't she wear that to an airport welcoming ceremony during a State Visit in the past year? I do have to say -- she looks a bit tired. She has had a rather hectic schedule this week -- to Africa and back within a few days and then to a few events in Denmark. That's a lot of travel and prep!

I'm just thankful that Victoria covered up that hideous dress with a coat. What was she thinking?

Madeleine looks divine in that soft pink .. adore her hat! Credit to Sofia for even getting dressed just a week after giving birth.

It looked a tiiiny bit better with the coat on...

From Expressen:

"There is a closed private gala dinner where the speeches will probably remain secret for a while. Then after dinner, the guests are transferred into the White Sea, the banquet room. There will be an ABBA show with the gang from Tyrol for about an hour and a half. Then at 1 am roughly, a DJ playing. the king has told staff that no music will stop playing before 05:00 ".

I seem to remember each of the Swedish King's children had wedding celebrations which lasted all night, too. :D
