Eva O’Neill: Intimate chat on the arm of Queen Silvia’s nephew
It was a very special evening. To kick off the celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of King Carl Gustaf, 77, members of the Swedish royal family visited the Drottningholm Palace Theater on Thursday, September 14th. Footage shows that not only Crown Princess Victoria, 46, came to the performance with her husband Prince Daniel and their children Princess Estelle, 11, and Prince Oscar, 7. Prince Carl Philip, 44, also appeared with Princess Sofia, and Princess Madeleine, 41, arrived with her husband Chris O’Neill.

The son-in-law of Queen Silvia, 79, also had his mother Eva with her. As photos prove, she appeared on the arm of a member of the royal family
The “royal in-laws” posed together
The visit of the “royal in-laws”, as “Svensk Damtidning” calls them, caused a special surprise: both Marie and Erik Hellqvist, parents of Princess Sofia, and Ewa and Olle Westling, parents of Prince Daniel, were among the royal guests. They posed together for the photographers. Marie Hellqvist wore emerald green lace, while Ewa Westling opted for an elegant midnight blue tuxedo dress.

The parents of Princess Sofia or Prince Daniel are often not seen making public appearances. All the better that they are taking part in the anniversary celebrations for King Carl Gustaf.
