At the birthday party, his grandchildren steal the show

It was supposed to be King Carl Gustaf’s 67-year-old day of honor, but yesterday’s focus was suddenly on his grandchildren.

Swedish royal family appears on the balcony

Finally, the Swedish royal family was able to return to its traditional processes. For two years, the royals had to do without it because of the ongoing corona pandemic. Yesterday, Saturday (April 30), the citizens of Sweden looked forward to waving to their monarch after a long absence, congratulating them and seeing for themselves just how great the children of the royal family have grown at the grand parade. In contrast to the adults, they got the full attention.

Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, 78, Princess Sofia, 37, Prince Daniel, 48, and Crown Princess Victoria, 44, found themselves on the balcony with the kids. Little Prince Gabriel, 4, made his debut there and did really well as a crowd puller. Like a pro and not at all shy, he leaned forward and waved at the visitors.

The focus is on the grandchildren

Prince Oscar, 6, also showed courage as he reached up without hesitation and held up his small hand in a salute to the people. Especially the moment when Oscar imitated the military salute and saluted, he made mom and grandma laugh. His mother Princess Victoria couldn’t resist and kissed her youngest on the cheek. Princess Estelle, 10, recently with glasses, was also a special eye-catcher. She seemed to have had the most fun on the balcony act. The ten-year-old beams all over her face as she greets the people in front of the palace.

There is no question that King Carl Gustaf’s birthday was all about his adorable grandchildren. But the 76-year-old will certainly not have objected to giving the attention to the three.
