Prince Daniel had to cancel another appointment due to illness and was absent from a lunch with former members of the government at the Royal Palace on Friday afternoon.
2023 is a special year for the Swedish royal family, the schedule of Princess Victoria, 45, and Co. is full. But more and more often the heir to the throne has to do without her husband Prince Daniel, 49, at official appearances due to illness. Like on Friday, March 10, 2023, when they met former members of the government for lunch together with Queen Silvia, 79, King Carl Gustaf, 79, Prince Carl Philip, 43, and Princess Sofia, 38, and then a large anniversary exhibition in the Wanted to visit the Royal Castle in Stockholm.
Prince Daniel has to cancel appointments due to illness
Prince Daniel’s name was removed from the royal calendar during the morning, and Princess Victoria appeared at lunch without her husband. For this reason, “Dana Press” contacted the court and asked about the reasons for Daniel’s absence. “Prince Daniel has a cold and will not be attending the official appointments today,” the information department said in an email.
Princess Victoria copes with lunch without her husband
Princess Victoria, on the other hand, does not seem to have contracted her husband (yet) and beamed with her family at lunch in the castle. The court shares some impressions of the lunch on Instagram and writes: “The King and Queen today hosted a lunch for the former ministers of the previous government who resigned last autumn. The Crown Princess, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia attended also attended the meal. The government of former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson took office on November 30, 2021 and left on October 18, 2022.” Prince Daniel’s illness is not mentioned online.
As an organ transplant recipient, Prince Daniel was one of the risk patients during the corona pandemic since he received a new kidney from his father Olle Westling, 78, in 2009. In March 2021, Victoria and Daniel contracted the virus for the first time, and in January 2022 they became infected again. Since then, the 49-year-old has often had to cancel appointments due to colds, most recently on January 21, 2023.
