A glittering display! Swedish royal family don dazzling jewels and elegant gowns to attend Nobel dinner in Stockholm
The Swedish royal family were glittering in jewels (and jewel tones) as they attended a dazzling event this evening.
Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Sofia, Prince Carl Philip, King Carl Gustaf XVI and Queen Silvia looked regal at the King’s Nobel Dinner.
The heir to the throne, 46, stunned in a black-and-white gown with a full skirt patterned with floral appliqué, a black belt at the waist and a white bodice with cappes sleeves. Her husband Prince Daniel looked sharp in a dinner jacket and white tie.
Meanwhile Princess Sofia, 39, stunned in a ruby-red gown with a bardot neckline and a full skirt. She wore her thick brunette locks down and in loose curls, and accessorised with a glowing tiara.
The King and Queen were elegant in equally smart outfits, with Silvia opting for a floor-length silver gown with long sleeves and embellished with silver metallic beads.

Earlier in the evening, Victoria stood for the Swedish national anthem as the awards commenced at the Concert Hall in the nation’s capital city, and showed the majesty of her full-skirted, floor-length gown with an asymmetric neckline and detailing on one shoulder.
She was joined by her father and mother Queen Silvia. Meanwhile Victoria’s husband, Prince Daniel, was sharp in a tuxedo in a row behind.
Her appearance in the Swedish capital comes after a trip to London last week, during which time she and Prince Daniel visited attractions like Kew Gardens and the Natural History Museum – and also made a glamorous appearance at the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

The glitzy event comes after Victoria and Daniel kicked off their visit to the United Kingdom yesterday
Kate, 41, paired her stunning £1,288 Talina gown from Safiyaa with an equally dazzling smile as she stepped out in Kensington, showing no sign of anguish after a turbulent week for the royal family following the release of a bombshell book.
Senior royals in the UK are said to be ‘dismayed’ at the row after the book by Omid Scobie mentioned two names of senior royals he claimed expressed ‘concerns’ about the colour of Prince Archie ‘s skin.
The Dutch version of his book Endgame was pulled from shelves in the Netherlands after it appeared to name the two royals – something Scobie has put down to a translation error. The pair identified in the book were named widely by media organisations around the world tonight, including the Guardian and the Times, as King Charles and Kate.
Amid the controversy, the Princess of Wales maintained a ‘business as usual’ attitude as she attended the annual event with Prince William and their guests, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, dressed in a black Toteme frock, and Prince Daniel.

However, the Princess brushed off the mentions as she arrived at the Royal Variety Performance 2023 in the show-stopping gown which featured flared sleeves and statement shoulders, plus a gem-encrusted high-neck.
She donned a chunky gem bracelet with matching earrings, carried a sparkling clutch bag and wore her thick brunette locks in bouncy curls.
Meanwhile Prince William looked sharp in a black tuxedo, and he acted as the perfect gentleman as he held out his hand for his wife as they took to the red carpet.
On arrival they met ITV executives before being introduced to Daphne Selfe, who at 95 is the world’s oldest supermodel.
Excited crowds gathered outside the hall to peer through the windows for the royal arrival.

Speaking to Ms Selfe, Prince William said: ‘You’re modelling at 95, that is incredible,’ before adding: ‘They don’t make you travel about too much do they?’
The Princess of Wales told Ms Selfe that she ‘loved’ her dress, which had red feather tassel sleeves, to which she replied that Kate was very tall.
The Princess then joked: ‘I’m quite tall and I have high heels on, so I’m cheating.’
Prince William added: ‘I don’t have high heels on.’
The Princess of Wales and the Princess of Sweden were then presented with floral bouquets made from English & Swedish national flowers.
Before the performance started Prince and Princess of Wales were welcomed in the royal box with a rendition of ‘God Save the Queen’ performed by West End star Samantha Barks, who plays Elsa in the musical Frozen.
