Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden sports nautical-themed polka dot dress as she visits a port in Gothenburg on Veterans Day

Must read

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looked typically stylish as she she took part in the Veterans Day celebrations in Gothenburg on Thursday.

The Swedish royal, 46, sported nautical colours as she visited Tångudden port to honour those who have served with the Swedish Armed Forces and to remember those who died while serving their country.

Mother-of-two Victoria was dressed in a long-sleeved, navy dress with white spots and a pussybow feature as she arrived in Sweden’s second largest city.

Cinched at the waist with a slim, white belt, the dress was perfectly complemented by a white, collarless blazer.

Princess Victoria completed her elegant look with a pair of high-heeled, navy court shoes and a clutch bag in the same shade.

Wearing pearl earrings and with her brown hair brushed back into a chic chignon, she looked typically polished for the occasion.

The fresh-faced royal kept her make-up simple and smiled as she posed for photographs with members of the Swedish Armed Forces, specifically the country’s Royal Navy. 

At one point, she boarded a large vessel, holding on to the railings to steady herself at sea.

Sweden’s Veterans Day today, which takes place annually on May 29, comes ahead of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, which will see leaders from around the world honour their militaries and commemorate the dead. 

Earlier this week, Princess Victoria put on a chic display in a floral frock as she attended an annual event at The Nordic Museum in Stockholm.

The 46-year-old royal stunned in a summer ensemble, sporting a baby blue floral midi dress with matching blue heels. 

Her frock, which featured a gathered design around the lower waist and short sleeves, featured an elegant botanical print with pink flowers and green leaves.

She wore her brown locks pulled into a chic low bun, and opted for a natural make-up look, with a clear complexion, light eye-make-up, and a pink lip.

The finishing touches to her ensemble included a few pieces of carefully curated jewellery.

Among them were a classic silver wrist watch, a platinum ring on her ring finger, and a pair of colourful statement earrings, which matched the palette of her dress.

Victoria was greeted at the museum’s entrance by its director Sanne Houby-Nielsen, ahead of her attendance at the Friends of The Nordic Museum and Skansen at The Nordic Museum meeting.

The royal has been a member and First Honorary Member of the association since 1997.

Skansen describes itself as ‘the world’s oldest open-air museum, showcasing the whole of Sweden with houses, animals and traditions from every part of the country’.

The appearance followed another recent outing; last week, the Crown Princess attended an World Wildlife Fund (WWF) event with her dog Rio. 

The organisation, which focuses its work on protecting the environment and nature, hosted its annual event in Stockholm. 

Dressed casually in a purple parka jacket and fitted green trousers, the royal rode the ferry where she visited the Nämdöskärgården National Park on the archipelago of Nämdö.

Once slipping off her parka, the Princess revealed a magnificent queen silk blouse which was open necked. 

As a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, Victoria has long been committed to causes including sustainability and climate action.

Earlier this month, as she opened the 2024 Eurovision song contest in a surprise video clip, versatile Victoria stunned in a pale pink power suit.

In attendance for the final on Saturday 11 May, she opened the ceremony with a pre-recorded speech to the hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.

The royal appeared to be following in the footsteps of the Princess of Wales, who opened the song contest in Liverpool last year with a touching piano performance tribute to Ukraine.

Victoria looked chic in a pale pink suit, which she paired with a white blouse and stilettos in the short clip.

She appeared to be standing in one of the main rooms in the Palace, revealing the opulent decorations and a large bouquet of flowers placed behind her.
