Members of the House of Bernadotte were in full force on the 14th day of July to celebrate the 45th birthday of Crown Princess Victoria, Duchess of Vastergotland.  In Sweden, her birthday is known as Victoriadagarna or Victoria Days.

The Victoria Days celebration usually takes place on the island of Öland, where the Swedish Royal family spends their summer holiday. It is also a flag flying day to mark the heir-to-the-throne's birthday.

The day started at Solliden Palace, the private home and summer residence of King Carl XVI Gustaf, located between the Borgholm castle ruins and Oland. It is where the Crown Princess Family, King & Queen greet the waiting crowds.

Summer Fashion

The royals stepped out in a chic coordinated summery fashion for the occasion. Early this year, Crown Princess Victoria revealed in a documentary about the royal jewels that they often talked (with the Queen and Princesses Madeleine and Sofia) about what they gonna wear, when attending a public event, so that they can always coordinate in style.

During the Solliden Palace appearance, Crown Princess Victoria wore a beautiful flowing dress - a Gardenia green floral skirt and matching top from Ida Sjostedt, she paired it with a pair of espadrilles from Maison Valentino. She finished her summery looks with dropped diamond earrings.  

Her eldest child, Princess Estelle, wore a pink cardigan and a beautiful white dress from By Malina. Her son, Prince Oscar, looked dapper in a beige suit that matched his father, Prince Daniel's attire.

Princess Madeleine stunned in an eye-catching hot pink silk maxi dress with floral print from Veronica Beard and a pair of espadrilles from Maison Valentino.
