Look Back: King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 60th Birthday






April 29, 2016 at 10:24 am by Marengo

While we already took a look at the king’s 40th and 50th birthdays, we still have one to go: his 60th. Fortunately the internet, the online royalty-watching community and TRF were already around in 2006. So if you want to know all the details, see all the photos and read all the verdicts about the dresses and jewels, you will enjoythis TRF-thread … all 31 pages of it. If not: don’t panic, the highlights will be included in this post.

On saturday 29 April the main celebrations started with a private dinner at Drottningholm Palace.

Since the Swedish king an his family were already inside the palace, there were no pictures of them at this event. Fortunately princess Lilian and the future prince Daniel did walk the red carpet:

Queen Sonja of Norway, King Harald V of Norway, Princess Astrid of Norway, Prince Haakon of Norway, Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and two unidentified guests arrive for H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf?s private dinner to celebrate his 60th Birthday at Drottningholm Palace on April 29, 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden.
