April 29, 2016 at 10:24 am by MarengoWhile 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.

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:
