Grief at the Swedish Royal Court! Member of the Royal Family passed away, Victoria and the family are hit hard! Here are all the details:
For the family of King Carl Gustaf, 78, and Queen Silvia, 81, there is a somber mood, as the younger sister of the monarch, who has passed away unexpectedly, would have been celebrating her 88th birthday. A reason enough for Queen Silvia, King Carl Gustaf, and the rest of the family to mourn together. In times of sorrow, the Swedish royal family becomes even closer. Particularly Victoria seems deeply affected, more on this here:
This became clear on December 15th, the day of Birgitta's funeral. Princess Victoria, 47, who had a particularly close relationship with her aunt, appeared side by side with her husband Prince Daniel (51) and her siblings Princess Madeleine (42) and Prince Carl Philip (45) and their partners at the funeral. Madeleine found comfort in her husband Chris O'Neill, 50, while Victoria, who couldn't hold back her tears, sought support from Daniel. The royal couple also held each other tightly to support each other in these difficult moments.
