Earlier the whole family had been at a special dinner to mark the event hosted by the government including Princess Madeleine showing the first hints of pregnancy.  The Prime Minister gave a speech to mark the occasion and then it was off to the concert, being hosted by parliament.  And then everyone's up nice and early tomorrow for a thanksgiving service at the Royal Chapel in the Royal Palace before the party really gets started.
