The number of years that King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden have been married. The royal couple celebrated their ruby anniversary on June 19th privately although they did give interviews to magazines speaking about family life. Silvia Sommerlath became Queen of Sweden on her wedding day in 1976. Thirty four years later, she watched her eldest daughter marry on the same date - Victoria and Daniel celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on June 19th.
The year royal regalia were acquired in Norway for coronation of King Carl Johan who paid for the crown himself. The original pieces, used from the 12th century onwards, had been lost in 1537 during the Reformation. This week, Harald V posed next to the coronation pieces with his heir, Crown Prince Haakon Magnus, and his heir, Princess Ingrid Alexandra in a new portrait to mark the 25th anniversary of the blessing of the King of Norway's reign at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. The Norwegian Royal Family spent the anniversary date in the city.
