Royals in Norway and Sweden have marked one of the most
cherished Advent days.
In Norway, the Royal House shared a video on their Instagram of
the Bolteløkka girls choir, dressed as St Lucia, in the halls of
the Royal Palace. The girls wore white dresses with a red belt;
each had a crown of candles on their head to portray St Lucia as
they sang.
The Swedish Royal House
shared two St Lucia posts on Instagram. The first was a photo of
Princess Estelle (dressed as Lucia) and Prince Oscar wishing
everyone well on the festive day. Estelle is also seen holding
sweet treats for the celebration.
The second video was similar
to their Norwegian counterparts. A video of students from the music
school Lilla Academy in the Royal Chapel of Stockholm Palace was
shared. Students were dressed as St Lucia singing as they walked
down the aisle.
