With a slimmed-down 2020 National Day ahead, we are taking a look at previous National Day celebrations in Sweden with the Royal Family.
The females in the family always dress in the traditional Swedish dress and the family rides in carriages to Skansen for a concert. They later host a reception at the Royal Palace, which is officially opened for the summer by a member of the family earlier in the day. The King and Queen and Crown Princess Couple also attend other ceremonies throughout the morning to mark the holiday with the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel usually attending a citizenship ceremony.
This year, the concert at Skansen and the reception have been cancelled, and the other events are still up in the air due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Let’s take a look at what a normal National Day has looked like over the years:
