Queen Silvia and Princess Madeleine were happy to grant Enna her life’s dream of meeting them. Enna is from Skåne, Sweden, and is suffering from a disease that makes her life extra difficult. The little girl was clearly very thrilled to be at the Royal Palace with them. Enna also presented Madeleine with a drawing she had made for her.
Madeleine said of the visit on her Facebook page, “Enna is 7 and her dream was to meet the Royal Family at the Palace. My mom and I are so blessed to be able to fulfil that dream for her today! So proud of all the work “Min Stora Dag” does. ”

Earlier this year, Princess Madeleine held a princess-themed tea party at the Royal Palace with children from Min Stora Dag. On this occasion, the children were dressed as little princesses and princes. Madeleine re-wore the dress from the Nobel Peace Prize dinner with the Swedish Aquamarine Kokoshnik tiara, much to the delight of the children in attendance. Her daughter, Princess Leonore also attended.
