According to tradition, the Swedish Academy ends the year with a festive gathering at the old Stock Exchange in Gamla stan. During the evening, the old Börshuset is filled with royalty and this year will come the king, the crown princess Victoria and prince Daniel to be there.
But someone who will be missed is queen Silvia.
– The Queen has a slight cold and does not want to risk disrupting the festive gathering with a cough, says Hovet’s press manager Margaret Thorgren to The Express.
The plan is for the queen to attend the Christmas concert “Julen sings in” in the Storkyrkan in Stockholm, on Sunday, Expressen reports.
