To be fair, there is so much extremely pressing international news right now that a visit by a prince from a Scandinavian country would hardly move the needle. And I think even if Victoria had come instead, Ukraine and the growing Covid numbers in Asia would push them far deep into any kind of news coverage right now.

I totally agree with you and in my comment I wanted not referring to the international coverage of this visit or Dan (I’m pretty sure most people don’t even know Sweden has a monarch) but to the Swedish coverage and that even the court does not publish anything on their website.

Daniel has been appointed honorary doctor at Karolinska Institutet https://news.cision.com/k...-at-karolinska-i,c3492094HRH Prince Daniel has had a long and active interest in public health, and over the years has worked extensively to raise awareness of the need to promote healthier lifestyles among children and teenagers, to reduce health disparities, and to support medical research and education.
Through this untiring health-related work, Prince Daniel has become a vital and visible driving force in this field, both at home and abroad. Since his focus has always been firmly fixed on evidence-based methods, his links with KI were forged early on. He is the founder and patron of En Frisk Generation (EFG – A Healthy Generation), which has been run in partnership with KI for the last ten years. EFG works to help families in deprived areas to adopt more active, healthy lifestyles, and is run in association with schools, municipalities, and local societies. The methods employed have been scientifically assayed in a controlled and published research study conducted by researchers at KI.
Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria are founders of Generation Pep, whose goal is to provide all children and teenagers better opportunities for more active and healthy lives, regardless of their background, circumstances, or abilities. Generation Pep has become a strong, credible, and unifying force in public health work in Sweden within just five years, and Prince Daniel is deeply and actively engaged in its activities. Generation Pep is currently running a large health-promotion project in which KI is an important knowledge partner, this collaboration being regulated in an agreement signed by KI and the Swedish Crown Princess Couple’s Foundation.
Prince Daniel trained as a youth recreation leader and has a background in personal training. He studied at KI between 2011-2013. He is also honorary chairperson of the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation, which annually awards grants from its Prince Daniel Grant for Promising Young Researchers fund.
The formal ceremony will take place in conjunction with a graduation ceremony to be held in Stockholm City Hall (COVID permitting) on 29th April. Dan and Vic attending the formal ceremony:

Congratulations to Daniel. I think these photos put paid to any speculation of problems in their marriage. Vic's dress was just right, IMHO. Elegant but not over the top because it is Daniel's night to shine.

It doesn't matter how old you get, buying snacks for a road trip should always look like an unsupervised 9-year-old was given $100. Anonymous

Aww look at them Vic looks so proud and congrats Dan. It reminds me on a quote from Vic from 2004 about Dan “There’re a lot of unfair things written about him. But one day, justice will probably be done there as well.” She did choose well

She does look proud but I love the look on her face, looking at him with the top hat on. She’s ready to die laughing at him! Congratulations to Daniel - the recognition is well-deserved from a well known institution.

Oh look at her! The way she looks at Dan I'm very happy I see them close again, on the contrary of what we used to see (IMO) I really hope they solved whatever their problems were! Congrats Dan!!!

I am geeking out over this because (A) I'm a big fan of Daniel and (B) Yinka Shonibare is an artist I learned about this year in teaching my Art History class!! He has some really cool works with a lot to say about race, colonization, gender roles, commercialism, etc. He does a take off on the famous Fragonard painting "The Swing." Thanks for sharing this, Lady Adelaide! I'm going to include this in next year's lecture on Shonibare!
