How long have royal christenings taken place at Drottingholm Palace?

The Royal Palace in Stockholm has also been used many times. Both Palaces date from the 18th century, though Drottingholm is actually older, and my guess is that until the Stockholm palace ceased being used as a royal residence the vast majority of royal christenings took place there, with weddings and funerals generally being held at the cathedral in the capital in more modern times. Below is an article on christenings in the Swedish royal family.

Sweden?s royals follow Dutch and confirm same sex marriage is no bar to the throne ? Royal Central

Quote

A future monarch or heir to the throne in Sweden wouldn?t have to give up their royal role if they were to contract a same sex marriage.

The Marshall of the Realm confirmed that a same sex union would not be a bar to succession, just days after the Dutch Prime Minister issued a statement along similar lines.

Aftonbladet newspaper reported that Marshal Fredrik Wers?ll had looked at the rules surrounding royal marriage which stipulate that a prince or princess must have the government?s consent to marry if they are to retain their place in the line of succession. He has concluded that a same sex marriage would not be treated any differently and would only require the consent of the government, at the request of the monarch.

His decision follows an announcement by Mark Rutte who said last week that a future Dutch monarch or heir could enter into a same sex union. His comments came after a new book asked whether the current first in line to the throne, Princess Catharina-Amalia, could become queen if she married another woman. Mark Rutte said ??The government believes that the heir can also marry a person of the same sex.? He also addressed the succession status of children born to a same sex royal couple, saying ?it?s just very dependent on the facts and circumstances of the specific case, as you can see by looking back at how family law can change over time.?

Same sex marriage is now legal in most of the European countries which still retain monarchies. However, so far, only the Netherlands and Sweden have openly stated that same sex marriage would not be a bar to the throne or succession rights.

Family drama after beloved royal dog escapes from royal palace ? Royal Central

QuoteMost royal watchers will be familiar with Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden and their three children. But Siri, the family?s small border terrier, might be a less familiar member of the family. There was mild family drama last week when the family?s beloved dog managed to escape ? and not for the first time.

Prince Carl Philip has previously described Siri as a free soul who is not always so easy to control. The four-legged friend has managed to escape from their residence several times before.

This time, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports that a 20-year-old woman called Angelina found the dog during a walk with her friend at Djurg?rden in Stockholm last week. Angelina says that the border terrier was very calm and seemed to feel at home in the area. There was a phone number on the dog?s collar but no one answered when she and her friend called.

Her friend suggested that it might be the prince?s dog as they live nearby and chose to take the chance to knock on the door to ask if it was Carl Philip and the family?s dog. They were indeed correct. The prince himself came to the door with one of his sons to thank Angelina and her friend.
