At the grand banquet, members of Sweden’s long circle of royal relatives and other society figures mingled with the intellectual powerhouses of world studies.

Nobel laureates, arguably more accustomed to laboratories and libraries, eagerly attended Monday night’s gala dinner. The assembly halls of Vita Havet were the setting for the reception, while dinner was served at a huge banquet table in the gallery of Charles XI. .
The Nobel Prize ceremony has been held in Sweden on 10 December since its conception in 1901, and as such is a great mark of pride for the nation. Each recipient is decked out in a Nobel medal as well as a hand-painted certificate, handed over by HRM Carl Gustaf. Prizes are awarded in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and economics (which was added in 1969). Strangely, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Norway, rather than Sweden, though nobody quite knows why. The Crown Princess Victoria donned a dramatic deep purple, one-shouldered gown for the events of the 10 December, whilst Queen Silvia went for a dusty-pink silk ensemble.

Then, the night following the ceremony, the “King’s Dinner” took place, held at the King’s Palace in the capital. The Royal Palace in Stockholm stands out for its scale, both in length and spectacle. It is located on the seafront of Gamla. Stan, next to the Riksdag building. This site has been the central apartment of the Swedish royal family since the mid-13th century, when Tre Konor Castle was built there. It consists of 1,430 rooms, decorated in lush Rococo splendor.
The Vita Havet meeting rooms are a melting pot of gilded and ancient excellence and history, providing the ultimate setting for honorees and royalty to mingle before dinner. There are striking marble consoles, carefully carved glass chandeliers, and ornate frescoes on the ceilings. He then headed to the Carlos XI Gallery to enjoy a menu of rooster liver parfait, fried turbot, royal game deer chair and winter apple pie.

The king and queen wore, as always, delightfully majestic dresses. King Carl Gustaf, who played his honorary role in presenting the awards at the ceremony, wore a white tie and all the royal regalia. Queen Silvia has chosen her favourite set of jewellery: the sumptuous Leuchtenberg sapphires. These come with a tiara and a set of matching sapphire and diamond jewelry. Arriving in Sweden, when Princess Josephine of Leuchtenberg married Crown Prince Oscar of Sweden in 1844, the jewels were given to Josephine through Empress Josephine, Napoleon Bonaparte’s first wife, as a gift to her mother to celebrate the birth of a son in 1811.

Fresh from a trip to London, where she enjoyed a trip to the Royal Variety Show with her counterparts the Prince and Princess of Wales, Crown Princess Victoria, the eldest child of King Carl Gustaf, looked in high spirits. She arrived in a staggering, monochrome ensemble, reminiscent of a Klimt painting. Her dress incorporated a full black skirt with a white floral appliqué and was cinched at the waist, with a white bodice and capped sleeves. The look was crowned with the Connaught Diamond Tiara, which was gifted to Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden from her parents in 1905. The tiara is now more casually referred to as ‘Princess Sibylla’s Tiara’, as it was favoured by the King’s mother. The royal women wore the sash and star of the Order of the Seraphim and the King’s Royal Family Order over their ball gowns.

At dinner the previous night in the Concert Hall, Crown Princess Victoria sat between Pierre Agostini, recipient of the prize in physics and Moungi Bawendi, prizewinner in chemistry. Plenty of firepower, then! But were they reasonable conversationalists? You’ll have to ask Crown Princess Victoria. She seemed to enjoy herself, laughing the night away as she enjoyed dinner with the two scientists. One of three joint winners of the physics prize, Agostini received the award for ‘experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter’ – ah yes, I’m sure you are familiar.
Moungi Bawendi and Crown Princess Victoria smile at the Nobel Prize dinner at the concert hall on Sunday, ahead of the King’s Rite on Monday.
Also in attendance were Crown Princess Victoria’s husband, Crown Prince Daniel, who looked dapper and the longtime king consort in a white tie. In London, Daniel and Victoria enjoyed trips to ancient destinations such as Kew Gardens and the Natural History Museum, as well as a classic English watering hole in Newmarket, a long way from the palace last night.

While the dinner is a great benefit to the Nobel laureates, the banquet is a small gesture of gratitude by the Swedish royal family for the great successes the prizes have achieved this year.
