This comes as Queen Silvia attended the 2024 Nobel Prize King’s Dinner alongside her husband, King Carl Gustav XVI, last week.

Silvia appears to be gradually recovering after the palace announced last month that she was suffering from a “serious respiratory infection”, which led to her missing a state visit to Singapore.
The Swedish royal couple had planned to visit the island country from November 19 to 21, but only King Carl Gustav attended.
Queen Silvia was seated next to chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis (pictured) at dinner last week.
The full statement was shared on the Royal Household website and read: “Due to a serious respiratory infection, HM The Queen has decided not to accompany HM The King on the State Visit to Singapore from 19 to 21 November.
‘The Queen was looking forward to visiting Singapore and regrets not being able to accompany the King on the trip.
“However, out of consideration for the Singapore hosts and the rest of the state visit delegation, the Queen decides to remain in Sweden so as not to risk exposing others to infection.”
“The different parts of the program of the state visit planned by Her Majesty will be carried out by the Secretary of State and the First Lady of the Court who will accompany her.”
