Golden Jubilee of Carl XVI Gustaf

During the spring of 2022, the Royal Court of Sweden launched a competition, aimed at students in graphic design, to come up with a symbol for the Jubilee year.

The photograph taken by Thron Ullberg in the Hall of State at Stockholm Palace shows the King in front of Queen Christina's silver throne wearing an admiral's uniform.

The National Day celebration at Skansen were more extensive to mark the jubilee but included the traditional elements such as the royal procession, the flag raising, the Kings speech and the concert.

In the evening, the King hosted a grand National Day reception for representatives of Sweden and the diplomatic corps of some countries around the world at the Nordic Museum.

After the service in the Palace church, the Stockholm Amphibious Regiment fired a gun salute at 12:00 local time from Skeppsholmen.

After the changing of the guard, the Royal Academy of Music organized, in collaboration with Sjungande Barn, a singer's tribute to HM the King.

During the speech the King said that he wanted to continue to serve Sweden and finished by saying his royal motto: For Sweden-With the times[7] An anniversary banquet was later held in Rikssalen at the Palace.

This historical journey will encompass the establishment of a Swedish central government, the Age of Greatness, academies, parliamentary power, international influences, art collections, and a commitment to the environment.

[14] Klintberg also created the documentary series Kungen och jag, which aired in three episodes on SVT starting on September 3.
