Queen Silvia’s birthday
23 December 2024
Silvia Renate, Queen of Sweden, was born on 23 December 1943 in Germany.
King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia married in 1976. At the time royal weddings that included non-nobility were highly unusual, and Queen Silvia has since modernised the position of queen so that it is in step with the times. She has taken strong initiatives to pursue several social issues close to her heart, in particular children’s rights.
