German State Visit to Sweden - Day 2
Today, the German President and First Lady spent their second day in Stockholm with King Carl-Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
The Royal couple first welcomed the Presidential couple at Drottningholm Palace, their permanent residence, where the Presidential couple learned more about the history of the castle.
Then, they visited the castle’s theater which was built in 1766 and is today the world's only 18th-century theater that still uses the original stage machinery.
The Royal couple and the Presidential couple were joined by Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl-Philip, and Princess Sofia for an official lunch hosted by the City of Stockholm.
In the afternoon, while King Carl-Gustaf and the German President had a separate agenda, Queen Silvia and the First Lady visited Silviahemmet which was founded by Queen Silvia in 1996 and which works with the aim that people living with dementia and their relatives should be given the highest possible quality of life.
The Queen and the First Lady then visited the German school in Stockholm which was founded over 400 years ago and is the second oldest German school in the world outside Germany.
The final stop for Queen Silvia and the First Lady was a panel discussion at the Goethe-Institut, arranged by the Swedish Institute, on the language exchange between Sweden and Germany and how language studies can be encouraged.
