Afterward, the Royal Family and the Laureates moved to the Ballroom. There, they greeted other guests from the Riksdag, the government, the diplomatic corps, academies, research and science, and the Nobel Foundation among others.


The official dinner was then served in Karl XI's gallery with each member of the Royal Family sitting between Nobel Laureates.

Queen Silvia wore the gown she first wore at Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia’s wedding in 2015 with her Judith Leiber clutch. She paired the outfit with the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara and Parure.
