This year’s National Day also marks the 500th anniversary of the election of King Gustav I in 1523 which meant the definitive end of the Kalmar Union and the country entering a new era that would shape the Swedish nation-state.

The Crown Princess Family also visited the '1523–1973–2023 - Vasa to Bernadotte' exhibition at the Royal Palace.

The Crown Princess Family visited the exhibition „1523–1973–2023 - Vasa to Bernadotte“ at the Royal Palace.

„Look Oscar, the regent list, starting with Gustav Vasa in 1523. In 1973 grandfather became king. And now we are going to see an exhibition about these 500 years.“
