Queen Silvia attends Mentor Fundraiser Gala Dinner
On Thursday, Queen Silvia attended the 2026 Mentor Fundraiser Gala Dinner which also marked Mentor Sweden’s 30th anniversary. Mentor was founded by Queen Silvia and works proactively to strengthen young people through mentorship and to offer more positive adult role models.
In her speech, Queen Silvia said: “This year marks 30 years since I founded Mentor Sweden. During these three decades, we have built bridges between young people and adult role models who share their time, their experiences and their commitment. Role models who show that someone sees them, believes in them and wants them to succeed. At Mentor Sweden, we reach over 50,000 young people annually through various programs and projects. That's an impressive number, and if all of us in this room join together, we can reach even more.”
Queen Silvia wore a blue jacket with a black sequin skirt. She paired the outfit with her Ciner Art Deco necklace and her Cartier and Engelbert Stockholm bracelets.
On Thursday, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa attended the Luxembourg Prize for Inclusive Finance ceremony at the European Investment Bank.
