Ever wondered what the house of Prince and Princess looks like? Well the Swedish Court have just revealed pictures of Prince Daniel, Crown Princess Victoria, and Princess Estelle’s house.
Welcome home to Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel and Princess Estelle in Haga Palace!
Crown Princess Victoria recycled this gorgeous purple dress in the Netherlands last week (lots of recycling going around by the ladies). She first wore it to the Nobel Prize Ceremony in 2009. She has also worn it for an Official Portrait.

Omg, Estelle’s face! I just love her.
Estelle give me life with those facial expressions

.Sashes/Ribbons
Sashes (also called Ribbons) are the main part of the Royal Orders. They are worn either across the left shoulder to the right hip, or from the right shoulder to the left hip. Which shoulder they’re worn on is entirely dependent on the country. The colors are also determined by the makers of the Orders.
The Danish Order of the Elephant (seen above being worn by Crown Princess Mary of Denmark) is worn across the left shoulder to the right hip and is a light blue color. The Swedish Order of the Seraphim (seen above being worn by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden) is worn from the right shoulder to the left hip and is also a light blue color.
The differences in the orders, should you wish to tell them apart, is not only in which way they’re worn, but also the badge and star. The badge is the part that hangs from the bottom of the sash. For the Order of the Elephant, there’s an elephant. The star is typically always worn on the left side, under the breast.
Most orders are typically worn from the right shoulder to the left hip. Some that are worn on the left, besides the Order of the Elephant, include the Iceland Order of the Falcon (as seen being worn by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden), the Thai Order of the Royal House of Chakri (as seen being worn by Empress Farah Pahlavi of Iran), and the Malay Order of the Crown of the Realm (as seen being worn by Empress Farah Pahlavi of Iran).
