Victoria’s choice of tiara also paid tribute to her mother.
The glamorous headpiece, made up of five loops with a diamond pendant suspended in each, has a special meaning for Queen Silvia – she chose this piece for her first public tiara appearance at her pre-wedding gala.
Princess Victoria and her husband, Prince Daniel, took their spots behind her parents for the ceremony, in which King Carl XVI Gustaf handed out prizes for physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine and economic sciences.
Also in attendance were Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, who took their spots in the front row of the audience.
Sofia, who just celebrated her 34th birthday, wore the tiara she previously wore on their wedding day in 2015 — with a twist. Although the sparkler, a gift from the King and Queen, was topped with emeralds for her walk down the aisle, Sofia has since replaced the emeralds with pearls. The mother of two completed her look with a red dress complete with statement sleeves.
