Crown Princess Victoria looked radiant in traditional Swedish dress as she joined King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia to award the Islander of the Year prize.
The mother-of-two, 45, who is the daughter of the King and Queen, presented the annual award to Bitte Börjesson at Solliden on the island of Öland on Friday.
She and Queen Silvia were both in traditional dress, while King Carl Gustaf, 77, opted for a casual tan-coloured suit jacket and dark trousers.
Victoria donned a red and gold skirt, decorated with blue and white embroidery around edge, and paired with a royal blue waist coat and white blouse.
She also wore a traditional white headdress and an embroidered shrug around her shoulders, tying together the classic Swedish outfit for the occasion.

Her mother Silvia, 79, was dressed similarly, though had more of her brunette locks showing through her headpiece.
Both royals carried bouquets of flowers throughout the ceremony.
Islander of the Year was awarded for the first time in 1980, to recognise a member of the public who has made an extraordinary contribution to their community in Öland.
The island and province is the second largest in Sweden, just off the southeast coast of the mainland.
This year, Ms Börjesson was handed the prize for her commitment and engagement with local associations. It was said that she ‘has created the conditions for generations of youths on the island Öland to find a passion for sports’.
The Crown Princess herself was awarded the prize in 2018, and King Carl Gustaf was named Islander of the Year in 1996.
This latest outing comes days after Victoria unveiled the ‘Lovers on the Rock’ statue by Swedish artist and illustrator Stina Persson in Stockholm.

Her brunette locks were tamed by a tightly pinned bun, while a few strands of her hair feel loosely on her forehead.
For an extra touch of glamour, she opted for a dazzling pair of leaf drop down earrings, gorgeously decorated with a hint of blue.
Three gold bracelets and a silver wristwatch were the final touches to the glamorous look.
