Sweden's royal family were reunited in Stockholm today for an event held in honour of the queen's upcoming 75th birthday.
Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf were joined by their three children - one of whom jetted in from the States for the occasion - and their partners for a seminar at Oscar Theatre on Tuesday.
Crown Princess Victoria, 41, looked elegant in a patterned floral number while her sister-in-law Princess Sofia, 34, dazzled in a crimson midi dress that was cinched in at the waist.
Princess Madeleine, 36, stunned in a £1,260 Alexandra floral matelassé dress from British label Erdem, a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge.
The birthday queen, meanwhile, looked remarkably youthful in a fuschia buttoned skirt suit teamed with a glittering brooch.

Today's seminar, for guests invited by the Queen, focused on issues close to the royal's heart including children’s rights, dementia care, and drug prevention.
It was announced earlier this year as part of the consort's ongoing birthday celebrations, which will include a reception at the Royal Palace on Wednesday and conclude on the big day itself - the 23rd December.

Silvia has also taken part in a series of documentaries to mark her 75th birthday, and during a rare interview this week she admitted it was 'a big shock' to learn of her father's Nazi links following his death in 1990.
She discovered in 2002 that her late father, Walther Sommerlath, became a member of the Nazi party during the 1930s and spoke about the impact it had on her family.
According to Royal Central, she told Drottning Silvia 75 år [Queen Silvia at 75] that she didn't believe the revelations at first but 'when I got to see the evidence in black and white, I had to accept it'.
She added: 'I’m not trying to detract from the fact that he had become a member. But you may have to think "Why did he do it?"

'He and many others did not know what would happen after. Had he known, I don’t believe he would have become a member.'
When Silvia married into the Swedish monarchy in 1976, her German father denied he had ever been a member of the Nazi party. It later emerged that he had joined the movement in 1934.
Queen Silvia admitted this week that she has since carried out extensive research in a bid to understand more about her father's involvement with the NSDAP since the scandal was exposed in a Swedish newspaper in 2002.
Eight years later, in 2010, the revelations about Sommerlath - who was living in Brazil at the time he joined the party and only returned to Germany on the eve of war - plunged the royal family into crisis.

Sweden's future Queen Silvia Sommerlath holds her father's hand in a childhood photo. Revelations about Sommerlath - who was living in Brazil at the time he joined the Nazi party and only returned to Germany on the eve of war - plunged the royal family into crisis in 2010
But in 2011, a fresh report claimed that although Sommerlath belonged to the NSDAP Nazi party, he appeared to have been an inactive member and had even helped a Jewish businessman escape the Holocaust.
Sommerlath resettled in Berlin and on 24 May 1939 he took over the company Wechsler & Hennig.
According to Royal Central, Queen Silvia discovered in her research that her father had in fact helped Jewish Ernst Wechsler, a Jewish man, to flee Germany by trading his coffee plantation in Brazil for ownership of the firm.
Queen Silvia added: 'It’s been 30 years since he died so now I think it is enough. I want to say to the Swedish people that I am at ease with it. I know that my dad is not the person that people have created him to be.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
