Hovi published a photo of the Finnish presidential couple as the subject of a rare tribute

the king of Sweden Karle XVI Gustav The 50th anniversary celebration will be celebrated until Saturday. Friday’s program has so far included a thanksgiving service in the church of the royal palace and a greeting from the royal family from the palace balcony.

On Thursday evening, the Finnish presidential couple was also seen in the concert hall Sauli Niinistö and Jenni Haukio. The couple even got to sit in the front seats of the concert hall with other royals. This is a huge tribute to Finland.

Niinistö and Haukio were also seen on the balcony of the Royal Palace in Stockholm, where the heads of state of all the Nordic countries were with their spouses.

Earlier, it was said that the Swedish court wanted to emphasize the community of the Nordic countries during the event. This is also believed to be the reason why, for example, the Finnish presidential couple got the places of honor. Professor of European history at the University of Helsinki Laura Kolbe said earlier that the Nordic united front is an important observation from the event.

– Probably a well-thought-out solution, no doubt. The North and Nordic values ​​are important. It is good to build social, political and cultural community based on them, says Kolbe.

A royal writer Sanna-Mari Hovi stated that he paid attention to the emphasis on the Nordic countries already when the party’s guest list was announced. There were no royals outside of the courts of Sweden, Norway and Denmark who were invited. Hovi does not remember that in the past, presidents of other countries or anyone outside the royal family’s close circle had been invited to royal balcony parties.

– Maybe we wanted to emphasize that we are a united team, even in Europe we have our own here on the sidelines. We value royal and republican leaders as spiritual leaders.
