30th Birthday Bash for Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden

What does the crown princess of Sweden receive for her 30th birthday on July 14th? Well, much to her delight, Crown Princess Victoria was the recipient of a lion tamarin and a flat screen television. The endangered animal resides at Skansen zoo and a plaque mentions the royal connection. As for the flat screen tv, it will be used in her office at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Amongst her many other gifts, she accepted a donation from Täby Racecourse which was deposited into the Crown Princess Victoria fund.

Other events for the birthday milestone included a family service at the royal palace; a salute fired from Skeppsholmen and a demonstration from the military guard of honour. The festivities concluded in Öland.

In a recent interview, the princess stated that she felt "more secure and calm" than she did a few years ago. This is the second time that her birthday has sparked a major celebration. The last time was for her 18th birthday.
