Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden takes her Cavapoo Rio to World Wildlife Fund meeting
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden beamed Thursday morning as she attended a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) event in Stockholm with her dog Rio in tow.
The 46-year-old royal, who boarded a ferry to visit Nämdöskärgården National Park on the Nämdö archipelago, was dressed casually in a purple parka jacket, fitted green trousers and a pair of black hiking boots.
Once inside for the annual meeting of the WWF, an organization founded to protect nature and the environment, she took off her jacket to reveal a cream-colored silk shirt that she wore open at the neck.
Despite her plain appearance, mother-of-two Victoria looked elegant with her hair combed back in a neat chignon.
Cavapoo Rio, a mix between a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and a poodle, seemed content as he sat down next to Victoria’s chair.

Carrying a leather crossbody bag and a navy blue New York Yankees cap, the relaxed Crown Princess smiled as she walked around Rio greeting locals.
As a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, Victoria has long been committed to causes such as sustainability and climate action.
When she opened the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest earlier this month with a surprising video clip, the versatile Victoria stunned in a light pink power suit.
During the final on Saturday, May 11, she opened the ceremony with a pre-recorded speech to hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.
The royal seemed to follow in the footsteps of the Princess of Wales, who opened the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool last year with a moving piano performance in tribute to Ukraine.
‘Good evening, it is my great honor to welcome you all to Sweden. I hope you will enjoy the show and I wish all the participants the best of luck,” said Princess Victoria.
The royal looked chic in a pale pink suit, which she paired with a white blouse and stilettos in the short clip.
It seemed as if she was standing in one of the most important rooms of the palace, with lavish decorations and a large bouquet of flowers visible behind her.

Her speech comes after Kate Middleton opened the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with a piano performance in tribute to Ukraine.
Kate played piano alongside 2022 Ukrainian winners the Kalush Orchestra in a stunning opening scene ahead of the grand final.
In 2023, Liverpool hosted the match on behalf of war-torn Ukraine, with fans across the UK proudly showing their support for the country.
Royal fans raved about Kate’s surprise performance, which was recorded in the Crimson Drawing Room at Windsor Castle and was a closely guarded palace secret.
