The government has taken the initiative for this visit to strengthen the relationship between Sweden and Great Britain. Defense Minister Paul Johnson and Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlsson are also on the trip, as well as representatives of Swedish companies in sectors such as defence, security and transport and medical technology.
A busy schedule awaits the Crown Princess couple in Great Britain. It starts on Wednesday morning, when they, along with Paul Johnson, will meet Ukrainian players training in Great Britain.
A meeting with Prince William and Princess Kate is scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Windsor Castle. The two heirs to the throne will then discuss, among other things, recent events in their respective countries.

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince William’s relationship
Crown Princess Victoria and Prince William are distantly related to each other through Queen Victoria of Great Britain and even know each other personally after seeing each other a lot over the years.
According to Johan Degel, they will also talk about some personal matters.
– There are also family ties in this matter, so it is certain that you will also discuss some issues of a personal family nature, says Johan Degel.
– The two heirs to the throne know each other well and have met several times, both officially and privately.
The Crown Princess couple will join Prince William and Princess Kate at the Royal Albert Hall concert hall in London on Thursday evening. The gala is held in aid of British cultural and entertainment practitioners and is televised in the UK.
Official visit
It is the Crown Princess couple, not the royal couple, who are visiting Great Britain because it is called an official visit and not a state visit.
During state visits, they meet their respective heads of state, namely King Carl Gustaf and King Charles, so in this case the heirs to the throne.
Advent Coffee with the Swedish Colony
Advent begins on Sunday and the visit to Great Britain ends adequately on Friday afternoon when Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel have Advent coffee with residents of the Swedish colony at the Church of Sweden in London.
– Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel are looking forward to visiting Great Britain, says Johan Degel.
