ABBA Honored with Prestigious Swedish Knighthood

The iconic pop group receives the Royal Order of Vasa for their outstanding contributions to music.

ABBA members were awarded the Royal Order of Vasa by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
This marks the first time since 1974 that the order has been given to Swedish citizens.
ABBA's career took off after winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Waterloo.'
The group's music has sold hundreds of millions of records and inspired the 'Mamma Mia!' musical and films.
The ceremony included other notable recipients, such as Nobel Prize winners Anne L’Huillier and Svante Pääbo.
