Prince Daniel Cancels Public Engagements After Falling Ill

The palace says he is recovering at home as Crown Princess Victoria continues this week’s trips and events alone.

Overview

  • The palace updated its official calendar on Wednesday, October 14, and removed Prince Daniel from the WASP Academia and Industry Days and the two-day visit to Västernorrlands län.
  • Palace spokespeople confirmed the prince is suffering from a cold and that he had already missed appointments in Stockholm earlier this week on October 12 and 13.
  • The court framed the absences as a precaution to protect scheduled interlocutors and said Daniel will stay home to recover.
  • Crown Princess Victoria is carrying out the planned provincial visits to Härnösand and the Rotsidan nature area without her husband.
  • The palace has given no timetable for his return and noted Daniel’s 2009 kidney transplant as a reason for extra caution, so observers will watch for further calendar updates.
