Queen Silvia of Sweden and her husband King Carl Gustaf are pictured with the baby Crown Princess Victoria in this archive photo.

The photo was taken against the background of a modest Christmas tree decorated with toys.

Silvia in a red dress and with a low bun on her head holds Victoria in her arms.

The princess is wearing a white dress and is standing barefoot.

And her father the king says something to her at this moment and touches his daughter with his hand, and she smiles in response.

And this picture shows Queen Silvia with her grown-up daughter Victoria.

As you can see, over the years, the queen's love for red dresses has not faded.
