Christmas Eve morning in Stockholm featured a heartfelt royal visit to Södersjukhuset. The crown princess family arrived at the neonatal department of Sachsska Children's and Youth Hospital, where they met nurses, nursing assistants, and doctors. The purpose was to express gratitude to those working holidays in healthcare and share Christmas greetings, according to the court's information.
During the visit, the family engaged in conversations and a coffee break with the staff, captured in images showing a warm atmosphere.
