The celebrations of this fantastic festive week:

From Japan:

HIH Crown Prince Naruhito

Poor one. Without Masako. I feel so bad for the two. It´s unbelievable, how big was or is the pressure. It was so ludicrous how the brother of Naruhito presents his son: "See, I can beget a son. So, why I am not the crown prince?". In this court there are so many of this people. One prince, an older one, wants the concubinage back, and few freedom for the female members. Hello? We are in the 21st century.

The Arms of HRH Prince Daniel of Sweden,Duke of Västergotland as of saturday june the 19th 2010.

Thanks, Lucien, very interesting!
Explanation of the arms:
1. and 4. quarters: The lesser arms of the Kingdom of Sweden. (The three crowns, tre kronor, which originally was the symbol of the Kalmar Union.)
2. quarter: The lion of the medieval Folkung dynasty, which features in the great arms of the Kingdom of Sweden.
3. quarter: The provincial arms of Västergötland.
Inescutcheon: The brand new Westling arms, a modification of the arms of Daniel's home municipality of Ockelbo, featuring a fir-twigged line of partition (symbolizing forestry, the original is fir-tree-topped) and a hammer symbolizing iron industry.

While the Westling arms are cool in the way they allude to such fundamental Swedish industries as forestry and iron industry (and Daniel's grandfather even worked as a lumberjack!), I think they are a bit unimaginative. And I would so have liked to see the shield divided in three, with the ducal arms at the bottom and no double featuring of the three crowns, like the custom was in former reigns. I think that custom was cooler, as it made the arms more individual and symmetrical.

So nice to see that at least a few of Sweden's obscure, but plentiful nobles will take part in a prominent position:

Ian de Geer,8,son of Tina and Hans de Geer,grandson of HRH Princess Désirée,aunt of the Crown Princess

The boys are actually Barons de Geer af Finspång, one of the most renowned names in the Swedish nobility. In Sweden the originally Belgian name is pronounced /də jɛ:r/.

Of course it would have been nicest if 10 countesses had carried Victoria's train, 10 baronesses had strewn flowers, pageboys of impeccable noble pedigree had escorted them etc., but I guess it's all about för Sverige - i tiden.
