Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden dressed for the Swedish late summer weather as she made a solo visit to two rural farms today.

The Swedish princess, 46, carried out the royal engagements without husband Prince Daniel, and helped harvest water reeds at the Rydboholms farm in Akersberga, in the country’s north-east. 

The mother-of-two appeared stoic in the face of recent rumours about her marriage as she greeted and fed animals – including a flock of sheep – while later visiting another farm in Vallentuna, in honour of Baltic Sea Day.

Her outing comes amid a difficult 24 hours for the Swedish royals, after her husband, 49, was forced to slam rumours of infidelity and divorce during a rare TV interview.

Showing it was very much business as usual, the down-to-earth princess got to work shovelling reeds into a tractor while meeting farm workers.

Her practical, casual get-up was perfect for a day on the farm, and featured a navy blue New York Yankees cap, which she teamed with a royal blue hooded raincoat. 

She matched her outerwear with a pair of navy blue denim jeans, alongside a turquoise plaid shirt, and black leather chunky boots.

Continuing the subtle theme, she wore minimal make-up, a natural rose lip and tied her blonde hair in a neatly styled bun.

The action-packed day continued with a stop at the Aleris rehab clinic in Solna, located just north of the capital.

For her third event of the day it was strictly business, as she revamped her look with a stylish green Zara two-piece suit.

Keeping just a touch of her original sporty theme, she topped off the look with a white t shirt and green Adidas trainers. She also donned a grey suede Stella McCartney clutch bag to match.

While her hairstyle remained the same, she glammed up the look with a dewy base, natural lip and a smidgeon of mascara.

The chummy princess perked up at the sight of clinic staff and patients, as she was photographed engaging in crucial talks during the official visit. 

On Tuesday, Crown Princess Victoria’s husband Prince Daniel, 49, denied rumours of infidelity and divorce during a rare TV interview.

Earlier this week, husband Prince Daniel decided to address front and centre the rumours that have dogged the couple’s personal circumstances in recent weeks.

In a television interview, the prince hit back at what he labelled a ‘mean and false rumour’ about his marriage to Sweden’s heiress apparent and further denied the couple had ever been on the brink of divorce.

He lashed out at those circulating the suggestions on social media and in parts of the Swedish press, saying the claims had had ‘serious consequences’ for his family.

‘Many friends from across Sweden and overseas have got in touch and things arrived at a certain point where we felt we could no longer accept it,’ he revealed.

‘I don’t think there is any sane person who believes in this rumour.’

The comments were made in a sit-down with SVT ahead of the future King Consort’s 50th birthday in September.

It is not the first time the royal Swedish household has had to deny divorce rumours in recent times.

The couple shared a picture on their official Instagram account in February last year, where they stood shoulder-to-shoulder denying yet another divorce rumour.

‘It has come to our knowledge that there is an extensive negative rumor spread regarding our private relationship,’ the post accompanying the snap said.

‘Allegations are spreading about betrayal in the relationship and an impending divorce.

‘In normal cases, we do not comment on rumors and speculation. But in order to protect our family, we want to make it clear, once and for all, that the rumors that are now spreading are completely unfounded.’

Just a few weeks before that, the chief communication officer of the Swedish royal house, Margareta Thorgren, had already denied the rumours in a statement.

Speaking to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet on 19 February 2022, she said that normally, the palace would not comment on such matters, but that the rumours had been ‘tenacious’ enough to impact the royal family.

‘This is exceptional, and we have not encountered this before,’ Thorgren said.

Publication Expressen claimed they were tipped off that the couple would file for divorce at the Solna District Court, however, they said that information proved to be incorrect.

Margareta said the rumours were born from a ‘frivolous’ publication, thought to be the tabloid magazine Stoppa Pressarna (Stop the Press in English) and that the mainstream Swedish media fact-checked the claims after they were heavily circulated online.

Victoria and Daniel, who share two children, Princess Estelle, 11, and Prince Oscar, seven, celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary this year.

Previously a gym owner, Daniel, who was born Olof Daniel Westling, met Victoria at a training session before the pair began dating in 2002.

The couple announced their highly-anticipated engagement in 2009 and tied the knot a year later.
