The Funeral Princess Désirée Will Get

Princess Désirée of Sweden's funeral will take place on February 19, with a service held at the church of Stockholm Palace.

The funeral of Princess Désirée of Sweden is scheduled for February 19, as reported by Svensk Damtidning. The royal family will bid farewell to the late princess in a service that will be attended by family members and special guests at the church of Stockholm Palace. Following the ceremony, attendees will gather at Haga Palace, the childhood home of the princess, to reminisce about her life and legacy.

During the funeral, flags at Stockholm Royal Palace will be flown at half-mast, alongside those at Drottningholm, Haga, the Royal Stables, and Villa Solbacken, a decision made by the king. Unlike Princess Birgitta, who was buried at Haga Royal Cemetery, Princess Désirée will be laid to rest near her home at Koberg Castle in Västergötland, where she lived for over 60 years. The court has announced that the burial will be organized later at Koberg.

Princess Désirée was a member and commander of the Order of the Seraphim, an honor bestowed by the monarchy. Her passing marks a significant moment for the Swedish royal family and highlights the continuing traditions surrounding royal funerals and memorials, reflecting the family's commitment to honoring their members in a respectful and dignified manner.
