Happy Anniversary to Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson, who got married on this day in 1974. The wedding of the youngest of the four elder sisters of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden was one of the first grand events of his reign. Princess Christina, who lost her style of Royal Highness as a result of her marriage, was the hostess for her brother in the initial years of his reign, before his marriage in 1976. Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson have three sons and are still happily married, though Princess Christina was diagnosed with chronic leukemia last year. I wish the couple a very Happy Anniversary and a speedy recovery for the Princess! Take a look at scenes from their wedding below-

The wedding ceremony took place at the Royal Chapel of the Royal Palace in Stockholm in the presence of the Swedish royal family, foreign royals, and dignitaries. Afterwards, the bride, groom, and her brother, the King, waved to crowds from the balcony of the Royal Palace. Princess Christina wore a Märtaskolan white silk crepe gown with Queen Sofia’s lace veil and the Connaught Tiara.
