The Queen of Sweden received the President of Finland with a marked red eye.

On Tuesday, the Swedish royal family hosted the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, and his wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb.

However, it was Queen Silvia’s appearance that stole the spotlight. Photos from the visit show that the queen had a bright red eye.

To Expressen, the court’s head of information explains that the queen’s state of health is due to her getting cold air in her eye.

– Otherwise, her state of health is good, writes Margareta Thorgren in an SMS to the newspaper and continues:

– Cold drafts can be particularly noticeable in colder months when the temperature difference between outside and inside is large.

Get kudos

Despite the eye condition, the Swedish queen attended the entire ceremony with a smile on her face.

– I think the queen is cool who carries it out despite a rather unsightly eye. She knows that it will become a topic of conversation, and that the pictures will be spread around the world, says Caroline Vagle to Dagbladet.

She is a royal house expert in Se og Hør.

Burst blood vessels in the islands are usually completely harmless, and do not require any treatment to go away on their own. The condition usually goes away within one to two weeks, according to NHI.

In 2022, it was a ball for the Swedish king on National Day – see video:
