On March 12 the Swedish Royals not only celebrate Victoria's name day but back in 1976 the young Swedish King announced his engagement to the lovely Silvia Sommerlath, who proved to be a great asset to the Royal Family, on that very day 
Some pics here, all scanned from Swedish postcards 
This is part of the official Thank You card
