William and Kate Meet Sweden's Royals
After a morning of playing hockey, Kate Middleton and Prince William headed to the royal palace of Stockholm, where the Swedish royal family hosted them for a luncheon.
They snapped a photo with Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, their daughter Crown Princess Victoria (the heir to the throne), and her husband, Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland.
About fifteen members of the Swedish royal court are expected to be present at the lunch, according to Kensington Palace.
Middleton dressed simply in a forest green turtleneck dress, black tights, and pumps, but her stylish Swedish counterpart, Princess Victoria, went for something more lavish - a pink dress covered in rose patterns with sheer sleeves and a pussy-bow neckline. The Queen wore a royal blue skirt suit, and the King and two Princes were also sharply dressed.
Like William and Kate, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel are parents to two young children, five-year-old Princess Estelle and one-year-old Prince Oscar. (You might recall the family of four's adorably snowy Christmas card.) The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, however, are expecting another baby in April.

Though this may be the two couples' first official photo together, it might not be their first time meeting. Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel actually attended the Duke and Duchess' wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011.
William and Kate's visit to Stockholm's royal palace is part of their four-day royal tour of Sweden and Norway, which began today. The trip is part of their duties as unofficial Brexit ambassadors, as they attempt to strengthen relations with nearby European countries before Britain exits the EU.
After the luncheon, the Duke, Duchess, Princess, and Prince took a walk together through Stockholm's cobblestone streets to the Nobel Museum.
The change in scenery called for change in wardrobe. Middleton donned a green coat with a black fur trim and matching hat, gloves, pants, and black ankle booties. The Crown Princess wore opted for an army green double breasted coat, oxblood leather gloves, and a plum clutch and booties to match her rosy dress underneath.
Meanwhile, the princes bundled up in scarves and navy coats.
The royal couples greeted fans on the street on their way to the museum, where they're slated to meet with Nobel laureates.
