Ann-Sofie Klint was with the family at Strömsholm Castle on the outskirts of Västerås on Saturday afternoon.
They wanted to see the aspen that is currently playing in the water around the castle.
– We would observe the asparagus, this fish, they are big and fresh, so we went there. When we stopped there and looked into the water, a nice car appeared in front of the castle, and we said that so you can’t drive. So I joked that it could be the king? So it was.
Queen Silvia and Princess Birgitta also got out of the car, a new BMW M8 Competition.
The Bytbil site previously reported that the king chose a specially ordered paint on the car, but not what color.
The king obviously chose a turquoise blue.
– My son said it was the king’s new car. It was great, you’re not that realistic, but you’re interested anyway. They probably wanted a secluded excursion, just like me, says Ann-Sofie Klint, who says she was very close to both the royal couple and the children during the trip to Strömsholm.
Chief Information Officer: does not violate any restrictions
For several weeks, the king and queen have not been seen outside Stenhammar Castle, where they remain during the crown pandemic.
On April 5, the king made a speech to the Swedish town of Stenhammar, saying that many will not be able to travel and spend time with the family over the Easter weekend.
– But some of this will not be possible this Easter. We have to think about it, make sure we stay home, said the king.
– We all have this obligation in our country, each one of us.
From Stenhammar Castle on the outskirts of Flen to Strömsholm Castle on the outskirts of Västerås, it is about 7 km and an hour by car. According to the Chief Information Officer of the Court, Margareta Thorgren, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia are careful with the recommendations of the Public Health Authority.
– The King couple have been in Stenhammar for several weeks as a result of the crown crisis. The King couple follows the recommendations of the Public Health Authority. And going on excursions is something that the royal couple has the opportunity to do, without breaking any restrictions for that reason.
She does not want to comment further on the trip to Strömsholm.
– Private tours are not what the court said, but the royal couple is very careful to follow the recommendations of the Public Health Authority, says Margareta Thorgren.
According to the Public Health Authority, people age 70 and older should limit their “close contacts.” They are encouraged to stay away from where many people are staying at the same time, but walking outdoors is not a problem.
Carl Gustaf gave a speech to the nation on Sunday, April 5.
