Since 1976, Queen Silvia has been in the public eye at King Carl XVI Gustaf's side. We've seen her in silk dresses and glittering tiaras at Nobel dinners and state visits. But few know what she did beyond royal duties.
To find out how the queen uses her role to influence important social issues, journalist Ingrid Thörnqvist has followed the queen's everyday work for a year. How does she pursue her heart questions about sexual abuse of children, about dementia care, about the importance of adult role models for young people? What has she achieved - and how will she be described in the history books?
In a personal reportage book and with key people, the reader gets to follow the Queen's work up close - right into the closed boardrooms, where no journalist has previously had access. The book gives a unique insight into a very unusual mission, connected to marriage, tradition and duty - but where there are great opportunities to influence. Hardback, in Swedish, illustrated, 221 pages.
