We will pull this out of the Bits and Bobs discussion so that people can find it more easily. There was a big announcement from the Swedish Royal House this morning. Thank you to our community member ellendiane for bringing this to our attention.

Princess Madeleine and Prince Carl Phillip both posted on their Instagram, applauding the decision. You can find those posts in the Bits and Bobs comments.
It is big news and worthy of discussion. I know I am personally fascinated. We can wonder whether other royal houses will follow suit, but let’s not tell them they have to. In other words, let’s keep our speculation on the Handbag side, which is to say let’s keep it light and positive!
