It will be a slimmed national day celebration with the royal family this year.
But those who want to get a glimpse of the Palace can get a guided tour of Crown Princess Victoria - on social media.
- Those who had been looking forward to coming to Royal Palace can at least visit the castle digitally, says Johan Tegel at the court's information department.
Tomorrow is Sweden's National Day. Then the royal family are usually in focus, but since the situation is as it is, there are a lot of changes in the traditions.
The royal couple, Carl XVI Gustav and Silvia, have been in a kind of quarantine at Stenhammar castle in Sörmland since March.
Both are over 70 years of age and thus in the corona virus risk group. On National Day in honor, however, they go to Stockholm throughout the day.
At the Palace, the king will record a television speech, without audience, which SVT broadcasts in the evening. The tradition of The Royal Swedish Army Band's great tapto from Logården at the Palace remains, but it becomes a very small audience. Only the royal couple, Speaker of the Riksdag Andreas Norlén and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven are in place.
We others can watch the television broadcast in the evening. This year the king and queen do not go to Skansen in the evening, as they usually do.
- The royal family will not participate in Skansen, says Johan Tegel.
Traditionally, the Palace has "open house" on National Day with activities for all visitors. This is not the case this year. Instead, Crown Princess Victoria will showcase selected parts of the Palace on Facebook and Instagram.
- It is usually a member of the royal family who opens the Palace and welcomes the visitors. The Crown Princess has instead chosen to open the Palace digitally and showcase some of the halls, says Johan Tegel.
According to information to Aftonbladet, Daniel, Estelle and little Oscar will appear next to Victoria.
- Never before have you seen so much of Estelle and Oscar. The whole family really offers themselves, says a person with insight in the production.
But the court does not want to reveal any details about the tour.
- We must return to that. But this is a reduced celebration this year, says Johan Tegel.

But now everyone is wondering why Prince Daniel has a dark suit? Why shouldn't we see him in province costume?
This is how information officer Johan Tegel from the court answers :
- The tradition does not look so simple. In adulthood, the men in the Royal Family do not usually wear national costume, even if it has happened.
- Prince Daniel has an Ockelbo costume, which he is proud of and which he has worn before. But when shooting was done for National Day, the Crown Princess family wore costumes from their duchies.

Tomorrow is National Day and Victoria has already started the celebration together with Estelle and Oscar in national costume!.
Estelle has turned eight and Oscar is four, and previously we have only seen them in the blue and yellow Sweden costume.
But now they have got new nice costumes sewn and the choice was both difficult and easy. Of course, Estelle's costume would come from her Duchy of Östergötland. But then there are many parishes and costumes to choose from.
Finally, it was a summer costume from Skedevi, located in the municipality of Finspång, a few miles north of Norrköping.
The same goes for Prince Oscar, Skåne's own mini-duke. It became a costume from Ingelstad herded - and Ingelstad is a town located just south of Växjö.
The duchies plays a clear role in the royal family's life, and when it was time for Princess Estelle to do her young life's first royal assignment at the age of two, Linköping was the obvious choice.
Duke Oscar was a little more discreet when he made his entry into Skåne, it actually happened completely incognito. But then Victoria offered some great pictures from the big day.
Victoria herself wears her Vadsbro costume in the pictures, and she has had it ever since she was in her teens.
