There was great interest from both the public and the media when H.R.H. Princess Estelle visited Östergötland to inaugurate Naturum Tåkern's tenth anniversary.
Because Estelle is the Duchess of Östergötland, there is now a salon at Linköping Castle that bears her name.
At a ceremony at Linköping Castle a portrait of Estelle was unveiled at her salon. The Crown Princess family also received a guided tour by Christel Storm, museum director at Linköpings Castle- and Cathedral museum, who was dressed up in a period dress in honor of the day. At Naturum Tåkern was an outdoor lunch, an educational field activity, tasting of anniversary ice cream, guiding along Princess Estelle's fairytale path and the inauguration of Naturum Tåkern's anniversary weekend.
Governor Carl Fredrik Graf says that it was a very nice day and it was fun that the Crown Princess and family expressed that they were very happy with the visit and that the program was well balanced. Graf hopes that Estelle wants to see more of her duchy in the future.

At Naturum Tåkern Estelle and her parents had a locally produced lunch, which consisted of a wild boar stew. The weather offered both wind, a few raindrops, but mostly sunshine.
Estelle tried out the pedagogical field activity with a focus on water and the environment, which all 10-year-olds in Ödeshög, Mjölby and Vadstena had the chance to do during the spring. Estelle had to collect small insects to a net bag and determine species together with guides to discover the diversity in Tåkern. When she walked on the fairytale path, at nature guide Malin Granlund Feldt's station she had collected flowers that grow around Tåkern's beach meadow.
Does the princess usually pick up flowers?
- Sometimes, but I do not know what I pick. I take those I recognize, Estelle said.
Has the princess been given time off from school today?
- Yes, I have taken time off. My miss is from here so it went well.
Victoria added: It is best that you learn now because you may have to report and tell about this in school later. And now we know that the the bird's-eye primrose does not smell very good.
Did the princess have a fun day?
- Yes, it has been great fun, especially when we were working with net bag, she says before the trip to Stockholm.

Estelle has been on a mission. She visited her duchy of Östergötland - for the first time since 2014.
Court's information officer Daniel Urso says that the visit is a natural part of Princess Estelle being the Duchess of Östergötland and that she is accompanied by her parents and introduced to her duchy.
The schedule for the day was packed.
Daniel Urso said at lunchtime, that Estelle was here last in 2014 and then she was much younger. So this is a natural part of her continuing to deepen her knowledge and her relationship with the duchy. She has had a very nice morning.
