"Dear Papa": Crown Princess Victoria’s emotional birthday speech to King Carl XVI Gustaf.

During the dinner, the Crown Princess gave a speech to the King, in which she said, among other things: But the most important thing you have conveyed to us – not so much in words as in action – is the respect and humility for the mission. Serving Sweden has been, and is, not only your life's work, but your calling. Together with my mother, you have shown me and my siblings, every day, what it means to honor your mission. I will do everything I can to pass that understanding on to the next generation. The next link in the chain.
