Her Majesty was watching the equestrian jumping event during the 2016 Rio Olympics with King Carl XVI Gustaf and the Dutch royals.
Wanting to capture some of the highlights to show friends and family back home, Queen Silvia whipped out her smart phone and got to work.

Wouldn’t you know, Silvia’s phone case features a smiling Princess Estelle, the consort’s first grandchild.

Don’t tell Leonore that grandma is using Estelle’s pic as her phone cover. OMG so awkward.
Truth be told, I don’t think she’d care:
They say there is one in every family……
