The King, who was dressed in an admiral’s uniform, was pictured wearing the Order of the Seraphim, the Order of the Sword, the Order of the North Star, the Order of Vasa, the Grand Commander’s insignia of the Order of Dannebrog, as well as Swedish and Norwegian royal commemorative medals.

The Swedish monarch acceded to the throne at the age of 27 on September 15th, 1973 after the death of his grandfather, King Gustaf VI Adolf. The King is Sweden’s longest-reigning monarch of all time. The King’s anniversary year will kick off this month with a dinner. As part of the celebration in 2023, the King and Queen Silvia are scheduled to visit Sweden’s 21 counties between February and September.
At age 76 he's in decent health, wouldn't surprise me at all if he reaches a Diamond Jubilee too.

The second Golden Jubilee in Europe recently, with Queen Margrethe II of Denmark celebrating her Golden last year.
