Queen Silvia's sad look back: "I have never spoken about it before"! A sentence that makes one sit up and take notice - and breaks decades of silence. For the first time, Queen Silvia speaks about an experience that has accompanied her to this day. It happened at a moment that should have changed her life forever.

Love at first sight - yet overshadowed

The 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich are considered a turning point in Silvia's life. There, she met her future husband, King Carl Gustaf – an encounter both later described as love at first sight. From it, a marriage lasting decades emerged, with three children, ten grandchildren and soon 50 years together. But the Munich Games also had a dark side.

Terror shakes Olympia

On September 5, 1972, terrorists attacked the Olympic Games. 17 people lost their lives, and the world looked on in shock at Munich. For many, this marked the end of a sense of security – but for Silvia, the danger was apparently not yet over.
