Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden has begun a special officer training course. On August 19, the Royal House of Sweden announced that the 47-year-old crown princess wants to "deepen her commitment to the armed forces and gain a deeper understanding of tactics, military science and military strategy."

According to People magazine, the training is part of the crown princess' desire to continually expand her knowledge in preparation for her future mission as head of state. In the new photos, Victoria, who will wear the rank of cadet during the course, can be seen wearing a green military uniform.

Spring 2024 Reuters reported that the crown princess will begin special training for officers in the fall, noting that Sweden joined NATO in March as the war in Ukraine continues. It is a historic royal tradition for heirs to gain military experience before ascending the throne.

In November 2023, she visited Swedish military personnel who are training Ukrainian soldiers as part of the UK-led Operation Interflex during a visit to England with her husband Prince Daniel.
