The Swedish royal family donned traditional dress to celebrate the country's National Day in the capital of Stockholm on Thursday. A beaming Crown Princess Victoria, 46, who is the heir to the throne, waved to the crowds as she rode in a horse-drawn carriage with her husband Prince Daniel, 50, and their children (inset). While she and her daughter wore traditional folk dress in the colours of the Swedish flag (right), her younger brother Prince Carl Philip (left with wife Princess Sofia) opted for a smart suit with a blue tie.

The royal, 46, grinned as she huddled by her eight-year-old while the pair inaugurated the World of Water exhibit at the Swedish Museum of Natural History on Monday. Her youngest child appeared delighted as he took in the display, playfully posing by a poster with an eagle. Oscar also seemed entranced by an installation representing planet Earth. Elsewhere, he and his mother looked at a selection of plants. Victoria was on theme in a blue, green and yellow floral print dress which cinched at the waist.

Twelve-year-old Estelle looked the spitting image of her graceful mother, 46, as the two co-ordinated in summery white gowns, alongside Crown Prince Daniel (left). The family stepped out to visit a new installation at The Princess Estelle Sculpture Park in Djurgården and Victoria's close bond with her daughter was evident as they chatted and shared a cuddle (right) before the unveiling.

During the 18th century, John Singleton Copley and his wife enslaved three servants on their farm in Beacon Hill, Boston. In the Royal Academy's (RA) Entangled Pasts exhibition, the American artist is shown to having links to slavery, which delves into the art institution's ties to colonialism and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. In 1779, 11 years after the Royal Academy opened, Copley was elected as an academic - one of the most prestigious groups of painters, sculptors, architects, and printers. Earlier this month, the RA was chastised for slapping a trigger warning on the exhibit, in which it warned that it would feature themes of slavery and bigotry, as well as historical racial language and images.'

The blanket warning has been sent out for the forthcoming 'Entangled Pasts: Art, Colonialism, and Change' exhibition, which warns people that it will have elements of slavery and racial representation, as well as historical racial language and images.' The new exhibit explores empire, enslavement, resistance, abolition, and colonialism, running from February 3 to May 28. It includes work by JMW Turner, Ellen Gallagher, Joshua Reynolds, Yinka Shonibare, John Singleton Copley, and Hew Locke. Lubaina Himid, the show's host, said it was a "thorough, rich, layered filling in of holes," showing how black people had contributed to Britain. 'It'll be like a journey through time,' she said, though she added some paintings that were 'difficult.'

Nigerian David Oluwale was the first black man to die in police detention after being pursued by officers Seargent Kenneth Kitching and Inspector Geoffrey Ellerker to his death in Leeds in 1969. Gary Galvin, a young police cadet who told his bosses of the offence, resulted in the officers' serving prison sentences for assault. Carl, his son, now a senior police officer, told The One Show that he was extremely proud of his late father's conduct.
