Stockholm’s City Hall hosted the glittering event where the Swedish royal family showcased some world-class bling to join the globe’s brightest minds for the annual Nobel Prize ceremony and feast.

The ten laureates and their regal dinner companions were feted in a blaze of candlelight and amid 20,000 white, yellow and orange flowers which were donated by the Italian city of San Remo, where Alfred Nobel died in 1896. Heavily pregnant Crown Princess Victoria, 38 (right), wore the Connaught Diamond Tiara and a necklace set with amethysts the size of marbles in honour of the grand occasion. Her sister-in-law, former bikini model Princess Sofia (left), who announced her pregnancy in September, accessorised her midnight-blue gown with the petite emerald and diamond tiara that was designed for her wedding day.
